This assertion is borne of a misunderstanding of American citizenship law.
It is this: American citizenship law does not now, and has never, recognized another country's citizenship law.
If a person is a U.S. citizen at birth, he is a U.S. citizen. Period. That he might also be a candidate for, say, Indian citizenship is of no moment.
At some future point, under the laws of India, he may opt for Indian citizenship. But, at that point, he loses his U.S. citizenship.
If you are a U.S. citizen at birth, you are a U.S. citizen -- regardless of how many other nationalities and citizenships you might be eligible for.
I said “arguably”. Didn’t say I’d win the argument. :>)
“If you are a U.S. citizen at birth, you are a U.S. citizen — regardless of how many other nationalities and citizenships you might be eligible for.”
You are correct about being a “U.S. citizen at birth” BUT, being a U.S. citizen at birth does not mean that you are Article II eligible to the presidency. For that, you have to ALSO meet the requirements of “natural born Citizen”. Born in the country by two citizen parents.
I CAN’T BELIEVE that anyone can believe that someone BORN in a foreign country, is eligible to be president. This just shows the IGNORANCE of some otherwise intelligent people. The Constitution is clear (having removed “citizen” and replaced it with “natural born Citizen”). The framers were CLEAR about the presidency “devolving to a foreigner”.
Get REAL, Cruz is NOT eligible, there is no doubt on this.
