Cruz is a natural born citizen under U.S. law because his mother was a citizen.
By your reasoning, Canada, Cuba, and the US can extend “Natural Born” status to Cruz.
A human being can only be Natural Born to one Country.
Canada has the strongest claim, followed by Cuba, then USA in third
No. A person can be natural born to many many countries. It all depends on the rules set out by the country. If I’m running a country I could declare all blonds natural born citizens of my country. And then a blond born to American parents in America would be a natural born citizen of both America and Wigitland. Multi-citizenship can happen pretty easily if you have a complicated birthing situation (parents of 2 nationalities born in a 3rd place, throw in some revolutions and some Right to Return it can be a serious soup) or “qualify” under odd laws in other countries.
If one of your parents is American when you’re born you’re American. It’s not tough. The Birthers decided to try to over complicate the situation. But it’s pretty cut and dry. Obie qualifies, and so does Cruz. They might ALSO qualify for other countries, but that doesn’t matter.
