American Citizenship Act amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to clarify birthright citizenship.

The American Citizenship Act amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to clarify the Citizenship Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. It specifies that a person born in the United States is a citizen if not subject to a foreign power, meaning neither parent is a U.S. citizen or lawfully admitted for permanent residence at the time of birth. This change does not affect the citizenship status of anyone born before the Act's enactment.
