Question

Citizens of the United States include all of the following persons, except: a. those who have been naturalized. c. those who were 18 years or younger when their parents were naturalized. b. those with resident alien status. d. those who were born in the United States.

Answer 1

Answer

• The exception is:  those with resident alien status

Explanation:

If you think about the term, "resident alien," the answer is essentially spelled out by that term.  The person is an "alien," which means someone from another country (not a US citizen).  At the same time, the person is a "resident," which means the individual is residing in this country.

If a person was born in the United States, that person is a US citizen.

Also, someone born in another country that has been naturalized is also a US citizen.  And the children (under age 18) of naturalized citizens are considered citizen also.
