In what world do you live in? A naturalized citizen can never be a natural born citizen. If you sift through my posts on this thread, as well as others, you will find many court cases and State Department documents that state that a child born beyond our borders must be naturalized. The ONLY time a document said those born to U.S. citizens across the seas are NBC was the Naturalization Act of 1790 which was repealed in 1795 and the term natural born citizen disappeared forever when speaking of children born outside the jurisdiction of this country. You must be young but I was taught in school when we used to have civics class that to be qualified to run for president you must be born in the U.S. PERIOD. I can provide a link to the textbook if you like.
When the Supreme Court says that those born overseas can only receive citizenship at birth through the process of naturalization, then honest people accept it.
In this day of political correctness and for fear of pissing people off, people willingly forget what is right. People who are not true conservatives are getting sucked in by the New World Order - a group that hates borders and the Constitution of this country. Don’t be one of them.
Nice rant but there was no such thing as political correctness in 1790 when the ORIGINAL Congress exempted children born “beyond the sea or out of the limits of the United States” from needing naturalization and declared them to be “natural born citizens.”
The fact that a later Congress changed the wording is irrelevant to what is clearly the original thinking of the Founders and Framers.
But hey, if you can find any evidence of a Certificate of Naturalization ever being issued to Senator Cruz, I’m willing to change my mind.
Yes, I’d love to see a link to a textbook because in my humble opinion no such statement was ever made in a textbook, but I can be proven wrong if you can find such a statement.
All those who believe Senator Cruz is ineligble need to do is convince a judge or get a bill through Congress which states that a “Citizen of the United States At Birth” is not necessarily synonymous with being a “natural born citizen.”
