The Cliff Notes version very clearly indicates that a “natural born citizen” is one born in a country whose parents are both citizens of that country. No chance whatsoever of foreign allegiance or sympathy AT ALL.

That last sentence was the defining intent of the term.

As a disclaimer, I do absolutely LOVE Ted Cruz and think him an amazing Senator.

But, we gotta be consistent.

If his mother had returned and he had been born in the US tyhere might be an argument since the presidence has been set by Obama born in the US with a foreign father ...

but Ted has 2 strikes against him...more than even Obama has...

meanwhile any illegal alien anchor baby born in the US with 2 illegal alien parents not under the jurisdiction of..can be president of the United states, a country he/she has no alleigence to but a proven disrespect instead ???

Well, that's the problem with Cliff Notes. A superficial review can lead to poor conclusions. As in this case.

Please provide a citation for that assertion, either from the Constitution itself or from relevant federal law.

If you’re consistent, go to the undisputed intent and please tell me where the problem is...
