The current understanding isn’t codified.
OK.....fine...Judge Coldheat will codify it.
My decision is as follows.
The intent of the Natural Born language being national security, in that a foreign power may be inclined to exploit our new country, I see no sign of ill intent between a natural born American mother and a Cuban refugee father.
I therefore rule that natural born American status transferred from Mother to son at birth, no matter where the birth occurred.
Thus, Ted Cruz, the defendant in these proceeding, is a natural born American.
