Under our Constitution, distinctions between the legal rights of males and females have been erased.
You cannot discriminate between husbands and fathers.
And the governing law when Ted Cruz was born makes no distinction between fathers or mothers. See 14 USC 1401(g).
#1... Article II qualifications were defined in 1787, therefore, any change to Article II qualifications must done by Amendment. The 14th Amendment does not do this.
#2... again, if it takes a “law/statute” to make you a citizen, you are a naturalized citizen. And the governing law at the time Cruz was born defined him as a “nonquota” immigrant.
