First error occurs at about 3:00 into the video. The video states that Congress could pass a law that changes the definition and calls that supposition ridiculous. Yet the fact is, Article 1 Section 8 specifically enumerated Congress with the power to do just that. Congress has unrestricted authority over all rules of naturalization.

Second error occurs when the video attempts to hold Vattel as an authority higher than the Constitution in that she is attempting to ignore the above authority granted to Congress. Further, the very first Congress who had many of the same drafters and signers wrote the very first naturalization act of 1790 which was signed by George Washington. In that act, Congress SPECIFICALLY states that those born outside of the boundaries to US parents are US citizen and are natural born citizens. In other words, the framers of the constitution DID NOT REQUIRE being born on US soil to be born a citizen. Further when quoting Vattel, be aware that Vattel did not require the location or jus soli in his definition either.

[agreement 5:40] Ramsey said “... as a natural right, belongs to none, but those that have been born of citizens....” And this is the exact state of Sen Cruz. He inherited his citizenship from his mother at the time of his birth.

Third error is at 6:20 where the speaker states that no act of congress makes the NBC a citizen. This is incorrect. All nations have the organic right as a sovereign nation to define their borders and their citizens. All nations exercise this right via acts of their legislators. The founders knew this and specifically enumerated Congress with the authority over all rules of naturalization. This includes those who are aliens and those who are citizens at birth. Starting in the very first acts of Congress, this authority has been exercised. Those first acts have been repealed and replaced along with subsequent acts till one gets to the current code as expressed in USC Title 8 section 1401 - Nationals and Citizens of United States at birth.

The first general error of this video is the belief that jus sanguinis (right of blood) as the ONLY means of NBC conference. That is NOT the current law. The current law incorporates the 14th amendment which is now part of the Constitution and there is no higher legal authority.

Fourth error is at 9:30 that Marco Rubio has been naturalized. Rubio was a citizen at birth and has never been naturalized.

Fifth error is at 10:20 Sen Cruz's mother was a US Citizen at the time of Sen Cruz's birth. This is a known fact.

Sixth error is at 10:25 in the assertion that only the father's status counts towards inheritance of citizenship or NBC. In the very first naturalization act of 1790, the status of the father only requires prior residence within the US as part of the criteria for NBC. Further, this was met by Sen Cruz's father though the law does not require it for citizenship at birth.

Seventh error at 10:40 the assertion that common law exceeds the Constitution.

Eight error at 11:25 is the assertion that one must renounce citizenship in some other country to be a US citizen. Laws of other nations have no weight on US laws and as such are irrelevant. My citizenship would not change just because some other country asserts that I am a citizen. Some other nation could assert that I am a citizen of that country because of the amount of time that I spent in that country. My status as a citizen and NBC comes from the conditions of my birth and does not come from any other nations laws. Again, those laws are irrelevant to US law. The video is representing how they would like the laws of the US TO BE, not how they are. The genius of the founders is that they made a way for those who want to change this to be able to do so. If you dont like what the 14th amendment says, get enough of your like minded individuals together to change it. Same with the laws of this nation.
