“Pretty much sums it up. Can I direct all the hate I am getting to you?”
Do you understand the Naturalization Act of 1790 says and does in fact mean Ted Cruz is not a natural born citizen of the United States, because the “considered as” phrase is a qualifier and legal term of art indicating the child is not a natural born citizen who must be naturalized under that act to acquire naturalized U.S. citizenship?
“Do you understand the Naturalization Act of 1790 says and does in fact mean Ted Cruz is not a natural born citizen”
That is what I have been saying for about a year now, ever since I learned the circumstances of Cruz’s birth.
I quoted the Act of 1790 for one purpose — it defines natural born citizenship as being born of citizen parents in the United States, and that citizenship descends from the father (at the time) and is therefore locked into the Constitution.
