Also, current U.S. statutes define various categories of individuals born overseas as citizens at birth, i.e. natural born, including (for example) all persons "born outside of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents both of whom are citizens of the United States and one of whom has had a residence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions, prior to the birth of such persons. The Supreme Court has never ruled on the meaning of the phrase "natural born"
