“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.

Please cite a US Legal source that defines ‘natural born” and a LEGAL definition that defines it in such a way as to exclude anyone born to only 1 US born parent.

Like it or not there is not one which is why we ended up with that POS 0dumbo

I don’t like it anymore than you do BUT there is NO legal definition provided in the Constitution for Natural born citizen that makes it different from citizen at birth.
Yes we all think we know what they meant but thinking it does not get us anywhere is the courts.

It seems silly to have over 300 posts on Sentor Ted Cruz who is BY LAW born a US citizen but who has not even declared he would run for POTUS
He is eligible to run
whether we like it or not
and I did NOT like that vile POS 0dumbo getting away with scamming us
