You just hung yourself with your own argument you arrogant jack ass.....written in a day when women, ie, mothers, had no citizenship standing....which was clearly not the case with Ted Cruz was born. Thus, when women gained a standing, their kids, including Ted, could get citizenship from their mothers as well as their fathers.
And in case you haven’t heard, a lot of court rulings since 1814 are no longer the law of the land.
I won't call you anything of the sort. For all I know....you're probably a very nice person and loved by many.
I believe the statement you had made was this:
but you still havent supported your two parent theory......yet you quote it as if its Biblical...
And I was pointing out that the term was related to the "Law of Nations" and meant born of two parents already citizens of the land.
Judge Livingston (1814) quoted Vattel in a Supreme Court decision and actually included the pertinent phrase in his own words. What more do you want? Your the one that said I hadn't supported my theory. Not only did I support it.....I proved to you that the Lexicon of the late 18th century/early 19th century included exactly what the phrase meant and the Court quoted it publicly.....obliterating any nonsense that it was a mere theory!
