"Natural born" is not defined in the constitution, though it is in English common law, where the term "natural born subject" is found. There are are 2 definitions, jus sanguinis and jus solis.

Cruz qualifies under the first (right of blood, i.e., born of a mother who is a "subject"*)

But not under the second (right of soil, i.e., born within the boundaries of the King's lands).

So…… I think you are going to have a very hard time winning this. Though I'll check back when it comes up in court in 5 years.

“There are are 2 definitions, jus sanguinis and jus solis.

Cruz qualifies under the first (right of blood, i.e., born of a mother who is a “subject”*)

But not under the second (right of soil, i.e., born within the boundaries of the King’s lands).”

But it is ONE OR THE OTHER — not necessarily both.

You are assuming that both are required.

They are not.

EITHER are required (one or the other).
