> It is not necessary to go through a procedure to be naturalized.
That’s right. A procedure is not required any more than a declaration of intent, swearing an oath, or any other condition precedent or subsequent is required.
Those who insist that a procedure is required might want to consider that the procedure required by Pub. L. 82-414 § 301(b) was for the person “to come to the United States prior to attaining the age of twenty-three and to remain there for five years”.
Cruz thinks himself clever, he avoids the word “procedure” and instead uses “proceeding”.
The presence or absence of any procedure, proceeding, oaths, or any other requirement of statute is not the factor which determines naturalization, it is the reliance on statute which indicates naturalization.
I know you know all this. I was just following on to your comment.
do you know if these court cases for Cruz’s eligibility... did the judges rule that Cruz was eligible to be on the state ballot, or that he was eligible to be President?
because there is a difference... kinda curious about that
