So it’s about the Soil....
Even a U.S. base or U.S. Embassy is considered U.S. Soil in a foreign country.
One thing for sure. The Democrats have announced they will go to court over this. I promise you the GOPe is probably help funding it.
Cruz is going to get set up by a shopped Judge if he becomes the nominee. The Establishment will then replace him with Rubio or Jeb at that point.

It’s a sad day on FR when Tribe is held out as an authority.

required that someone actually be born on US soil to be a "natural born" citizen Is Tribe saying that any child of an American ambassador or serviceman or officer who happened to be born overseas was not considered a natural-born American citizen? What a load.

Where were all of these exspurts when Ubama’s bona fides were in question? None of which were ever answered.

He was absolutely eligible under the Naturalization Act of 1790. So clearly the Founders intended that someone who was born in a foreign country to a citizen parent was a Natural Born Citizen.
Tribe knows this too. He's just shilling for Hillary.

Whatâs a ânatural born citizenâ? The Constitution doesnât say, but the Framersâ understanding, combined with statutes enacted by the First Congress, indicate that the phrase means both birth abroad to American parents â in a manner regulated by federal law â and birth within the nationâs territory regardless of parental citizenship. The Supreme Court has confirmed that definition on multiple occasions in various contexts.Thereâs no ideological debate here: Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe and former solicitor general Ted Olson â who were on opposite sides in Bush v. Gore among other cases â co-authored a memorandum in March 2008 detailing the above legal explanation in the context of John McCainâs eligibility.
Yes, Ted Cruz Can be President

There are exceptions for that and it’s written.
Nevertheless, Cruz’s mom was neither an Ambassador, officer or in the Service at the time of his birth.

Democrat Libs are determined to get Trump the GOP nomination, which is curious. Perhaps Hillary and Trump have struck a deal on keeping each other’s secrets...a highly prized New York value among NY pols.

It’s a sad day when a candidate that wants to be seen as “Defender of the Constitution” won’t seek resolution to his own constitutional eligibility issue.

Cruzâs mom was neither an Ambassador, officer or in the Service at the time of his birth. Do you have a cite for that being a stipulation? With a link?

Fair enough, but did ANY Republican leaders make an issue out of Obama’s eligibility?
No.
Democrats aren’t that stupid.

The point is that the definition of natural-born citizen is based on statutory law because it is not defined in the constitution. And Tribe knows that based on the statute that applies to Cruz, he is a natural-born citizen.
