If an American citizen father’s offspring in a foreign country is an American citizen (don’t you agree?), why is a Cuban citizen father’s offspring in a foreign country not a Cuban citizen?
Kansas, you then posted from Travel.State.Gov: “However, dual nationals owe allegiance to both the United States and the foreign country.” You have just proven the “birther’s” point!
This is the whole purpose of the natural born Citizen clause in the Constitution; to PREVENT allegience to a country outside the united States.
A child born in a country of parents who are its citizens can only be a natural born citizen. Can’t be anything else. NATURAL LAW. (NATURAL BORN CITIZEN)
Once you start adding-in foreign parents or outside the parent’s country, you get into MANMADE laws of citizenship.(CITIZEN).
While they may have equal treatment under the law, one can be President, one can’t.
Correct. A statutory citizen (bestowed by man’s pen) can never be a “natural born” citizen (bestowed by God/nature). Obama, Jindal, Rubio and Cruz are not natural born Citizens. I haven’t checked on the circumstances behind the birth of Gov. Nikki Haley and her parents citizenship status at the time of her birth.
Do a better job at reading comprehension.
I posted the Department of State material KNOWING that one of you radical birther nuts would not interpret it correctly.
Try reading this part:
“Also, a person who is automatically granted another citizenship does not risk losing U.S. citizenship.”
Or this part:
“Intent can be shown by the person's statements or conduct”
Cruz took an oath as an elected official to support the Constitution of the United States.
Cruz has never taken any action to show that he is anything other than a United States Citizen.
YOU ARE SIMPLY WRONG! Cruz was absolutely a United States Citizen from the moment of birth. NOBODY with any sanity can doubt that Cruz is a citizen.
And if Cruz was not a Naturalized Citizen, then Cruz must, by default, be a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.
The “allegiance” must be in the citizens heart, not in the Mother Country's laws.
Cuba would have probably killed Cruz's Father, had he gone back to Cuba. Political asylum exists for a reason. What the other country might want to do does not create “allegiance” -—
WHAT THE INDIVIDUAL DOES SHOWS ALLEGIANCE!
