[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Consider what the strict form of ending birthright citizenship could actually mean, that being if your parents weren't both citizens, you lose citizenship

This is probably not accurate. The 14th amendment would still apply to people born in the US “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” Presumably, any reasonable interpretation of this would include anyone that has at least one parent who is US citizen or a legal resident of the US. It would not include someone who is illegally present in the US. However, the applicability for people on a tourist visa, TPS, or other statuses that do not confer a pathway to resident status is uncertain. [/quote]

If at least one parent is a natural born citizen and they are born in the US they shall be granted birthright citizenship.

Maybe make the rule that both naturalized is required to grant birth right citizenship, or maybe at least one.
