Exactly, Congress established in 1790 that children of US citizens born outside the US are considered natural born citizens...there were fears that a foreigner (dare I say a modern-day jihadi refugee) might gain control of the US army and take over the country. This was the intent of the founders (not the jihadi part) and makes complete sense.
While Cruz was born in Canada, his mother was a US citizen. Hence, by birth Cruz is considered a natural born citizen...case closed!
Of course, this won’t stop the Left from trying to litigate and gum up the works.
BTW...Grayson is a sad excuse for a US congressman!
This issue is very much in need of resolution. Your use of the qualification of ‘children of US citizens born outside the US’ does not help in establishing Cruz’s eligibility. Cruz’s parentS,ie, the father, were not born in the US and under It’s jurisdiction. I am taking the Constitution as the defining verbiage for POTUSA but can accept that Cruz unlike Obama who has covered up his birth rcords has more natural qualifications.
