Had a FATHER who was a citizen. (Cruz didn’t).

Given that the stress is on one parent and given today's politically correct climate, and given that there has been no definitive ruling/law on this subject, can there be any doubt that since he has one parent who was a US Citizen that in today's political climate, he would be considered Natural Born?

Well, IMHO, the whole idea about being “natural born” is that you don’t have to stretch things and mince words and do the hokey-pokey to conclude that the person is a citizen.

No possible conflicting allegiances, born in his native country, both parents citizens.

If you have to make all kinds of twists and turns and do all sorts of finagling then seems to me game over, the person IS NOT a “natural born” citizen.

If we rely on “political correctness” or an “evolving Constitution” then we are no better than the other side.

If people don’t like it, they can amend it. But they can’t ignore it.
