Quote:
If one parent is a U.S. citizen and the other parent is not, the child is a citizen if- the U.S. citizen parent has been "physically present" in the U.S. before the child's birth for a total period of at least five years, and
- at least two of those five years were after the U.S. citizen parent's fourteenth birthday.
