LOL! I think the Rubio amnesty crap caught Cruz off guard just based on how false it was. This; however, is playing right into Cruz’s hands and I’m sure he saw it coming. The more Trump beats on this, the stupider he looks. Ya’ll really aughta start walking it back yourselves.
The relevant portion says: And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond Sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born Citizens: Provided, that the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States:
At the time of his birth Cruz's father was either a Cuban or a Canadian living in Canada and pursuing Canadian citizenship. No way he had established an intent to be loyal to the USA.
So, by the laws of 1790 and 1795, George Washington would not have considered Cruz eligible for the presidency.
