So, that basically means that any American who goes overseas, hooks up or marries someone from another country and gives birth to a child in a third country, that child is eligible to become President. If I understand correctly, Cruz did not even become a citizen of the US until 2011.

I think it’s time to bury the whole concept of natural born because, in effect, it no longer exists.

You don’t understand correctly.

You don't "understand correctly" (Whether honestly or from those that suffer from an the inability of Trumpers to recognize ANYthing that doesn't fit the Trump narrative, I can't say.)

Canada is a DUAL CITIZENSHIP country. Ergo, when he was born, he held DUAL citizenship.

He didn't 'become" a US citizen in 2011 - but gave up his Canadian citizenship.

It's really quite simple, for those who can lay their blinders aside for a moment.

They never define what natural born citizen means!
