Not subject to any foreign power is pretty straightforward.

So let me give you these examples.

A boy is born here to an Iranian father who has entered the country illegally.

That boy is automatically an Iranian national at birth, and he has a duty to provide military service to the Iranian government.

Is he not subject to any foreign power?

The ordinary public meaning of that would certainly encompass that boy, would it not?

What I said about a boy born to an Iranian father is true of children born here to parents who were nationals of other countries.

If I'm correct, it's true to a child who's born here to Russian parents.

It's true to a child who's born here to Mexican parents.

They're automatically citizens or nationals of those countries and have a duty of military service.

It sure seems like that makes them subject to a foreign power.

Perfect.

Thank you.
