Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -By acquiring citizenship. Immigration law calls this acquired citizenship. This is when a child born abroad automatically becomes a U.S. citizen if one (or both) of the parents is or was a U.S. citizen when the child was born.

Detailed explanation-2: -A child born outside of the United States and out of wedlock to a U.S. citizen mother may be entitled to U.S. citizenship providing the U.S. Citizen mother had been physically present in the United States for a continuous period of at least one year (365 days) at some time prior to the birth of the child.

Detailed explanation-3: -A person born abroad in wedlock to two U.S. citizen parents acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under section 301(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), if at least one of the parents had a residence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions prior to the person’s birth.

Detailed explanation-4: -The main difference between naturalization and citizenship is that a citizenship certificate is given to someone who acquires citizenship through their US parents by being born in the country. A certificate of naturalization is obtained by someone who becomes a citizen through the naturalization process.
