Trump needs to knock that off. If I’d had my children in France, they would still be US citizens because I am a US citizen. I’m far from a Trumpbot, but this is dirty underwear level.
They would be US citizens but not natural born citizens unless their father was also a US citizen and the site in France was a United States terrority, like an embassy or a military base.
The highest standard was reserved for POTUS.
This my opinion and I have reason to believe - due to what has been recorded as Cruz’s own answer to the question - that this was also Cruz’s opinion:
Cruz: quote Two citizen parents and born on the soil. unquote
The only way for this to be truly settled is for the SCOTUS to rule on it but I agree with the stricter rules and one of the reasons is Barack Obama, supposedly born on the soil of one citizen parent and one foreign father.
I suppose if Cruz gets away with this Obama can reasonably wonder why he got so much grief especially when he produced documentation, however shaky, of being born in the USA.
You have been misinformed and are repeating the misinformation.
“Trump needs to knock that off.”
Trump spoke the plain truth, Ted Cruz is not a natural born citizen of the U.S. He is a naturalized citizen of the U.S. Being a naturalized citizen of the U.S., Ted Cruz is not eligible to be a lawful POTUS.
“If I’d had my children in France, they would still be US citizens because I am a US citizen.”
Such children of yours would probably become U.S. citizens if you and they chose to be so after birth. You and/or your children could choose to not adopt their right to become U.S. citizens naturalized at birth. Children born abroad with a U.S. citizen parent voluntarily choose whether or not they want to acquire U.S. citizenship at birth or after birth. A person born in the jurisdiction of the United States with two U.S. citizens involuntarily acquires U.S. citizenship by birth, because they have no choice in becoming a U.S. citizen. Naturalized U.S. citizens, whether at birth or after birth, must acquire U.S. citizenship by voluntarily acquiring that citizenship.
It should be remembered that your children born in France would have been born without any form of U.S. citizenship at all, naturalized at birth and natural born, through much of U.S. history. Your children born in those years would have had to immigrate and naturalize in the same way as the children of any other foreign born persons with foreign parents.
“I’m far from a Trumpbot, but this is dirty underwear level.”
Is it, when you Trump speaks some truths while you disseminate such false information?
