I don’t like it anymore than you do BUT there is NO legal definition provided in the Constitution for Natural born citizen that makes it different from citizen at birth.
Yes we all think we know what they meant but thinking it does not get us anywhere is the courts.
It seems silly to have over 300 posts on Sentor Ted Cruz who is BY LAW born a US citizen but who has not even declared he would run for POTUS
He is eligible to run
whether we like it or not
and I did NOT like that vile POS 0dumbo getting away with scamming us
Here is what a ‘natural born Citizen’ is defined by the father of the 14th Amendment, Rep John Bingham, before Congress.
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.” (Cong. Globe, 39th, 1st Sess., 1291 (1866))
Rafael Cruz owed allegiance to a foreign sovereignty named Cuba. That negates Ted Cruz from being a true natural born Citizen born within the jurisdiction of the United States.
Also you must realize that 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”.
