Senator Cruz was naturalized by Congressional statute. Without that statute, he would not be citizen. A Congressional statute which grants citizenship can only be naturalization, because Article I, section 8 only grants Congress the power to “make rules regarding naturalization.” Congress is granted no power to define who is a citizen other than by an exercise of its power to define the rules of naturalization.

Right. And someone will come along soon and give an equally authoritative sounding explanation on why Cruz is eligible.

Thanks, but I'm gonna fall back on common sense and continue to support Cruz.
