How? The us citizens have no consistent and reliable way to do so.
A birth certificate does not guarantee citizenship as it could have been renounced, social security numbers are granted to temporary workers and immigrants, and passports are not mandatory or encouraged by government.
If you are a natural born citizen who was stopped by law enforcement walking down the street today how would you prove you are a citizen right then and there?
How would you be able to actually prove you are a citizen without discovery of government records in a court of law?
When applying for a passport in the US, you must provide a birth certificate that meets many qualifications, that brith certificate is then cross referenced and verified. If you don't have it you have to do a lengthy file request process, a cross referenced birth certificate is the only way you can prove you are a natural born citizen, and that can't be accomplished on the side of the street.
