Excellent points. It’s amazing he’s never even asked about it. Something along the lines of, “Senator Cruz, Governor LePage has two daughters born in the same circumstances as you were—to an American parent in Canada. He says they had to be naturalized, in order to be US citizens. Why wasn’t that your situation as well— and what proof do you have that it wasn’t?”
But he doesn’t even get asked. (At least not now. If he goes anywhere in the election cycle, the Dems will never stop asking him.)
Going back to the original intent of the Constitution, I would think that the governor's daughters would be MORE likely to be born US citizens since their FATHER is the US citizen. Never would have thought only the MOTHER could confer citizenship.
