That is not correct! The Naturalization Act of 1795 superseded the Naturalization Act of 1790 and eliminated the erroneous phrase "shall be considered as natural born citizens" that had been mistakenly included by the clerk who transcribed it for the First US Congress according to James Madison's own words.

While reading through all the ignorant dreck in this thread, I seem to have come across a pearl. Do you have any references for this bit of information?

This bit is useful, if true.

Seems to be correct check here: http://www.earlyamerica.com/milestone-events/naturalization-act-1795/

Ted Cruz was born in Canada to a foreign born parent which makes him ineligible to be President of the United States!

This paper goes into great depth and detail with all the footnotes in the world regarding the ineligibility of Ted Cruz. Cruz is aware of it himself yet he is attempting to bluster his way through the theft of the Presidency.

It has been said time and again that no court, not even the SCOTUS, has authority to judge the eligibility of a Presidential candidate. Only Congress can judge the eligibility of the President.

AMENDMENT XX

Passed by Congress March 2, 1932. Ratified January 23, 1933.
Note: Article I, section 4, of the Constitution was modified by section 2 of this amendment. In addition, a portion of the 12th amendment was superseded by section 3.
Section 3.
If, at the time fixed for the beginning of the term of the President, the President elect shall have died, the Vice President elect shall become President. If a President shall not have been chosen before the time fixed for the beginning of his term, or if the President elect shall have failed to qualify, then the Vice President elect shall act as President until a President shall have qualified; and the Congress may by law provide for the case wherein neither a President elect nor a Vice President elect shall have qualified, declaring who shall then act as President, or the manner in which one who is to act shall be selected, and such person shall act accordingly until a President or Vice President shall have qualified.

A horrific statutory precedent would be created by the election of Ted Cruz. Suppose Cruz is nominated and elected. A few years from now a Muslim man in Saudi Arabia heavily in the oil industry takes an American wife. They travel back to the middle east and a child is born. By the flawed view that he is considered a Natural Born American, the child, raised by his father as violently anti-American but comes back here, runs a flawless campaign with lies and deceit and is elected. This candidate could not be stopped because of the precedent set by Cruz. According to their arcane rules, if a Islamic is leader of a country it must become an Islamic nation. The destruction of the United States is at hand.

Seriously, I do not think it would get that far. After the election if Ted Cruz won, the Democrat party would sue in Congress to nullify a Cruz election and it would be upheld. The GOPe would have no problem voting to stop Cruz in this way. At the last moment his NWO/CFR appeasement Vice Presidential nominee would become President. What evil webs we weave?

Yet, even before that, a Cruz nominee would face so many vehement attacks from Liberal Democrats through the campaign after the convention that the general election would be a fruitless joke.
