Ted Cruz's mother was NOT in the military or working with the U.S. embassy.

And therefore its a mute issue. But if she were in the military or on diplomatic duty, then time previously spent outside of the United States, while in such service would fall under the time window.

You appear confused by the nature of the law. You are reading allowances as requirements.

You have to read the ENTIRE sentence.... and not part of it.

“Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for at least five years (with military and diplomatic service included in this time)”

KEY WORD *WITH* That means IN ADDITION, INCLUDING it does not read “OR”.

Ted Cruz does not fall under this category because his mom was neither in the military or a diplomat.
