I only know of my case. I am a US citizen. I was born abroad to my mother, a US citizen. At the time of my birth, my father was not a US citizen. My father was naturalized when I was about 12. I have always been a US citizen. My mother registered my birth as a US citizen born abroad. I have a US passport.

The minor children who lived across from us in the US were foreign born to legal residents. When both of their parents became naturalized, the two minor children were automatically naturalized. One child, who was, I believe 16, had to be naturalized. This was early 70s. The procedures may have changed. Only the older child had to be naturalized.

My oldest sister, who was also born abroad was older than the oldest neighbor child (I hope I'm being clear). My oldest sister did not have to be naturalized. She was born a US citizen due to my mother's status as a citizen. It works for either parents. If I'm reading post 10 correctly, even under the EO, children born to LPR(lawfully permitted residents) are still elligible for US citizenship.

I did not watch or listen to the new deliberation. According to MsToad's post below, maybe Kavanaugh has introduced some arguments questioning status of LPR children births and single parent citizenship?? It is unclear to me what that post means.

Trump issued an EO on Jan 20th rescinding birthright citizenship Arazi May 2025 #10
But that EO refers to cases when neither parent is a citizen. That doesn't apply to Trump's children. LauraInLA May 2025 #11
Were Ivana and Melania citizens when their children were born? Arazi May 2025 #12
Trump was a citizen, so his kids are citizens regardless of their mothers' status. I don't care about them, either, LauraInLA May 2025 #13
