I am not a lawyer. I just know from my youth that I was not a natural born US citizen. It was what it was...

Trump forced the Obama crew to produce a US born birth certificate for Obama... and people think a Canadian birth certificate for Cruz makes him eligible.

Cruz ought to be ashamed to make such mockery of the Constitution.

Neither am I, but I have had a year of Contract and Constitutional law. So I know how to read a statute and a court decision. She is using "citizen at birth" from a statute and conflating it into meaning natural born. Citizenship abroad to a child born of an American mother is ONLY granted if the mother meets certain requirements enacted by Congress. If she doesn't, the child is not granted citizenship. If he was a natural born citizen at birth, there would be no need to place any restrictions on the mother in granting citizenship to the child. He would automatically have it no matter the circumstances of the mother.
