If 1790 act is definition for natural born, why didn’t Cruz cite that as making him natural born, when asked specifically in the last debate. And why does the Constitutional requirement to hold the office, used the words ‘natural born’ .... Why does it not say eligibility requirements under the 1790 act? There is a difference in natural born and naturalized citizen... Both parents must be US citizens to ‘birth’ a natural born citizen. Cruz’s father was not an US citizen when Cruz was born in Canada...
I don't know about the debate, but he has definitely cited the 1790 Act in his defense.
And why does the Constitutional requirement to hold the office, used the words ‘natural born’ .... Why does it not say eligibility requirements under the 1790 act?
LOL! The Constitution came first. Then came the 1790 Act.

The difference turns on whether or not a person is a citizen by birth. Ted Cruz is a citizen by birth. Henry Kissinger is a perfectly fine American, but not a citizen by birth. Ted is qualified. Henry is not. As is obvious to all who do not have an axe to grind!
