To a proud American, it should be both.

Nowhere in the U.S. Constitution are we explicitly granted a "right to vote".
So by default, the answer to your questions, is: Voting is a privilege (and some including myself, would say it is also a responsibility).

You have answered your own question. It's referred to as the "Right to Vote." However, in America, that right is reserved for legalized or naturalized citizens of the United States.

It's a right to citizens in good standing. Meaning you must be a US citizen and you cannot be a convicted felon. You must also be at least 18.

It's neither, it is an obligation and a responsibility. Our forfathers fought and died to give you that right, so you owe it to them to voice your opinion through voting.
