If we follow the Cruz NBC definition we defy the purpose of the clause.
I could donate sperm to a woman in Turkey, who would give birth to an NBC. That child could then pass NBC to his children, in Turkey or Saudi Arabia, or where ever he chooses.
There was a reason for the clause. Electing Cruz violates the purpose, on its face.
Yes, the Founding Fathers wrote about that in the Federalist Papers. Have a nice day.
Violating the constitution is SOP.
But then again, we all remember as kids, our teachers telling us you only need to be born on the planet to become president.
