8 U.S.C. § 1401 The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth: (a) a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof; continuing to: (h) a person born before noon (Eastern Standard Time) May 24, 1934, outside the limits and jurisdiction of the United States of an alien father and a mother who is a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, had resided in the United States. Unless I’m missing something here, it is pretty clear.

USC 1401 says that Cruz is "natural born". One would have to show that the US Constitution contradicts 1401 to make 1401 unconstitutional, and to make Cruz not a NBC.

Show me exactly where in the language of 8 USC 1401 where the specific term ‘natural born’ is used. I await your response. You are free to cut and past it if you like.

Why would you quote statute law regarding a constitutional requirement? Can you just redefine the meaning of a constitutional term by changing statute law?

If so, we can simply write a law that defines "arms" as "Slingshots" and we have created defacto gun control.

Statute law CANNOT change the meaning of words written in the Governing document. To allow such a thing would be a very grave threat to our freedom.
