Exactly right. You are a citizen at the moment of birth, i.e. “natural born”, or made as if natural, i.e. “naturalized.”
The law specifies certain conditions under which a person is a citizen at the moment of birth, i.e. “natural born.” There are multiple ways to be natural born if not physically born within the 50 United States.
Cruz’s mother’s status clearly falls under that law, as did McCain’s parentage (He was born in the Panama Canal Zone) Romney’s (He was born in Mexico) and even Barry Goldwater (He was born in the Arizona Territory.)
Donald, run on the issues, not on this BS. Trump is a fool for having raised the issue.
Mitt Romney was born in Michigan, not Mexico. Both of his parents were American citizens. His father, however, was born in Mexico of American parents. Barry Goldwater was born on American soil, albeit a territory, not yet a state. McCain was born on an American military base where his father was active duty military. Each of these men are American citizens at birth, born of two citizen parents. McCain and Goldwater, as determined by congress, did meet the requirement of essentially being born on American soil.

The only exception is being born outside CONUS to “Two citizen parents”..Cruz had one...so did Buckwheat.
Or semiliterate Freepers are fools for insinuating answering a reporter’s direct question is “raising an issue.”
