American Citizenship Act

This bill would change federal immigration law to say who becomes a U.S. citizen at birth. A person born in the United States would be a citizen only if they are not subject to any foreign power. A child born in the United States would be treated as subject to a foreign power if neither parent is a U.S. citizen or a lawful permanent resident at the time of the birth. The change would not affect the citizenship of anyone born before the law takes effect.
