The report is correct. The problem with Hussein is, if he was born in Kenya and his mother qualified by US laws in effect at that time about residence, but she didn't register the baby as American, then someone faked a Hawaiian birth certificate and he is still a citizen of Kenya.
We know his Social Security card is a fake. Hussein himself is a fake. His whole life is a fake.
How did people get his Social Security number? That is pretty scary that people can get a person’ social security number so easily. I hope mine is not that easily to find. No wonder Identity Theft is so rampant if people can even find the President’s Social Security number.
Per the 1952 INA rules for babies born out-of-country to a citizen mom married to a non citizen dad, the mom had to live in the us for 10 yrs, with 5 of those years past the age of 14.
So minimum age for the mom is 19.
Problem is, 0’s mom was 18 and some months old when 0 was born, not old enough to convey citizenship to 0.
(Then you have the British nationality rules which governed 0’s nationality on account of his dad; gave him British citizenship.)
So 0 isn’t a citizen of the us.
Now look at Cruz, how old was his us citizen mom when he was born?
And how long were his folks living in Canada before he was born?
Looking at his folks marriage certificate will help deduce these.
But if I recall what is on that certificate correctly, cruz’ mom was twentysomething or older when she got married to his dad.
Apply the 1952 rules and we see that she lived 10 years in the us, 5 of them past 14 years old; so she was more than 19 years old when Cruz was born.
And figuring that any later INA rules may have shortened the residency length requirements, then his mom could convey citizenship.
BUT (and there’s the rub)
Look at what the judge said in the court case Minor vs. Happersett: (paraphrased)
“As to natural born citizenship there is no doubt in this case: a baby born in the u.s. to two citizen parents, but there are doubts as to the other cases where one parent isn’t a citizen.”
Interesting that at around 2007 and some time afterward, the links/references to this court case were not accessible in justia.com web site.
What is the “weight of authority” that supports the idea that someone such as Senator Cruz is eligible to “be” President as satisfying the Natural Born Citizen requirement? Having researhed the matter quite extensively, I don’t find that to be so.
