by your reasoning, any citizenship you are born with makes you a natural born citizen of that country.
for myself, i would therefore be a NBC of the US and Britain.
for TCruz, he would be a NBC of the US, Cuba, Canada and possibly Britain.
if you logic held, then a person could be a natural born citizen from multiple countries... which flies in the face of reason when you consider the Founders chose the phrase to insure against split allegiances, at least by birth.
it would also contradict the definition of a natural born citizen as described in 1758 in the ‘Law of Nations’, a text well known to the Founders.
sorry, it’s just not feasible
No. I am saying that Congress can only define the terms of naturalization. If someone is declared to be a citizen at birth by law, they would not be an NBC.
