Sorry sir, you are incorrect. The starting sentance of Section 1401 is: “The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:” A person who is a citizen at birth is a natural born citizen as there is no need to be naturalized.
Subsection G then lists one of the criteria by which a person can qualify to be a US citizen at birth. It reads:
(g) a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than five years, at least two of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years: Provided, That any periods of honorable service in the Armed Forces of the United States, or periods of employment with the United States Government or with an international organization as that term is defined in section 288 of title 22 by such citizen parent, or any periods during which such citizen parent is physically present abroad as the dependent unmarried son or daughter and a member of the household of a person
(A) honorably serving with the Armed Forces of the United States, or
(B) employed by the United States Government or an international organization as defined in section 288 of title 22, may be included in order to satisfy the physical-presence requirement of this paragraph. This proviso shall be applicable to persons born on or after December 24, 1952, to the same extent as if it had become effective in its present form on that date; and
Mr. Cruz’s mother meets the requirements of section G and thus qualifies as a citizen who can impart citizenship to her children. Thus Mr. Cruz was a citizen at his birth and does not require naturalization. Thus he is a natural born citizen.
“A person who is a citizen at birth is a natural born citizen”
That is a lie. Show me the exact term in 8 USC 1401 or anywhere in the 14th Amendment where the term ‘natural born Citizen is used. Just copy and paste it in your answer.
Here is what a ‘natural born Citizen’ is defined by the father of the 14th Amendment, Rep John Bingham, before Congress.
Every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.” (Cong. Globe, 39th, 1st Sess., 1291 (1866))
Rafael Cruz owed allegiance to a foreign sovereignty named Cuba. That negates Ted Cruz from being a true natural born Citizen born within the jurisdiction of the United States.
