The "Equal Citizenship for Children Act of 2023" is a federal bill aimed at granting automatic citizenship to certain children born abroad to U.S. citizens who do not meet current residency requirements. The main provisions of the bill include allowing children born to U.S. citizen parents who have spent at least five years in the U.S. or three years physically present in the country before the child's birth to acquire citizenship automatically. This proposed legislation seeks to address issues faced by some children of U.S. citizens born overseas who currently do not qualify for citizenship under existing laws, ensuring equal treatment and recognition of their American citizenship rights.
