Citizenship in the United States
Citizens of the United States can live and work in the U.S. permanently
and will be protected from losing their status if they pursue extensive
traveling abroad. Other benefits of obtaining citizenship include the
ability to vote in U.S. elections and petitioning for permanent residency
for relatives.

Citizenship can be achieved in one of the following ways:
- Birth
- Derivation
- Naturalization
