I’m a United States citizen because my mother was a United States citizen, born in Wilmington, Delaware. And it has been the law since the beginning of the country that the children of American citizens born here or abroad are American citizens by birth

Did anyone ever dispute that

As far as I can recall no one ever did dispute either of those points. So many Freepers would disagree with Cruz. I suspect that many Cruz supporting Freepers would have disagreed with Cruz's simple interpretation of what "natural born" means.

I would not be one of them, because I argued that chlidren of citizens born abroad are "natural born". But there was the whole "Blood AND Soil" crowd, there was the "US Code doesn't let mothers pass on citizenship who are under a certain age" crowd, and a bunch of others.

Perhaps they have all been banned? Or perhaps their detailed parsing of 1800's law dictionaries and the US Code leads them to the belief that Cruz is a citizen?

In the even that Cruz achieves the nomination do people think the Left will challenge him on not being a Natural Born Citizen.

If so, will they manage to advance this argument further than the right was able to on Obama?
