I have a question. I should know the answer but I can't dig it up in this little pea-brain of mine.

If a mother and/or father are U.S. citizens, and they have a child who happens to be born in a different country, is the child automatically a U.S. citizen?

If both are citizens, YES. If only one is, it depends on the number of years the citizen lived in the States and when in his life those years occurred. All of this if IRC.
