Your analysis could not be more wrong. You are trying to use a law of naturalization to confer natural born citizenship upon a child born abroad, which is total legal nonsense. Natural born citizenship is determined by natural law, and natural law is the antithesis of statutory law and the antithesis of legislative acts of naturalization. Furthermore, the Congress is a legislative body, and legislative bodies have no jurisdiction over natural law or natural born citizenship. Natural law is only in the jurisdiction of the trier of fact in a court of law and in accordance with the precedents of common law. You are in effect attempting to equate the legal fiction of statutory law granting an adoptive mother the custody of the child of a natural birth mother and then falsely describing the adoptive mother as the natural mother of the adopted child. Likewise with a child born abroad in the jurisdiction of a foreign sovereign, the United States adopts the foreign born child as a citizen of the United States under the authority of a statutory law of naturalization which allows a U.S. citizen mother to authorize the adoption of U.S. citizenship at birth. The fact that the adoption of a child or the adoption of U.S. citizenship at birth does not change the fact it is in fact an adoption of motherhood and an adoption of citizenship rather than natural motherhood or natural born citizenship. The legal fiction of statutory naturalization law with naturalized citizenship at birth can in no way be actual citizenship by birth in the allegiance of the father’s and mother’s sovereign.

WhiskeyX your analysis could not be more convoluted and less in keeping with the facts of the law and the facts of Cruz’s Natural Born Citizenship. The information I posted above, while long, is crystal clear. Cruz is a Natural Born Citizen.
