“This didn’t happen because his citizenship was intact from birth. Ted Cruz ia a natural born American”
No he is not a natural born Citizen. He is a dual Citizen with born allegiances to two sovereignties.
Here is what the principal framer of the 14th Amendment Rep John Bingham stated when defining a natural born Citizen:
“Every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.” (Cong. Globe, 39th, 1st Sess., 1291 (1866))
Ted Cruz born within the allegiance of a foreign sovereignty called Canada to a foreign national father who owed allegiance to foreign sovereignty called Cuba is again, not a natural born Citizen. Ted Cruz is just a statutory Citizen only eligible for the Senate or House of Representatives.
Kook alert.
The Constitution controls this, not the opinion of someone after the fact. Neither their opinion nor yours carries the force of law. The Constitution says "natural born citizen", but it does not define the term. It does not specify how many parents have to be American or if any parents have to be American. There is no definitive ruling on this by SCOTUS that I am aware of. If Cruz runs there is not a chance in hell, IMO, that SCOTUS will issue a ruling that boots a front runner from the race.
Cruz was a U.S. citizen when he was born. He has never naturalized. If he were not a natural born citizen, he would have had to have been made a citizen at some point in the past in order to serve in the Senate. He never did because there is no need.
If we don't get behind this guy and run him we are CRAZY. He is the only viable candidate willing to speak up for sanity and here we are nitpicking this to death.
