It seems up for debate:
Under the 14th Amendment's Naturalization Clause and the Supreme Court case of United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 US. 649, anyone born on U.S. soil and subject to its jurisdiction is a natural born citizen, regardless of parental citizenship. This type of citizenship is referred to as birthright citizenship.
Yeah. It's been up for debate for awhile. McCain got caught up in it because he was born outiside the US, but to American citizens. Argument was he was not born on US soil. Counter argument has also been made.
I'm sure.CJ Roberts will have some ridiculous position on it.
