I disagree.

The Supreme Court Miller decision was "settled law" for about 70 years, with judges declaring that the right to keep and bear arms was a "collective right" of the organized Militia. This settled law was set straight by the Heller decision.

If the Founders had meant to allow a person who has only one citizen parent to be President, they could easily have said that.

Others have posted on this very thread the statute which discussed the circumstances under which a woman could pass on U.S. citizenship to her child. Statutory arrangements regarding citizenship are proof, as far as I am concerned, that the citizenship in question could never have been considered "natural born".

If the Founders, inclusive, not individually, had meant that to be Natural Born required two citizen parents, they would have written it into either the U.S. Constitution, or U.S. Law.

It is not the U.S. Constitution, it is not in U.S. Law, it has not been affirmed by any U.S. Supreme Court ruling, therefore, legally, Ted Cruz is completely eligible to be President of the United States.
