United States citizenship confers the right to acquire a U.S. passport.[1] The one shown above is a post-2007 issued passport. Citizenship in the United States, being a citizen, is a status that entails specific rights, privileges, and duties.
Citizenship is understood as a "right to have rights" since it serves as a foundation for a bundle of subsequent rights, such as the right to live and work in the United States and to receive federal assistance.[2] There are two primary sources of citizenship: birthright citizenship, in which a person is presumed to be a citizen provided that he is born within the territorial limits of the United States,[3] and naturalization, a process in which an immigrant applies for citizenship and is accepted. These two pathways to citizenship are specified in the Citizenship Clause of the Constitution's 1868 Fourteenth Amendment which reads: U.S. law permits multiple citizenship.

I apologize if someone has already posted this information, however, the below information came about as I pondered, “Do Americans really want the ‘change’ President Obama claims America voted for in 2008?” So I decided to pull a few numbers together, in an effort to find out what percentage of Americans truly voted for Obama's campaign for ‘change’. The below information is not scientific, I simply pulled a few stats together using numbers from the US Census Bureau and CNN’s web site. I’ve included each link, so you can correct me if I am wrong with my calculations (I welcome productive criticism).
Bottom line, based on my humble research, only 33% of Americans voted for Obama in 2008. My point, 67% did not (38% didn’t even bother to vote). I hope you and Glen Beck can use this logic to help open the eyes of our politicians – 33% is not a majority of America, only a majority of voters.
