You have to be born on American soil, to parents subject to the jurisdiction of the US government, i.e. American citizens, to be natural born.

So the thousands of military families that had kids overseas had to go thru some sort of naturalization process of their kids? Right.

Well again, that’s dandy that you personally say so.

And you’re entitled to believe that. As a matter of fact, there are no doubt many other people in the country that read the clause the same way.

BUT, the Supreme Court has not. No court anywhere, seemingly has.

As a matter of fact, yes the article and the Harvard Law Review lays out a solid legal case for why Cruz is natural born. They especially do when they reference that a person born outside of the authority and jurisdiction of the British Crown but born to subjects of the British Empire was natural born. It certainly stands to reason that the idea of what the founders considered to be natural born would have been influenced by what the British government considered to be natural born.
