I just checked. Under law at the time Trump’s father married, the US had a “merger of citizenship” provision. Thus, the marriage conveyed citizenship to Trump’s mother, and he’s a natural born citizen....born in the USA to parents who were both citizens at the time.

I never said that Trump was not or is not a Natural Born Citizen. In fact I have said may times that he is.

Notwithstanding that fact, trump also British nationality, due not to the operation of US law, but by the operation of UK law, and does to this very day. He can have his British passport for the asking.

Let me ask you this, do you think the US would allow another country to determine our citizenship requirements? Neither do we have the right to determine who or how Britain considers its nationals.

And, if Trump can be a natural born citizen of the United States and also simultaneously hold British nationality, why do you guys make such a big deal out of Cruz's former dual nationality? Isn't that just a wee bit hypocritical?
