“Mark Levin commented last night on Hannity that Cruz is qualified. That’s good enough for me.”
Mark Levin cited a law that was repealed 5 years later. He was wrong.
Thanks though.
Irrelevant.
The significance of the 1790 law is that it sheds light on what the Founders thought "natural born citizen" meant:
And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond Sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born Citizens: Provided, that the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States
The superseding 1795 act did not mention the term.
From a 2011 report prepared by the Congressional Research Service:
The weight of legal and historical authority indicates that the term “natural born” citizen would mean a person who is entitled to U.S. citizenship “by birth” or “at birth,” either by being born “in” the United States and under its jurisdiction, even those born to alien parents; by being born abroad to U.S. citizen-parents; or by being born in other situations meeting legal requirements for U.S. citizenship “at birth.” Such term, however, would not include a person who was not a U.S. citizen by birth or at birth, and who was thus born an “alien” required to go through the legal process of “naturalization” to become a U.S. citizen.
So, it's obvious: Cruz, Rubio, Jindal, Haley, and, yes, the (two-time) Won are all covered.
