Trump v. Barbara · ¶279
The Nationality Act of 1940 replaced that language with the same language (in relevant part) as the Citizenship Clause itself: a “person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” is a citizen. 54 Stat. 1138. Congress reenacted that provision verbatim in the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). 66 Stat. 235–236. It remains the governing statute today. See 8 U. S. C. §1401.Read in context ›
