Being a citizen and being a natural born citizen are two different categories of citizen. By your crieria, the Steaming Pile of illegality in the WH (if his history were true, which it isn’t) would also be eligible to be president, but he isn’t.

Cruz’ father was a Cuban national when he was born, so there are two reasons why he is not a NBC.

I’ve read plenty fo comments from freepmers whose children, or they themselves, were born in foreign countries due to military service. Those born overseas are not NBC and not eligible for presidency, and the State Dept and other fedgove info USED TO STATE THAT. Civics classes used to teach that.

But now, since we are in the middle of a coup by amarxists/mozlem cabal, the “rules” have been changed, and anyone can be president, apparently.

True, but Ted Cruz IS a natural born citizen, and here’s why:

“The Immigration and Nationality Act TITLE lll
Chapter 1 - SEC. 301. [8 U.S.C. 1401]
“The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States AT BIRTH:”

“At Birth” means exactly what it says. The newborn, just by virtue of it’s birth is a Natural Born Citizen. Meaning, to acquire that citizenship, no naturalization process is required.

Next we come to paragraph (d) which states:
(d) a person born outside of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is a citizen of the United States who has been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year prior to the birth of such person, and the other of whom is a national, but not a citizen of the United States;

Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where his parents, Eleanor Darragh and Rafael Cruz, were working in the oil business. His father was a Cuban immigrant to the United States during the Cuban Revolution. His mother was born and reared in Delaware, in a family of Irish and Italian descent. Cruz’s parents, WHO HAD BOTH ATTENDED COLLEGE IN TEXAS, RETURNED THERE WHEN TED WAS ABOUT FOUR YEARS OLD. ~ Wikipedia~

Since both of Cruz’s parents attended college in Texas BEFORE moving to Canada, it is obvious that his mother satisfies the above stated requirements. As such, Ted Cruz IS eligible.”
