The foreign-born child of a U.S. citizen mother in 1874 was not a U.S. citizen.
The foreign-born child of a U.S. citizen mother in 1970 may become a U.S. citizen, provided conditions are met.
Exact same circumstances, completely different outcomes.
In 1970 there was a Congressional act which provided the foreign-born children of citizens may become citizens if the terms of the statute are complied with, in 1874 there was not.
To illustrate, a child born to a U.S. citizen mother in 1874 in Oxfordshire, England was not a U.S. citizen. That child is Winston Churchill, he was proclaimed Honorary Citizen of the United States April 9, 1963 (Pub. L. 88-6)
The exact same circumstances as Cruz, the foreign-born child of a U.S. citizen mother, yet Churchill was not a citizen. Why? Because there was no statute to make him one. Mr. Cruz is a naturalized citizen.
Churchill neither lived in nor served in America... if I remember correctly

The foreign-born child of a U.S. citizen mother in 1970 is born a US citizen if she is an adult.
There is no question on that.
Let’s all let the same court that ruled that unborn children are not human beings make the determination as to whether any of these candidates are certified Natural born Citizens.
