“As I understand natural born, neither Obama nor Cruz meet the criteria.. But the constitution is ignored wholesale anymore”
Please provide the passage from the constitution or any statute you believe disqualifies Ted Cruz.
Natural Born Citizen, as I understand it, is that you must be a child of 2 US Citizens, paternity in particular is important as properties and rights are passed through the father...
Cruz nor Obama’s fathers were US Citizens at their birth. It has nothing to do with where you were born.
Natural Born is not Native Born, it has a very specific meaning at the time of its writing.
