ROFLMAO

come on. it’s not that complicated, is it?

you’re a natural born citizen if there are no alternatives.

cruz was born with the ability to be a US and/or canadian citizen (maybe even british). similar to 0bama, who if born in HI would have been a US citizen and a british citizen.

why was the clause written in by the founders? they stated why... it’s no secret.

their intention was to insure the president would not have split allegiances, at least by birth

it’s an extremely simplistic requirement... and the only single point of failure in the Constitution (IOW, if not obeyed, the Constitution would be in breech... which it is now)

That's obvious nonsense, since it would make a person's NBC status dependent on some other country's laws. Suppose Switzerland passed a law saying that all children of 100% Swiss ancestry born anywhere in the world are entitled to Swiss citizenship. Then you're saying that a child born in Ohio of American citizen parents of Swiss heritage is ineligible to be President? Ridiculous!
