Answer

  • The exception is: those with resident alien status

Step-by-step explanation:

If you think about the term, "resident alien," the answer is essentially spelled out by that term. The person is an "alien," which means someone from another country (not a US citizen). At the same time, the person is a "resident," which means the individual is residing in this country.

If a person was born in the United States, that person is a US citizen.

Also, someone born in another country that has been naturalized is also a US citizen. And the children (under age 18) of naturalized citizens are considered citizen also.
