A bill to amend section 301 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to clarify those classes of individuals born in the United States who are not nationals or citizens of the United States at birth.
AI Summary
This bill, the Constitutional Citizenship Clarification Act of 2024, amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to clarify that certain individuals born in the United States are not automatically granted U.S. citizenship at birth. Specifically, the bill excludes from birthright citizenship the children of foreign diplomats, foreign troops engaged in hostile operations, and individuals unlawfully present in the U.S. The bill seeks to codify the common law principle that citizenship is based on allegiance and obedience to the United States, rather than solely on the location of one's birth.
