Not anymore.
Natural born citizens are naturally citizens because they cannot be anything else.
Citizens who are something else are not natural born citizens.
Some people think Cruz is *not* a “natural born Citizen,” and others think that Cruz *is* a “natural born Citizen.” Different people have different strongly held beliefs.
I’m convinced that he is. This explanation seems sound:
If Cruz is now a citizen of the US, and he was not a natural born citizen of the US, then when specifically was his natural-ization proceeding? If he never had one, then he is either not currently a natural born US citizen, or he has always been one.
In the end, it may take the US Supreme Court to define the term “natural born Citizen,” as it pertains to Ted Cruz.
