What kind of a knot-head are you ?
Do you think for ONE SECOND that the 14th Amendment OF the U.S. Constitution IS NOT a part of the U.S. Constitution, and JUST AS EQUALLY the SUPREME LAW of the land ? ! ? ?

You really ARE DENSE !

I SAY AGAIN:

You could NOT be more WRONG if you tried !


I repost PROOF for those you have intentionally confused.

FACT: Cruz’s father’s Cuban nationality at the time of Cruz’s birth, is irrelevant, according to the law at that time,
just so long as he was a LEGAL Immigrant at the time of Ted Cruz's birth,
AND both of Ted Cruz's parents were legally married to each other.

What are the rules for people born between December 23, 1952 and November 13, 1986?

The 14th Amendment IS a part of the U.S. Constitution and states in SECTION 5.
The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

So, under that power to legislate, Congress legislated and the President signed into law:
When ONE parent was a US citizen and the other a foreign national,
the US citizen parent must have resided in the US for a total of 10 years prior to the birth of the child,
with five of the years after the age of 14.

“What kind of a knot-head are you ?”

Well, genius,, or rather, idiot, the 14th amendment of the Constitution DID NOT abrogate the Constitutional requirements for being president. They are:

1.) Natural born citizen. The 14th amendment establishes rights of citizenship for former slaves (according to the ones who wrote it), and I assume naturalization.

2.) Resident for 14 years.

3.) Thirty-five years of age.

Even Congress acknowledged the “natural born” understanding of the Constitution when they signed a document in 2007-08(?) regarding McCain’s eligibility. McCain was born in Panama of parents who were citizens.

Also, idiot, the Congress and the president only CANNOT amend the Constitution in ANY way. It requires the additional action of the states. The rule you cited pertains to citizenship, not natural born citizenship. And you call me dense.

And by the way, I have never been interested enough in Cruz to check out his status. He is the one enamored with his immigrant status.

In defining what an Article II “natural born Citizen” is, we do not seek to read into the Constitution that which was not intended and written there by the Framers. Despite popular belief, the Fourteenth Amendment does not convey the status of “natural born Citizen” in its text nor in its intent. Some add an implication to the actual wording of the Fourteenth Amendment by equating the amendment’s “citizen” to Article II’s “natural born Citizen.” But nowhere does the 14th Amendment confer “natural born citizen” status. The words simply do not appear there, but some would have us believe they are implied. But the wording of the Amendment is clear in showing that it confers citizenship only and nothing more.

Neither the 14th Amendment nor Wong Kim Ark make one a Natural Born Citizen
