He’s a citizen at birth by law, which is not the same thing as a natural born citizen. His parents were not serving in the military or diplomatic service, and his father was not even a US citizen.
He’s a good man, a good Senator, but “natural born citizen”, I don’t think so.
Natural Born citizen is not the same as citizen at birth. It’s not even quite the same as citizen at birth due to being born in the United States, via the 14th amendment.
Can’t change the definition just because I like the man, and he is my Senator.
See this however is why I support supporting a VP candidacy for Cruz:
If he’s for some reason ruled ineligible, at least we’ve gone to bat for him in front of the nation and the world.
The GOP will have gone to bat for a minority candidacy. That is bigger than a lot of us can comprehend.
If he’s not ruled ineligible, then he’s Vice President.
Even better. :D
