no one knows what the actual meaning of “natural born” is until it is tested in the courts.

Oh yeah...ska-rew the communist courts.

It's born of two citizen parents, inside US jurisdiction.

You and I can certainly give our opinions as to what it means, or ought to mean, but they’re not worth a whole lot.

You might not like that, but it’s the truth.

I think the idea that it requires being born on U.S. soil makes some sense, but I don’t know if I buy the idea that parents must *both* be citizens. I think that being born on U.S. soil, legally, is enough. I don’t see any evidence that would indicate otherwise.

As for Ted Cruz, no, he would not qualify under that scenario. But, like I said, until the courts rule, we really don’t know what the actual interpretation will be.
