Obama doubles down, says NSA ‘cannot and have not’ eavesdropped on U.S. persons

What is a "U.S. person" and why didn't he use the word resident or citizen?
The government may not have "listened" to the calls, but it's possible they have them all in storage, deep in a mountain vault. and available to listen to at any time.

PS: Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they aren't there.
If David Copperfield has the technology, so does BB ;-)
I wonder how much information they are storing for US Persons like me. I have an Argentine IP but I use google and yahoo...
However, the definition of "US person" changes depending on agency. For example, the SEC and IRS broaden that definition to include trusts, estates, holdings. this is an interesting article regarding ongoing regulation changes:
