He's a natural-born citizen of Canada too.

So, would you vote for Christie over Cruz?

According to the Canadian Definition of Natural Born Citizen, if a Canadian Citizen gives birth to a child while temporarily living abroad, the child is a Natural Born Citizen of Canada.

The Canadian Law echoes English Common Law which was adopted by every State in the Union except Louisiana, which adopted the French Civil Law.

The Colonies were all under the Jurisdiction of England and continued using English Common Law until the laws were replaced on an individual basis following Independence. The English common law provided that The children of citizens living abroad will be considered natural born citizens. This was the understanding of the founders when they used the term in drafting the Constitution.

Under the definition of the term as enunciated in English Common Law, Ted Cruz would be a Natural Born Citizen of the United States.

Thanks for posting that.
