Cruz is a natural born citizen.
The truth is that a mother is an easier proof of lineage than is a father. I believe that “Jewishness” is passed through Mothers and not Fathers.

Yes, but you’re just making that up for your own opinion, it is not an interpretation of any existing law or judicial work.
My post said that what we need is an updated law that more clearly distinguishes ‘natural born citizen’ from ‘citizen by birth’ because the original concern as described in John Jay’s letter to General George Washington was that the president as commander of the army and navy was in a position to become a tyrant, for example today by declaring martial law, and so allegiance and loyalty were paramount in that position. Thus, ‘natural born’ would be an added measure to assure allegiance and loyalty. An updated law or an amendment to existing law can be made retroactive.
We have no concern with Ted Cruz’s allegiance and loyalty but we do with Barack Obama.
