Sadly, many on the “right” parrot the leftist talking points on this issue. Ponder this: If my pregnant American wife (even if I were not a U.S. citizen) gives birth while we’re on vacation or traveling through Europe is my child not an American? If not then show me the statute or section of the Constitution thats supports your case.

'Leftist' talking points? This was the case conservatives were pushing against obama, the Kenyan, for the last 7 years.

NO, the issue with O, is a law saying that a parent could only confer citizenship to a child if they had lived continuously in the U.S. for 14 years before the age of 18. O’s mom had not.

I should also have added, if it could be established that O was not born in U.S. that statute would apply.

So you see both the cases regarding Obama and Cruz equivalently? If so, why?

“This was the case conservatives were pushing against obama, the Kenyan, for the last 7 years.”

Only because his mother was too young to confer citizenship to a child born abroad, under the law at the time, when she gave birth. Cruz’ mother does not have that issue.
