Marco Rubio is a U.S. citizen by naturalization at birth under the authority of the same U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952 as Ted Cruz, only in an earlier paragraph of that statutory law regarding the birth of a child within the jurisdiction of the United States with foreign parent/s.

I've got the act open in my browser. Sec 301(a), to be precise. Cruz is at 301(a)(7) [next page, 236]. Where is Rubio?

Don't you see the difference? The initial Rubio birth certificate is US. The initial Cruz birth certificate is Canadian. It's where they were born and lived.

I don't know if that makes either one of them Natural Born Citizens or not. The Naturalization Act makes them citizens, but not "natural born".

Can't you acknowledge that (1) the question needs an answer and (2) their situations are different for "natural born" status.
