I think Cruz falls into the "eligible" category as do all children of American citizens do if those children happen to be born in a foreign country.

I ONLY know this because there WERE pregnant American women in the KSA who gave birth there too. Their children were considered U.S. citizens.

Of course, maybe the laws have changed.

Citizens, yes. Natural born citizens, no. Statutory citizenship = citizen. Common law citizen = natural born citizen.

Of course he is a citizen. He is not a natural.born citizen which is stipulated in the constitution. That requires both parents citizens and born on US soil. Even MCcAin born in a Panama hospital next to navy base had to have an opinion written and accepted by congress.

If only a one parent citizenship is required then the crown prince of Jordan would qualify as well as any illegitimate child born to a soldier on foreign soil

He can still serve in ghe senate or on the SCOTUS. Why does he insist on serving only as President

Words have meaning.
Natural BORN does not mean without medical assistance as someone tried to argue yesterday
Two US citizen parents on US territory.

There are million of people who qualify. Why choose another one who doesn’t ?
