Best Answer

You are a natural born citizen of the United States if you were born in territory belonging to the United States.

You can still be a naturalized U.S. citizen if you weren't born in the U.S by going through legal procedures, but you can never be a natural born citizen unless you born as one.

The Supreme Court has never ruled on the exact meaning of the phrase "natural born" which appears is the US Constitution as a requirement for the US president.

Persons born in foreign countries with two US citizens as parents are US citizens but it is not known whether they are legally natural born.

Is a native born a citizen?

A native born citizen is a person who was born a citizen of a certain country by virtue of the laws of that country . For example, I am a native born citizen of the United States because I was born a United States Citizen. This term shouldn't be confused with natural born citizen, which a legal term unique to the United States Constitution. Addendum: In the U.S., native born is a subset of natural born. All native borns are natural born but not all all natural borns are native born. Anyone born in the U.S. (save for children born to foreign diplomats or to foreign armed service members) are native born, and consequently natural born. As native born requires being born within the country, in this case the U.S., a child born to citizen parents abroad is still natural born, but not native born.
