“I think Cruz is an NBC “
Ted Cruz is a naturalized at birth U.S. citizen by the authority of the Immigration and Naturalized Act of 1952. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a naturalized U.S. citizen, and he is not qualified as a natural born citizen to be eligible for POTUS. Ted Cruz is also a naturalized U.S. citizen, therefore he is also not qualified as a natural born citizen to be eligible for POTUS. Furthermore, Ted Cruz would not have acquired U.S. citizenship at birth if he had been born in 1916 under the same conditions. His mother would have lost her U.S. citizenship when she married a husband with a Cuban citizenship. She would have become a Cuban citizen, and Ted Cruz would have been born with Cuban citizenship, not Canadian, British, or U.S. citizenship. If Ted Cruz was born a natural born citizen, that would not have been possible.
I know, WhiskeyX, that there are a lot of people who do not and will not agree with my assessment on Cruz.
I also know that they can present a well reasoned and detailed case for their opinion on the matter.
All I am saying is that for me, Ted Cruz is eligible. I am not going to be the person who says Ted, you can’t run. I believe he is loyal to America, loves America, and was born a citizen by virtue of his mom.
That being said, I would very much appreciate an authority clarifying the matter of NBC once and for all, because I do not find this controversy helpful to me as a voter.
I want to know, and I need to know, that the candidates I am considering are not going to be pulled at some later date in such a way that leaves us as voters with no recourse.
