I hate to burst your bubble but Ted Cruz was born to an American citizen living temporarily in Canada. He’s a fully qualified natural born American citizen! Hope you don’t intend t be a problem child.
Go, Ted, GO!!

So then what your saying is that Øbama could have been born on Uranus but because only his was mother an American citizen nothing else mattered. So then why did you let all the Birther stuff run rampant for years?
BTW, McCain was not born in the PCZ he was born at the public hospital in Colon about a mile from the Zone. The Navy hospital had not been built yet.
sorry Jim. if someone is born in another country, they are a citizen of that country first, then whatever citizenship’s that may be conveyed by the parents second.
the fact that his mother was temporarily in Canada at the time is irrelevant. the link to US citizenship is by her and her alone. she was a US citizen for more then 5 yrs passed her 14th birthday, therefore she could transfer citizenship. but the moment he was born, TCruz became a canadian citizen and a US citizen. he may also be a cuban citizen as his father was a cuban at the time of his birth.
realize, the point of the clause was to insure no foreign royalty type could come over, have a kid (anchor baby), and then have that kid grow up to be the king of their country as well as potentially president of ours.
that was the whole point.
this is the same problem 0bama has/had in 2008 and 2012
0bama’s father was kenyan. at birth, this conveyed british citizenship under the ‘by descent’ concept.
0bama’s mother was 18 when he was born. she was ineligible to pass along citizenship as she was not living in the US for 5 yrs after her 14th birthday.
his only ‘solid’ grasp to citizenship at all comes from the claim he was born on the soil in hawaii. this has since been brought into question with a serious lack of credible proof... but many forged documents.
keep in mind, this is just for citizenship. this does not address his natural born citizenship status.
0bama cannot be a NBC as he is also british by decent. like myself.
