Harris was born Oct. 20, 1964, and her father was a citizen of Jamaica at the time of her birth.
Specifically, Chapter 2 (entitled Citizenship) of the Jamaica Constitution, Section 3C states:
Every person born outside Jamaica shall become a citizen of Jamaica –
-
on the sixth day of August 1962, in the case of a person born before that date; or
-
on the date of his/her birth, in the case of a person born on or after the sixth day of August 1962,
if, at that date, his/her father or mother is a citizen of Jamaica by birth, descent, or
registration by virtue of marriage to a citizen of Jamaica.
Yeah. I was always told in school you have to be a natural born citizen which means your parents have to BOTH be citizens and you have to be born in the US or a US territory.
Your parents don't have to be citizens. You have to be a natural born citizen.
Thats what makes you a natural born citizen, both your parents being US citizens and being born in the US or US territory.
No, A natural-born citizen refers to someone who was a U.S. citizen at birth, and did not need to go through a naturalization proceeding later in life. Anchor baby = natural born citizen.
