No provision of the US Constitution can be legally overturned by a presidential decree.

    Not every country gives citizenship to people born there.

    There are two basic models:

    • citizenship by soil
    • citizenship by blood

    In some countries you can be a 3rd or 4th generation resident but not have citizenship if none of your ancestors had citizenship.

    In other countries you can be a citizen even if neither you nor any of your parents or grandparents actually lived in the country, but you have an ancestor who did.

      Yes, but I didn’t say that’s how citizenship works in every country.
