You conveniently forgot that the 1790 Naturalization Act was completely rescinded, and any mention, ever, by Congress, of natural born citizens was replaced by “citizens”.
If Congress had the authority to interpret the Constitution we wouldn’t need a supreme court. If one is a citizen, not natural born, then one is a naturalized citizen, like Cruz, Obama, Rubio, Jindal, Haley, Schwarzenegger, Albright, Brezinski, Chester Arthur, Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, and lots of people who didn’t run, or weren’t considered for candidacy as president.
If Cruz is a naturalized citizen, so is the King of Jordan, whose mother was a U.S. citizen, a truth which probably doesn’t bother Heidi Cruz, on the executive board of the Council on Foreign Relations. Or perhaps we, by the example of the European Union would be better off as members of a North American Union with Canada and Mexico?
Thanks to FR Spaulding, again.
Sorry, your attempt to make a comparison by using the King of Jordan (or Churchill) FAILS as both lost their citizenship when they joined as an officer of a foreign military per USC Title 8 Section 1481.
