Actually I need to apologize. I had my dates screwed up and apparently Ted Cruz’s parents were living in Canada at the time Ted Cruz had been conceived. However I am busy researching the motel records in Fargo to see if his parents had crossed the border for some midnight basketball in March of 1970. It is also possible that they were holed up in a Motel in Ft. Lauderdale with all the other Canuck Snow Birds.

I am also researching to determine if any of the cement under the foundation of the Cruz home in Calgary was imported from the Portland Cement factory in the US. I am certain that if the concrete under the Cruz bedroom was imported from the United States that a strong argument could be made that Cruz was conceived on US Soil.

At any rate regardless of where he was conceived he would still be a Natural Born Citizen because his mother was a US Citizen both at the time of conception and the time of birth.

It is interesting to note that the Naturalization Act of 1790, written by the same people who ratified the Constitution and signed into law by none other than George Washington, defined the children of American citizens born abroad as Natual Born Citizens. Clearly the founders, including George Washington, intended that Ted Cruz would be considered a Natural Born Citizen.

But I guess some people today know more about the NBC clause than the first Congress and George Washington.

but the logic was irrefutable......

You're barking up the wrong tree, it's all about natural child birth, those who have had Caesarean sections are not eligible. The Constitution says "Natural born", and nothing about cement......

I apologize for my harsh and rude language, it was not excusable.

I let my ill temper get away with me.

(But you’re still wrong!)
