Is Superman an American citizen?

[xiphias]

No, seriously: he was born on Krypyon to Kryptonian parents. He was RAISED in Kansas by the Kents who raised him as their own. But would he be an American citizen, or is he an illegal, undocumented alien?

I think after a while, he'd have been naturalized.

In order to do so, he'd have to explain where he came from, which he couldn't do and maintain his secret identity as Clark Kent. . .

i would assume, that when you find a child in a cornfield, you can go to authorities, who do some legal thing determining hte child is really abandoned, and you get to formally adopt them,. which gives the kid a certificate liek a birth certificate, and then the yare naturalized (thoguh i assume that hte system assumes the child is already a citizen, jsut with no proof)
