Usually, an individual that was born in a US territory like Guam or Puerto Tico has the right to have US citizenship. But, can an individual born in any of the US territories run for President of the US?

Someone who has been born on a US Territory, such as Puerto Rico, is considered a US citizen.  They can run for presidency if they are at least 35 and be a resident of the US for at least 14 years.

Since you r a US citizen, the newborn has automatic citizenship.  it is base on the principle of jus sanguinis, which holds that the country of citizenship of a child is the same as that of his/her parents.

Anyone, foreign citizen or otherwise, can own property in the US. Permanent residency allows you to buy and permanently live in a house in the US. It does not allow you to receive any benefits that are given only to citizens, meaning you cannot get social security or vote, and likely hold political office, though that may depend on the office. To receive those rights, you must become a naturalized citizen.

JPB and Just are correct:  you must be either a US citizen or a legal permanent resident in order to serve in the US military.

You could be speaking of a president that is born in either of these two states, or one who resides there at the time he becomes president.  Either way, while it is possible that the president might someday come from any particular state, it is unlikely that either of these two states is likely to provide us with a president anytime soon.  Most of our past presidents have come from very populous states, such as New York, Ohio, Virginia, Texas and California. All are hotbeds of national politics. And although some states have produced more presidents simply because they have been states longer than others, we find that several of the original thirteen colonies have never produced a president!  Among these are Georgia, Vermont, and even Pennsylvania.  So it would be unlikely to expect a tiny state like Hawaii to give us a president, or even a large state like Alaska.  Neither are politically important enough, and neither has a large population.

I think if you are a naturalized citizen you should be able to have all the rights of a citizen born in that country, especially if you're a better player than the born citizen.

In most cases, you must be a US citizen.

As long as you live in the western hemisphere you are an American - not a US citizen or resident.  The only true way that can be interpreted is to say patriot because all races & heratrages can be a 100%.

They must be citizens of the country they want to compete for.. thats a no brainer\n\nbut there are rules that apply to people with two or more citizenships. \n\nMy roomate had a Trinidad and Tobago citizenship and a Canadian one.. he had to choose well before the Olymps to which one he was trying to go for.. he went for Trinidad and won their first swimming medal.. great story

It depends on how you become a citizen. Most citizens are born citizens, which happens to anyone born in the United States or US territory, unless they are born to a foreign diplomat and to anyone born to a US citizen as long as the parents lived in the US at some point.\n\nTo naturalize as a citizen, you must first somehow become a permanent resident, which can happen a large number of ways. You must then remain in the United States aside from short vacations for a particular number of years, depending on the basis for your permanent residence, apply for citizenship, and take a test.

Panama is one of the few countries - like the US - in which birth in the country automatically accords citizenship.  See\nhttp://www.multiplecitizenship.com/wscl/ws_PANAMA.html\n\nBecause you were born of American parents and you have a CRBA, you are also a US citizen.  You may live in the US just as every US citizen does, with all rights and obligations.  You are entititled to a US passport, and must use it to enter and leave the US.\n\nAlthough you were born a Panamanian citizen, under Panamanian law you are supposed to decide which citizenship you want to retain - US or Panamanian - when you turn 18.  The US, on the other hand, does not have any laws against dual citizenship.\n\nYou can ask the US Embassy in Panama City (American Citizen Services) if Panama actually enforces that law or not.  You can also ask the Panamanian Embassy in Washington.  The address and phone number are in the link I gave you above.\n\nBy the way, you should know that, as a dual national, if you ever get into trouble in either country, you will be treated exactly like every other citizen of that country.  For example, if you're arrested in Panama, the US Embassy will not be able to assist you; you are Panamanian when you're in Panama.\n\nSince you want a copy of your Panamanian birth certificate, I suggest you call or write the Panamanian Embassy in Washington. They should be able to tell you how to get it.

The Mexican Consulate. In order to have dual citizenship you must have been born in Mexico, and then become a naturalized citizen. It is not a rare request and they do offer it after paying fees and providing the required Documentation. Is this so you can vote in Mexico?\nThere may be other ways to gain dual citizenship, such as generation clauses, but you would have to investigate that further.

Not even all people residing within the United States have a regular "brith certificate"--as was mentioned above, they are not issued by the federal government. \n\nTo get a little more in depth into the issue: \n\nIf someone was born a citizen and born within the US, they will likely have a birth certificate issued by their city, county, or state. However, if a person was born to American citizens who were living outside of the US at the time, that person would instead have a Consular Report of Birth Aboard. Likewise, If a person now living in the United States was not a citizen at birth but became one later in life, they would instead have a Naturalization Certificate/Certificate of Citizenship.

No.  Birthright citizenship (which needs to be abloished) applies to persons "born in the United States", and a territory does not qualify.  However, if either parent were American, citizenship would pass to the child in that fashion.

Puerto Ricans are under the US law since it is our Commonwealth. They are considered US citizens.  They may come live in the US without a passport or visa. They do not pay taxes either. They do not cast ballots for president, but they do get to elect a resident commissioner to sent to washington to serve in the US House of Representatives. But he does not get a vote in congress. And by Puerto Rico being a Comonwealth they are bound by the Laws of the United States, so therefore are not "supposed" to travel to certain countries.

Although Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens, residents of Puerto Rico pay no federal income tax, nor can they vote in presidential elections. The United States of America's Constitution indicates no taxation without representation. In as much as Puerto Rico representing itself with International sports (Olympics, World Baseball Classic, World Soccer, etc) they are considered a common wealth such as Guam. However; if they are ever included to statehood; that factor would change. They would be treated just like Hawaii and Alaska.
