“Both were passed by congress the 1952 act did not require the father to be a citizen.”
Can you not understand? Congress can control NATURALIZATION. Naturalization does not change or control Constitutional mandates. In fact, the Supreme Court dropped the part requiring the father to be a citizen around 1930. But it was for purposes of citizenship, not natural born citizenship. Congress can not confer natural born citizenship unless it changes the Constitution.
TEG act defines Cruz as a citizen not a naturalized citizen.
You choose to not understand.
