“Shall be considered as” So, for purposes of the presidency, based on what you just wrote above,that I have italicized, would you say that Ted Cruz should be considered “as natural born “ or be considered “NOT as natural born”?

Of course he would be numbered among the Natural Born Citizens. The language there is mandatory and in the future perfect tense. Hence all children of citizens born overseas or outside the territories of the United States become Natural Born Citizens at birth. There would be no question about that.

George Washington approved that language one year after the Constitution that he helped draft was ratified by the States.

So, Uncle Chip, do you disagree wth George Washington and the founders who Comprised the First Congress on whether or not someone like Ted Cruz shoul be considered as "Natural Born"?

Uncle Chip, I don't believe you ever answered my question about whether this issue is a deal breaker for you. If the primary comes down to Cruz of Christie are you going to vote? If so, then for whom would you cast your ballot?

So, since they are to be “considered as NBCs”, then for purposes of the presidency, Ted Cruz should be considered as a natural born citizen.

This is different than Obama whose mother might have not fulfilled the residency requirement while Cruz’s mother definitely had.

So are you saying that it is a requirement that a natural born citizen be born abroad???

That is what you are telling all of us -- that a mother must go to a foreign country in order to give birth to a natural born citizen of the country that they left??

That is what you are claiming here, isn't it???

So, Uncle Chip, do you disagree wth George Washington and the founders who Comprised the First Congress on whether or not someone like Ted Cruz shoul be considered as "Natural Born"?

So, P-Marlowe, do you agree with George Washington who Comprised the First Congress that the 1790 Naturalization Act should be revoked and replaced with the 1795 in which there is not reference to natural born citizen???

And save the cheesy lawyer lingo slop. I'm not on the witness stand and you are not Clarence Darrow.
