5 times? When was the last one?
From what I can tell, the Court has stated on several occasions that the Constitution does NOT define “natural born citizen.” Further, their rulings have been affirmative with respects to everyone born to 2 citizens on this soil. In a quick perusal, none of them specifically ruled OUT someone in Cruz’s situation. These are two different situations.
Moreover, these rulings were last made in 1898, AND, more to the point, had nothing to do with the issue at hand here, and therefore, were all very narrow rulings that cannot be extrapolated to speak to Cruz’ situation.
