So, since they are to be “considered as NBCs”, then for purposes of the presidency, Ted Cruz should be considered as a natural born citizen.
This is different than Obama whose mother might have not fulfilled the residency requirement while Cruz’s mother definitely had.
No. I would have to conceded that if the founders intended to include the children of citizens born abroad as Natual born citizens, then a later residency requirement passed by Congress limiting that right in accordance with a residency requirement would be extra constitutional.
After studying the 1790 Congressional act, I would have to conclude that Obama would qualify as a natural born citizen even if he were born in Kenya.
