The 14th amendment doesn’t give you NBC status, it just means you are a citizen. You fail to post what this statue is. And why it’s OK for one and not the othrr.

My original point stands, the argument was about whether Obama was born in the US, not some statue

I agree.

-- You fail to post what this statue is. --

8 USC 1401(g), for Cruz. Obama, taking his birthpalce as Hawaii, would be 8 USC 1401(a), but that clause only repeats the operable part of the 14th amendment.

-- My original point stands, the argument was about whether Obama was born in the US, not some statue --

There were multiple argument in Obama's case. I'm sure you know that and generally what they were. Roughly:

• not born in the US (fact dispute), therefore not a statutory citizen (correct conclusion given statute at the time)
• NBC under the 14th amendment depends on the father being a citizen too
• a person born a dual citizen isn't NBC
