Best Answer

You are a natural born citizen of the United States if you were born in territory belonging to the United States.

You can still be a naturalized U.S. citizen if you weren't born in the U.S by going through legal procedures, but you can never be a natural born citizen unless you born as one.

The Supreme Court has never ruled on the exact meaning of the phrase "natural born" which appears is the US Constitution as a requirement for the US president.

Persons born in foreign countries with two US citizens as parents are US citizens but it is not known whether they are legally natural born.

Native citizen is one who is a citizen of his country by birthright.If parents are citizens of a country, by birth or naturalization, automatically kids become the citizens of that country through birth right.But naturalized citizen is one who goes through the naturalization process of Another Country he has chosen to settle in to become a citizen and its not his home country or the country where he was born and of which he/she is already a citizen by birth.

In the US there are two kinds of citizens, those who are citizens by birth and those who are naturalized citizens.

A citizen by birth is someone who is a citizen because they were born in sovereign territory of the US or whose parents were citizens at the time they were born, either in the US or elsewhere.

A naturalized citizen is a person who was not a citizen by birth but immigrated to the US and went through the process of becoming a citizen.

The rights and responsibilities of a citizen are the same, whether naturalized or born as a citizen. However, if someone provided materially false information about their history during the naturalization process, citizenship can be revoked through court process. This has happened, for example, when a person who had been a death camp guard in World War 2 Germany later applied for US citizenship and claimed to have been assigned to a fighting unit and never to a death camp.
