Which has been shown since to mean citzens in the plural that are so born and not necessarily parents.
From the beginning a father as a US citizen qualified, but a single mother required certain qualifications. And, as I said in a post earlier, at the time of his birth, Cruz’s mother met those qualifications...nannie.
But nice reach...just short in this case.

Jeffie the mother bit for Obama isnt whether of not his mother was married..
Its whether she was old enough to pass on to him her US cxitizenship if he wasnt boen in the US
the mother must be at least 5 years in the us passed the age of 14 meani g she must be at least 19 when the baby is born if he/she is born overseas..
Sinc e Obama is said to have been born on US soil..Hawaii after 1959... that concern is moot...
Meanwhile ted Cruz was not born in the US..
His mother was 19+ so she was able to pass on her American citizenship to him..
But he is not NBC...
His father was not a US citizen when he was born...
If Obama was indeed born in Hawaii, then Ted Cruz has less status for eligibility for POTUS than Obama...
I would be thrilled if Ted had been born in the US because then he would be equal in eligibility with Obama
It seems Obama has set the presdence for one American parent ...even the mother...
However, there is still ther serious problem of those sealed records of Obama’s ...
