<div>The weight of legal and historical authority indicates that the term
"natural born" citizen would mean a person who is entitled to U.S.
citizenship "by birth" or "at birth", either by being born "in" the
United States and under its jurisdiction, even those born to alien
parents; by being born abroad to U.S. citizen-parents; or by being born
in other situations meeting legal requirements for U.S. citizenship "at
birth". Such term, however, would not include a person who was not a
U.S. citizen by birth or at birth, and who was thus born an "alien"
