Is a personhood fetus a U.S. citizen? Does not seem to meet the criteria:

U.S. citizenship can be obtained in one of four ways:

birth in the United States or its territories
birth to U.S. citizen parents (called "acquisition" of citizenship)
naturalization (obtaining citizenship after an application and exam), or
naturalization of one's parents (called "derivation" of citizenship).
