U.S. citizenship through birth or naturalization
Citizenship is defined as the relationship between an individual and a country in relation to the person’s allegiance and membership to that country. The Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides that all persons born or naturalized in the United States are citizens.
Citizenship may be acquired for those born outside the United States if one or both parents are U.S. citizens. This is called derivative-based citizenship. Congress controls the laws that govern citizenship and are subject to change from time to time.
Those who are granted U.S. citizenship possess all the rights, duties, and privileges of U.S. citizenship.
