Political Factoid

"The Citizenship Clause
of the Fourteenth Amendment
does not extend birthright
citizenship to United States
nationals born in unincorporated
territories."*
 
"U.S. nationals have the right
to reside in the United States
(i.e., the 50 states and District of Columbia),
and may apply for citizenship
by naturalization after three
months of residency by passing
a test in English and civics,
and by taking an oath of allegiance
to the United States."
