Yes, there is no doubt that Cruz was a citizen at birth.
It’s also unwise of us to think that in considering the laws they’ve written over the years. that all of these Congresses didn’t bother to research, to compare, and to debate. It would also be unwise not to acknowledge that ever since the first Congress the laws are remarkably similar regarding the children born overseas to US parents.
Yes, there is no doubt that Cruz was a citizen at birth.True that, Cruz was a citizen of Canada of the USA and possibly of Cuba at birth, thus he was a born citizen, but the Constitution requires that he be more than a mere born citizen.
To become president, he must not only be a born citizen, he must meet the more restrictive qualifier of being a natural born Citizen. Obviously the two are not the same because the founders would not have added a totally meaningless and redundant word to the phrase. They would have simply left out the adjective "natural" if it did not further define and restrict the requirement of merely being born a citizen.
Of course, if Cruz is our standard bearer, I am voting for him, but I fear that the dems will wait until it is too late to field another candidate, then try to DQ Cruz because he was foreign born. I hope, if he indeed runs, that he has the good sense to seek a court ruling on his eligibility very early on.
