Mil Reservations are considered as US soil. That is not defined in the Constitution, but is understood.
McLettuce was born in a non-military hospital off-base, but I’m sure you knew that.
If that were true then if a Japanese woman, for example, gave birth on a U.S. military base then her child would be a U.S. citizen. U.S. bases on foreign soil are not U.S. territory. A child born on them gets his or her U.S. citizenship through the parents and not the location.
Don’t mean to burst any bubble, but “understood” = assume and assume will make an ass out of u and me.
Not being any Constitutional authority, I have read lots of what others, who are, have to say regarding NBC and frankly NBC is like a bottomless pit, lots of questions and assumptions, but very few answers.
From those scholars, it sounds like Cruz is NBC simply because of “one US Citizen parent” regardless of birth location.
Until I had read what smarter folks had to say on NBC, I too thought Ted was not eligible. Now that its been explained somewhat, I think he very well could be and don’t see any Constitutional path to prove otherwise. Wish I had saved that info, but it was on FR, somewhere.
Cruz has been studying and arguing the Constitution since he was a kid, if anyone could straighten out our messes from a Constitutional standpoint, he could. I also think the man has enough integrity to not try to trick the NBC issue. That’s why I will support him 100%.
