I assume you make an exception to your small, archaic principle for Donald J. Trump, son of American husband Fred Trump and his Scottish wife Mary Anne (MacLeod) Trump.

OK. So are you perpetuating a lie, or do you simply not know that Mary Anne MacLeod Trump became a naturalized American citizen in 1942, four years before Donald was born. That means that at the time of his birth, both his parents were American citizens.
You said American. You were ambiguous. Trump falls under your loose definition. I believe that was purposeful to project bias at Cruz.
