| | Hexapedia - Natural-born citizen |
 | | The special term "natural born Citizen" is used in particular as a requirement for eligibility to serve as President or Vice-President of the United States. |  | | In general, a natural-born citizen of a country is someone who is legally recognized as that country's citizen as of the moment of birth, rather than by acquiring citizenship afterwards through naturalization. |  | | Some legal experts interpret "natural-born citizen" to mean a "citizen at birth." Under one such interpretation, anyone who is duly recognized as a "citizen at birth" persuant to the requirements of Title 8, Section 1401 of the U.S. Code would be considered eligible for the Presidency or Vice-Presidency. |

| | Citizenship |
 | | Foreign-born adoptees who become citizens as children receive a "certificate of citizenship" not a "certificate of naturalization." However, this distinction is intended to differentiate between people who become naturalized at the instigation of their parents and those who become naturalized by their own choice -- not to differentiate between naturalization and some other process. |  | | First, a strict interpretation of the language in the Constitution seems to imply that foreign-born adoptees are not "natural born" citizens and hence are not eligible to be President. |  | | This statement appears to rule out the possibility that "naturalized" citizens could be considered "natural-born," but it does not indicate whether any people other than "native" or "native-born" citizens can be considered "natural-born" and it does not reveal whether the naturalization clause gives Congress the power to determine what "natural-born" means. |

 | | On Wednesday the Philippine Supreme Court, by a vote of 8-5, ruled that Poe Jr is, in fact, a natural-born citizen of the Philippines and hence qualified to run for president per the constitutional nationality requirement. |  | | The majority of Supreme Court justices decided that, under the 1935 constitution, Poe is indeed a natural-born Filipino citizen because his father, a Filipino citizen, recognized him as his son. |  | | Petitioners Victor Fornier and Jeanette Tecson had argued that Poe was not a natural-born citizen because he was born illegitimately and thus assumed the citizenship of his American mother. |

| | FindLaw's Writ - Dean: A Fresh, Powerful Case for Amending the U.S. Constitution to Remove the "Natural Born" Qualification For the Presidency |
 | | Of course, being "natural born" is not a reliable proxy for a citizen's loyalty; nor is being born abroad somehow an index of disloyalty. |  | | Duggin and Collins believe they are probably "natural born" citizens as Article II requires, but note that "a modicum of uncertainty remains." D.C., of course, never became a state; as a result, residents have only token representation in Congress, and the Constitution had to be amended so they could vote in presidential elections. |  | | Adopted in 1868, the Fourteenth Amendment stipulates that "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States
." This language raises a number of questions. |

 | | Clearly, someone born in the United States or one of its territories is a natural born citizen. |  | | While there was scant debate on this provision during the Constitutional Convention, it is apparent that the decision to include the natural born citizen requirement in our Constitution was driven largely by the concern over 200 years ago that a European monarch might be imported to rule the United States. |  | | Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5 of our Constitution, which sets forth the eligibility criteria for the Office of the President, requires a President to be a natural born citizen. |

| | A foreign-born president? - The Washington Times: Commentary |
 | | The natural-born citizen requirement is conspicuous on account of the fact that nowhere else in our law is there a distinction drawn between those who are citizens at birth and those who become citizens via naturalization. |  | | The natural-born citizen requirement is one of those parts of the Constitution that has operated silently over the years, without litigation. |  | | By which he means that it's unfair to naturalized citizens, because they are denied an "equal opportunity" to run for president; and unfair to us voters, because we are denied "every opportunity to choose" our leaders. |
