"It seems to me (simple guy that I am) that there are only two ways to become a citizen. One is through “naturalization” and the other is to be born a citizen. Anyone accepted as a citizen without “naturalization” is natural born like Senator Cruz who serves in the Senate (you have to be a citizen for that) but has not been “naturalized.” QED - He’s a “natural born citizen” and clearly eligible for the Presidency (he’s over 35, isn’t he?). Why/how can it be any more complicated than this?"

It can't be, and it's not.

Anyone who was a citizen at birth is a natural born citizen. Anyone who was naturalized is not.

A lot of people are trying to make it more complicated, but the Constitution isn't on their side.

This is ludicrous. Cruz’s mother is an NBC. Cruz is.. Dershowitz is right...
