Best Answer

An American citizen is someone who was either born in the United States and/or its territories (such as Puerto Rico); or has parents who are US citizens (even if the child was born overseas, if the parents are citizens, so is their child); or is someone who legally emigrated to the United States and after living in the US for a certain amount of time (usually five years), follows the procedures for becoming what is called a "naturalized" American citizen.
