Anyone who claims that Mr Cruz is a natural born citizen has read the Constitution (Article 1 section 8), the first acts of congress (Naturalization Act of 1790) and Title 8 section 1401 in it’s entirety. You know, law of the land stuff.
Now your turn to cite the constitution, laws of this land or even court rulings to support your position.
8 U.S.C. § 1401 : US Code - Section 1401:
Nationals and citizens of United States at birth
(g) a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than five years, at least two of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years: Provided, That any periods of honorable service in the Armed Forces of the United States, or periods of employment with the United States Government or with an international organization as that term is defined in section 288 of title 22 by such citizen parent, or any periods during which such citizen parent is physically present abroad as the dependent unmarried son or daughter and a member of the household of a person
(A) honorably serving with the Armed Forces of the United States, or
(B) employed by the United States Government or an international organization as defined in section 288 of title 22, may be included in order to satisfy the physical-presence requirement of this paragraph. This proviso shall be applicable to persons born on or after December 24, 1952, to the same extent as if it had become effective in its present form on that date;
The best explanation of “Natural Born” can be found in post 13. A little common sense goes a long way in coming to the same conclusion however, since the reason for having the natural born citizen clause is to protect the country from infiltration by anyone who might possibly have an allegiance to someone other than the US. You don’t flip a coin with something like that. You don’t say oh maybe this guy is different. You set a black and white rule and you stick by it.
