“If Cruz can be born to an American Mother and a non-American father, outside of the country and not in a soveriegn territory or military base then he is not NBC.”
Got a legal citation for that? I do, and it says he is a natural born citizen:
8 USC § 1401 - Nationals and citizens of United States at birth:
The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:
(d) a person born outside of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is a citizen of the United States who has been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year prior to the birth of such person, and the other of whom is a national, but not a citizen of the United States.
Since you cited a Congressional law this is easy - not a natural citizen.
They depend on positive (vs. natural) law for citizenship.
Does everyone just want to strike the word natural from Article II, Section 1?
1401 describe a ‘born citizen’. That is only half the equation.
8 USC § 1401 - Nationals and citizens of United States at birth:
The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:
(d) a person born outside of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is a citizen of the United States who has been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year prior to the birth of such person, and the other of whom is a national, but not a citizen of the United States.
"In any event, the fact that someone is a natural born citizen pursuant to a statute does not necessarily imply that he or she is such a citizen for Constitutional purposes."

Statutory citizenship does not automatically render one Constitutionally eligible for president.
So you’re saying Obama is too legit to quit?
