[Just mythoughts]

Sorry but it has not been adjudicated in the Supreme Court, so any discussion of natural born citizen is speculation based on what the founders were influenced by. There is only one time when the term natural born citizen has even appeared in a legal context besides its invocation in the constitution. In that law, only one parent had to be a citizen for a child born abroad to be a NBC. Its absurd to suggest that simply because Cruz meets a certain standard, then anyone also meets that standard. You never studied logic in Germany, did you?

Well if as you claim the Supremes adjudicated 'natural born' citizenship then why is Mitch the Senate refusing the ineligible Crus a Senate resolution, resolving, Cruz is eligible to hold the office of president?

I said the Supreme Court has NOT adjudicated what an NBC is for the purpose of the requirement for Presidential eligibility. And I have seen all of those decisions which involve the 14th amendment, Happersett, Kin Wong Ark, et al. And those refer to a standard that is not in dispute, but they don’t refer to that standard as exclusive. The founders were influenced by many legal references including, but not limited to, Vattel and Blackstone. Determination of their intent is akin to good detective work and for that reason subject to various interpretations. Legal scholars much smarter than you or I have disagreed on this topic, well before Cruz or Obama were even in the public sphere. So it is really a matter that will not be settled on a political discussion forum.
