Its my understanding that a child born of an American citizen, even if abroad at the time of birth, is automatically a citizen...that is to say, a natural born citizen. So if my wife gives birth while we are touring Spain this summer, our child will be a citizen. Is that correct? I want to make sure in case the little tyke wants to run for president some day. And isn't it the case that people are coming to America pregnant to have their child in America so that child will automatically be a "Natural born American", a so called anchor baby? Just wondering what you know about all this?
