OK. I follow that. I am not aware of any law passed by Congress granting him citizenship after he was born.
Cruz is either a NBC or he is a foreigner. He has never been naturalized. Please correct me if I am wrong about his naturalization.
Oh good grief...PLEASE stop posting that unalloyed crap!
You haven’t the vaugest idea what you’re talking about!
Ted Cruz was born outside of the United States to a mother who was a US Citizen. Ted was eligible for citizenship at birth because his mother was a US Citizen and she met the statutes within the Naturalizaton Laws passed by Congress at the time. Ted was able to retain his citizenship because he moved to the US and has been residing within the US since. Hypothetically, If Ted failed to move to the US before a specific age (Can’t recall, and I’m too tired to look it up right now) he would have lost his citizenship as he would have failed to adhere to the requirements with the Naturalization law to maintain his citizenship. Thus he would have to be naturalized as a foreigner.
In the end, Ted only received citizenship through law/statues enacted by Congress and there for is a naturalized citizen albeit at birth, but is not a natural-born citizen.
