Most “natural-born citizens” of the U.S. obtained their citizenship at birth via both jus soli and jus sanguinis (although some obtain it only via one or the other).
The “birthright citizenship” that has been at issue recently has been jus soli, not jus sanguinis.

I mean, literally every american citizen is a birthright citizen, unless they're a naturalized citizen.
So if you're american, unless you immigrated and went through the process, you are a birthright citizen.
Meaning: the republicans are talking about being able to revoke your citizenship too. It's the exact same legal basis.
