Section 5 says. and I think it must be .changed if the committee wishes to have it conform to the statement made by the gentleman from California. thata child born without the United States of alien parents shall be deemed a citizen of the United States by virtue of the naturalization of or resumption of American citizenship by the parent. It does not state which parent. Provided. That such naturalization or resumption takes place during the minority of such child: And provided further. That the citizenship of such minor child shall begin at the time such minor child begins to reside permanently in the United States. Now. you have not attempted to amend section 5. so that if the mother becomes naturalized during the minority of the foreignborn child. and the husband and -father -does not. the child under this law will take the citizenship of the mother.
