Natural Born Citizen Act

A bipartisan bill (S. 2128) was introduced to the Senate on February 25, 2004. Senator James Inhofe (R-OK), Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) and Senator Don Nickles (R-OK) introduced this bill with the hopes of allowing children adopted abroad by U.S. citizens the same rights as native-born children. This would include the right to run for the President of the United States. We will keep you posted as this bill progresses.
