Give it up Bucky.
That is the very foundational concept of “natural born.”
Natural born means that the citizenship is a natural fact independent of place of birth.

>> “I think the issue is whether or not (both of) Ted’s parents were US Citizens at the time of his birth.” <<

That wasn’t even the issue for Obama.
You’re making stuff up.

No premise in law is left in question for SCOTUS to rule.
That would be legislation by the bench.
The court is not required to weigh in on anything, and congress has the power to limit court jurisdiction.
.
You’re just brimming full of manure today, aren’t you!

How can you keep making up false facts?
You’d make a great gopher for Pelousey.
Horsesh*t. Cruz's citizenship is granted by Congress under 8 U.S. Code § 1401. It is not granted by the Constitution.
Yes. She would be a U.S. citizen unless she formally renounced her citizenship. She didn’t as I understand it.
Where did he say that?
Ted’s mother was born an American an citizen, has remained an American citizen all her life, was an America citizen when Ted Cruz was born. That’s all that matters.
Oh for pity’s sake. Trump simply answers a reporter’s question—and for that matter, in a manner that is almost sleepwalking compared to Trump’s usual intensity—and suddenly you’re turning this into a premeditated attack on St. Cruz?
It’s one thing if you don’t like what Trump said. It’s another thing if you don’t like Trump either. But it’s far removed from either of those if you start seeing conspiracies under every bush against your candidate.
“Minors do not automatically confer citizenship on their children.”
Where do the statutes state a minimum age for a mother that is relevant to her child’s citizenship?
.
In all things legal, minors can do nothing.
That is the meaning of minor.
.
Nice try at trolling again, but Cruz has no sealed records.
And wipe that goo off your chin.
If we lived in a sane world, there would be no issue.
But because the media is desperate to try to drive a wedge between Cruz's supporters and Trump's supporters, AND to ruin Cruz's political career, it is suddenly The Most Important Issue In The World.
“In all things legal, minors can do nothing.”
Where do the statutes relevant to Cruz’s situation say “minor”?
I assure you that dual citizenship between Canada and USA is real. My mother and father were posted to Washington during WW2. My sister was born in Bethesda. She had dual citizenship until she voted in Canada when she turned 21. That CANCELLED the US citizenship.
She had legal advice on this choice.
Of course it is. Why do you think Trump raised it to begin with?
He did not, it was the Washington Compost who did.
And Trump ran with it. He's done it in the past and he'll keep on doing it so long as he thinks he can get political advantage out of it over his closest rival. Why else would he do it?
Now, I know, that you know better than that. I know that you've done the research and read the SCOTUS decisions just as I have. You know very well that we don't have a ruling on citizens at birth being the equivalent of an NBC. We have conjecture and speculation. Both sides of the NBC debate readily admit that.
.
You’re asking for something that we do not need.
There is no question to be answered.
Congress provided as authorized in the constitution.
Congress has the power to limit SCOTUS’ ability to hear such cases.
You are attempting to insert the court where it does not belong. (as in its recent folly on queer marriage)
