He’s too extra-constitutionally inventive. He renounces his Canadian and Cuban citizenship to become a natural born US citizen 40 years after his birth? No, it’s good that you renounce any other citizenships like was required for all new citizens with the oath of citizenship, but that doesn’t make you natural born.

Cruz is compromised on the anchor baby issue because of this.

Back when they presented the Constitution to the people, it wasn’t exactly a known concept. The colonists bought into it and sacrificed for it to be upheld, God bless them, but it wasn’t the sacrosanct thing that it is now for conservatives. There was actually a level above it that the people knew well called “oath” and they wouldn’t constitutionalize these oaths because it would diminish it. Nowadays the oaths are ignored because they aren’t in the Constitution.

“but that doesn’t make you natural born.”

His mom was a US citizen. Stop spouting off about stuff you clearly don’t understand.
