Sorry, I guess I was snoozing when it was decided the POTUS can be someone born out of the country to parents that are not both US citizens at the time of birth.

Can someone gently steer me to the change in the law that permits this previously illegal practice?

After all, I am a US citizen who was born in Canada to an American father and a Canadian mother (who became an American after my birth). I am naturalized (and I do have papers) so if Ted Cruz (regardless of his unquestioned good qualities) can be POTUS then so can I!! True?

Yes you can. You were Born an American Citizen.

Now, please Post a link to the “Law” that says you can’t.

Reposting for clarification. You say you were Naturalized?

Your Father, being an American Citizen, automatically makes you an American Citizen as well, no matter where you were born.

My Wife’s Stepbrother had two Children who were born outside the United States, both are U.S. Citizens.

If I am mistaken, please correct my assessment.

Free Republic doesn’t like the argument that Cruz’ bona fides are sketchy. I will say again... Can we not find one person in the country who is a natural born citizen to run for president? Why is this a challenge?

Please provide the relevant sections of the U.S. Constitution that clearly and unambiguously define "Natural Born" as requiring two U.S. Citizens at birth.

Lacking that, Please provide the relevant sections of U.S. Federal Law that clearly and unambiguously define "Natural Born" as requiring two U.S. Citizens at birth.

Lacking that, Please provide the relevant rulings of the U.S. Supreme Court that clearly and unambiguously define "Natural Born" as requiring two U.S. Citizens at birth.

You won't because you can't because they don't exist anywhere except in your mind and in sources that are not legal or constitutional in nature.
