    It can literally affect the citizenship of the baby which I find so strange.

      Only the Americas have jus soli really. Everywhere else it’s the parents’ citizenships that matters.

          There are a bunch of regulations to make sure that in most cases a US citizen giving birth abroad, will grant their kid US citizenship. Although the law does not “guarantee” it like it does in most countries outside the Americas.

          “Interestingly” the US does tend to apply jus sanguinis over jus soli in case of stateless people.
