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. The clause about ‘subject to jurisdiction’ is dealing specifically with the children of diplomats or agents of a foreign government, who have official diplomatic or foreigner status.
