American citizenship Quote by Garrett Epps

Download Open image
““Though Article II requires “natural born” citizenship, the Constitution does not explain what the phrase means. There was no constitutional definition of American citizenship until 1868, when the Fourteenth Amendment was adopted. Nor was there any existing body of American immigration law to explain it.””
