Here are the opinions I have heard on the matter:

1. Born in the US, you are automatically a US citizen, except in very rare cases. IE, a child to diplomats and borne on embassy grounds.

2. Some say that both parent must be Americans at the time of the Child’s birth.

3. Some say that as long as you never had to be naturalized to become a citizen, you are a natural born citizen. I believe this is the case with Cruz.

If we have a lawyer out there who can provide an opinion, I would love to hear it.

Thanks for that moment of clarity.

I was just summarizing what I heard/read. Some of those statements come from people claiming to be lawyers or researchers. Like I said, I don’t know and was throwing it out there for a response.
