In Canada, to a Cuban father Oy vey!

And an American mother. Only takes one US citizen parent to pass on citizenship.

I have a good friend who lives in Romania. He is from Michigan. He and his Romanian wife have three children. The first was born here (US Citizen father, Romanian mother), no naturalization needed. The other two children were both born in Romania (same conditions), no naturalization needed. None of the three children have to be naturalized. They were and are US citizens at birth.

Now, Obama was born to a British citizen and a US underage girl (age of majority in 1961 was 21). Specific laws on the books at the time of his birth (under age, not living in US number of years required under the law), precluded his mother passing on her US citizenship to Obama.

Cruz was born to a US citizen mother, and a Cuban father. Under the law at that time his mother passed on her citizenship to Cruz. No naturalization needed.

You can argue Natural Born Citizen, but you cannot deny his is a US citizen, no matter how much you dislike him.
