"It is an established maxim that birth is a criterion of allegiance."

So, Cruz's allegiance is to Canada and Juan McLame's allegiance is to Panama? Got it. Thanks.

I guess that means James Madison won't be voting for Ted Cruz for POTUS and that Juan McLame also wasn't eligible and didn't get his vote either.

James Madison was in Congress, representing the 5th district of Virginia when the Naturalization Act of 1790 was passed which said: “the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born citizens.”

And jumping ahead 223 years, current U.S. law states that a person born overseas to one American parent is a Citizen of the United States At Birth if the American citizen parent meets certain residency requirements which Senator Cruz’s Delaware born mother does meet.
