The difference is Obama’s mother was too young to confer citizenship. Cruz’s mother was not too young to confer it. She overlooks this.

“If Ted Cruz is a “natural-born citizen,” eligible to be president, what was all the fuss about Obama being born in Kenya? No one disputed that Obama’s mother was a U.S. citizen.”

Until someone proves different, Obama was born in Hawaii.

Correcto mundo. She needs to go back outside and have another cigarette and whiskey sour. The sunset of her career has arrived, just like Sarah’s.

Nobody argues he is a citizen, they are asking if he was a Natural Born Citizen without being born in America. He blew it when he did not explain it at the debate why he is Natural Born.

Pray America wakes

The difference is Obama's mother was too young to confer citizenship. Cruz's mother was not too young to confer it. She overlooks this.

She also overlooks that Lolo (Obama's step dad) adopted expatriated little Barry from some country (Kenya?) and naturalized him as a citizen of Jakarta. So even if Obama's slut mother was 21 and Barry left her womb into Hawaii he still might not be a citizen and if a citizen, one who was naturalized and not natural born.

You miss the point, the only reason his mother was old enough is that congress passed a law that said she was old enough. If you are a citizen at birth because of a law then you are not natural born.

The difference is that natural born citizens are citizens at birth without the contrivance of congress. Without the law that congress passes saying who could be a citizen and who could not Cruz would not be a citizen, much less a natural born citizen.

I've seen this argument a few times now. What is the legal authority for this?

That's why I don't read her books. She never lets facts get in the way of a good diatribe.

" ..confer citizenship...She overlooks this."

Negative. She correctly points out --->Mostly, the Cruz partisans confuse being born a citizen with being a "natural born citizen." This is constitutional illiteracy.
