You might be correct. But since we have no legal definition of NATURAL BORN CITIZEN we really don't know. We went through all of this with Obama and lost.

The most strict version of NBC requires two parents born in the USA. Trump doesn't meet that standard. Cruz doesn't either. Trump is closer I will admit but since there is no court ruling on NBC or a definition in the Constitution or by Congressional action the issue is moot. The courts will not take it up.
