The ONLY damn thing “natural born citizen” means is that the person is an American citizen immediately upon their birth. And there is nothing the matter with THAT requirement and much good about it.
No. It actually means the opposite of “Foreign born” . Cruz better find out quick although I think lying to the FEC has him about finished.
Why not settle once and for all, in court?
I can prove you wrong in 20 words or less, and have many times. But your guy would not benefit, so you won’t learn. What if Cruz’s name was Mohammed? And his mother was only born in America to obtain citizenship by Yemeni parents. So, even though she was a U.S. Citizen, and has she given birth to young Mohammed, she no more thought of herself as American as any other Yemeni native. Your plan allows Mohammed to travel back to America, attend Harvard, community organize, and after 14 years run for president. Sorry, the Founders saw Mohammed, and YOU coming a thousand miles away.
That makes every anchor baby and Winston Churchill eligible.
