Cruz, March 23: The facts are clear. I was born in Calgary. My parents — as a legal matter, my mother is an American citizen by birth. And it’s been federal law for over two centuries that the child of an American citizen born abroad is a citizen by birth, a natural born citizen.
he is incorrect.
it’s been federal law that a child born overseas of at least one American citizen parent is an American citizen. yes. but that’s not the same as natural born, as the child is also a citizen of the other country.
you’ll excuse me if i don’t take his word for it... as he has an obvious conflict of interest
