He might have been or he might not have been, I think that is why he didn't make POTUS, there was doubt, the same as with Cruz....

The framers put it so they were ‘naturalized’ citizens, so when their children were born they would be, ‘Natural Born Citizens’, the framers were not born here...they came from England...

The 14th amendment was to give the slaves, after their freedom, ‘naturalized’ citizens so their children born here could be ‘Natural Born Citizens’....born on American Soil...

Also, when a man marries a woman, the woman takes the last name of the man, whether she uses it or not, she still is Mrs. So and So....the children from that marriage takes on the name of the Father, so in order for Cruz to be Cruz, his father would have had to be born on American Soil, to give him that right, it does not come from the mother, it passes from the father...

Cruz is saying he got his citizenship from his mother, then why isn't his last name Darrugh or Wilson? Why is it Cruz? See how that works...he's lying...

It does not matter WHY something was put in the Constitution.

The only thing that counts is what the Constitution SAYS.

Why doesn’t count.

Why means nothing.

No, that’s not how it works.

Parenthood and citizenship are not the same thing.
