You can accept Mark Levin’s word if you think he knows more than the Founding Fathers, but I will accept the word of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and John Jay, the First Chief justice of the Supreme Court who referred to Vattel and his work The Law of Nations for the definition of Natural Born Citizen. Vattel, the premier authority of his day on International Law as well as a Diplomat and a Philosopher was well known to the Founding Fathers who used and studied his expertise, even reflecting him in the Declaration of Independence. According to Vattel, Cruz is not eligible.
“United States Congress, “An act to establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization†(March 26, 1790).
snip
And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond Sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born Citizens:
Provided, that the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States: Provided also, that no person heretofore proscribed by any States, shall be admitted a citizen as aforesaid, except by an Act of the Legislature of the State in which such person was proscribed.”
It doesn’t say that the Father has to be a citizen; it says the father only has to be a resident.
Sen. Cruz’s mother, of course, was born in the U.S.A., so was a Natural Born Citizen which makes Ted Cruz a Natural Born Citizen.
This is what George Washington signed.
