You will also want to know on what date Eleanor was born because the applicable mother only statute turns on the number of years after age 14 his mother had her permanent residence in the US before he was born.

She would have been 35 when he was born.

As for eligibility to be president, Cruz falls into the same category as McCain. Both were born citizens because of their parentage. And being entitled to citizenship by reason of birth, as opposed to naturalization, is all natural-born means.

Constitutional Lawyers all know that the test of Natural Born Citizenship is place of birth

Where is that written? Military brats born abroad are not eligible? That would be laughed out of court!

According to a Congressional Research Service report:

The weight of legal and historical authority indicates that the term “natural born” citizen would mean a person who is entitled to U.S. citizenship “by birth” or “at birth,” either by being born “in” the United States and under its jurisdiction, even those born to alien parents; by being born abroad to U.S. citizen-parents; or by being born in other situations meeting legal requirements for U.S. citizenship “at birth.” Such term, however, would not include a person who was not a U.S.citizen by birth or at birth, and who was thus born an “alien” required to go through the legal process of “naturalization” to become a U.S. citizen.

you can wish you could prove the place of birth of the current occupant of the White House because he too was born outside the US.

Little Barry Bastard's place of birth is the least of the reasons he should not be President.
