You're full of it. My son and daughter were born in Germany in an American Hospital. They were natural born American citizen. Otherwise they would not have received a birth certificate from the American Consulate in Munich. I was a German citizen at the time. It says Parent in the constitution which means either the father or the mother.

On what concerns McCain is that both his parents were American Citizen and the place he was born was under American jurisdiction, which made it American ground. The same as the hospital my son and my daughter were born. As it was for thousands of children born to American soldiers who were stationed in the area.

You are ignoring that some of John Jay's children were born in France or Spain when he was Ambassador there and all children born to Ambassadors are citizens of the countries they represent, not the country they were born in.

Read the Constitution again, you have it wrong.
The part after the first comma exempted themselves because they knew there could not be any natural born citizens for 35 years.

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

McCain was born in the country of Panama. The Senate Resolution specifically cites his TWO citizen parents.
It still did not make him a natural born citizen, it was just a non-binding assertion by the Senate.

Your kids are citizens because you applied for recognition.
They are not natural born citizens.
When did Ted Cruz or his parents apply?
