I am starting to think that Cruz is not natural born. Of course he’s a citizen but not by birth on American soil (Jus soli ). His citizenship is conferred by Congress (law).
NATURALIZED CITIZEN
One who, being born an alien, has lawfully become a citizen of the United States Under the constitution and laws.
He has all the rights of a natural born citizen, except that of being eligible as president or vice-president of the United States. In foreign countries he has a right to be treated as such, and will be so considered even in the country of his birth, at least for most purpose
I am starting to think that Cruz is not natural born.

I’m beginning to think that brain death is spreading amongst the Trump Cultists of Personality. Ted Cruz was BORN an American citizen because he met the requirements of being an American citizen immediately upon his natural birth.
“One who, being born an alien,”......
I imagine that you might have a problem with the word
“alien” as it may apply to Cruz. Cruz and his people would
claim that word is inappropriate because he was born a
US citizen, not an alien.
“I am starting to think that Cruz is not natural born. Of course he’s a citizen but not by birth on American soil (Jus soli ). His citizenship is conferred by Congress (law).”
And you get your belief from where? Not the Constitution, which has no jus soli requirement.
At the time the Constitution and immigration act of 1790 were penned, there were people who lived in the U.S. at the time of the founding, there were immigrants who required naturalization, and there was everyone else.
If Cruz was born to an American mother or father he had citizenship at birth. He was never naturalized. Same with McCain and Doh’bama and a number of others.
