Senator Ted Cruz was a U.S. Citizen at birth period.
I’ve cited the law, 8 U.S.C. § 1401(g), which you then cite back claiming it makes Cruz eligible - it’s codified naturalization law!
Cruz is a U.S. Citizen at birth by statute. He is a naturalized citizen.
“Senator Ted Cruz was a U.S. Citizen at birth period”
Yes he is a U.S. Citizen but to be president it takes more than being a U.S. Citizen, it takes a natural born Citizen.
See here the presidential clause:
[No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President]; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
According to the presidential clause, the only time a Citizen could become president was only at the time of the adoption of the Constitution. Ted Cruz doesn’t pass the eligibility test since as you admitted, he is a U.S. Citizen.
Is that by Canadian law or US law or some treaty?
Or does that work just like the child of illegal aliens from Mexico born here is a US citizen or a Mexican citizen? Both? Neither? Who decides?
Natural born citizenship doesn't require any treaty from any nation, since mom, dad and baby are all citizens of the same place, at the time and place where the child is born.
No treaty required. No foreign nations involved. No disagreements from anyone or any nation or ruler. Everyone agrees about that child's citizenship. That's as natural as it gets, and as pure and undiluted as citizenship can get.
That's why the FFs chose it for the POTUS with all of that concentrated power and responsibility over all of US. We all need to agree that the person in that office is one of US and no other.
