it would be my preference that Cruz would honor the original intent of Article II...

And what, exactly, was the "original intent of Article II"? And how did you become aware of it?

That "every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen" as expressed by John Bingham and "every textbook referred to in any court" leading up to 1862 ... his words not mine. Forgive me for not re-writing history to accommodate contemporary personalities.

"And what, exactly, was the "original intent of Article II"? And how did you become aware of it?"

The Supreme Court of the United States has never applied the term “natural born citizen” to any other category than “those born in the country of parents who are citizens thereof”.

"The citizenship of no man could be previous to the declaration of independence, and, as a natural right, belongs to none but those who have been born of citizens since the 4th of July, 1776."....David Ramsay, 1789.
