My youngest was born in a Canadian Hospital in 1971. Both of us (her parents) lived just across the border in the USA.
We were told that even though she was an American citizen from birth, as we were “natural born American citizens”, that she would not be eligible to run for President of the USA.
What has changed since 1971? How can my daughter not be a “natural born citizen” since she was born in Ontario, and Cruz be eligible when one parent was a Cuban, and one an American living in Canada at the time.
We were not living in Canada when out daughter was born, and I was only in Canada for her birth and the next day in the hospital. My husband went home to our house just across the border every night.
These things really annoy me, and I want to know what is fact vs what is propaganda.
This whole “natural born” vs. “native born” argument needs settled, and needs a court decision now. So fed up with all the arguments, and some so unnecessarily hostile. Cruz, put up or shut up. His own college teachers say it is not settled law...so puleeeeze get the recommended declaratory relief from the courts. It certainly looks like Cruz, who knows the Constitution inside out, is avoiding the issue because he fears a court ruling will find him ineligible. He needs to man up and put all our fears to rest..
Sounds to me like whoever told you that was full of crap.
