Question

which of the following individuals can become a naturalized citizen? a) anyone born inside the united states b) anyone born outside the united states to parents who arent citizens of the united states c) anyone born in a united states possession, as long as one parent is a citizen of the united states d) anyone born outside the united states to parents who are both citizens of the united states

Explanation:

To determine who can become a naturalized citizen, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Individuals born inside the US are typically citizens by birthright (jus soli), not through naturalization.
• Option B: A person born outside the US to non - citizen parents is not a US citizen by birth. They would need to go through the naturalization process to become a US citizen, so this individual can become a naturalized citizen.
• Option C: Those born in a US possession with one citizen parent are citizens by birth (jus sanguinis or a combination with place of birth), not through naturalization.
• Option D: Those born outside the US to two US citizen parents are citizens by birth (jus sanguinis), not through naturalization.

Answer:

B) Anyone born outside the United States to parents who aren't citizens of the United States
