Wrong! Cruz is a statutory citizen born outside the jurisdiction of the United States. Remember people, a statutory citizen (bestowed by man's pen) can never be made into a natural born citizen (bestowed by God/nature).If your mother and/or father is an American citizen and you are born overseas, you are automatically entitled to American citizenship and are by right a "natural born citizen." Otherwise, every child born to American civilian and military personnel overseas would be ineligible to be president, an interpretation that the founders surely never intended.
That is why Cruz did not need to be naturalized. That is why McCain did not need to be naturalized.
Our youngest daughter was born overseas while I was in the military. The U.S. Embassy in the country issued her a certificate for the overseas birth of a U.S. citizen. She was a U.S. citizen at birth because both of her parents were American citizens. She would have received the same certificate if only one of us had been an American.
I agree. If you're a citizen at birth, you're natural born. You're either natural born (citizen at birth) or naturalized (citizen after birth).
Says you.
English Common Law, Blacks Law Dictionary, the US Supreme Court, the Dictionary, and Historical Precedent say that natural born status follows PLACE of birth.
You say otherwise. Um...why should I give a shit what you believe?
