Question
the citizenship clause of the fourteenth amendment says a naturalized person
○ is not a citizen and cannot become a citizen of the united states.
○ is a citizen, just like someone who was born in the united states.
○ must have been born in the united states, not in another country.
○ must have been born in a country other than the united states.
The citizenship clause of the Fourteenth Amendment (Section 1) states that all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. So a naturalized person is a citizen, equivalent to someone born in the US. The first option is wrong as naturalized people are citizens. The third and fourth are wrong as naturalized people are not born in the US (they go through naturalization, and birth in US is for birthright citizenship, while naturalized citizens are those who became citizens through the naturalization process, but the clause treats their citizenship status the same as those born in US).
