No, a 1790 law does not prohibit anyone from being president if their parents are not US citizens. The natural-born citizen requirement for the presidency is specified in the US Constitution, not in any 1790 law. According to the Constitution, a person must be a natural-born citizen, at least 35 years old, and have been a resident of the United States for 14 years to be eligible for the presidency.

If they want to, yes?AnswerUnfortunately Yes......(IF) you live in your parents home then they can set their own rules that you must follow in order for you to live there..... However Legally NO they cant prohibit you from seeing your boyfriend or anyone else,because in every state in the USA at age 18 you are considered an adult, you can vote,join the military,rent your own apartment,take out loans ect ect..all without your parents permission,and you may talk to or carry on a relationship with anyone you chose to,your parents may protest such things but they can not prohibit you from doing anything after age 18....

There are one way to become a naturalized citizen. A person that was born outside the United States to parents who aren't citizens of the US. Explanations: A child born in the USA from parents who are both already US citizens do NOT need "naturalized". All are natural citizens. A child outside the US if both parents are US citizens is accepted as a US citizen. A child born in a US possession if one parent is a US citizen qualifies for natural US citizenship.

Who could claim citizenship?

Anyone who had citizens for parents were Roman citizens. Any child of a freedman was also a Roman citizen.

Auxiliaries in the Roman army were granted citizenship upon their retirement.
