I think it’s hilarious you somehow hold all the following, and contradictory positions.
1. Cruz is a natural born citizen and eligible
2. Obama is not a natural born citizen and eligible
3. Birthright citizenship does not exist.
Please explain to me how all three can be true at the same time. It’s impossible.
Birthright citizenship does exist. Under the current Constitution and federal law, those born in the U.S. to U.S. citizen parents or aliens permanently domiciled in the U.S. have a claim to birthright citizenship though that does not necessarily make the latter natural born citizens for Constitutional purposes.
Similarly, one born abroad to U.S. citizen parents may be defined as natural born citizens by statute but that does not necessarily imply that they are natural born citizens for Constitutional purposes.
Quoting the U.S. Department of State:
"In any event, the fact that someone is a natural born citizen pursuant to a statute does not necessarily imply that he or she is such a citizen for Constitutional purposes."http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/86757.pdf
