“He’s not a natural born citizen,” BUT

He “was naturalized at birth.”

He is just “not a natural born citizen” because of his politics.

How about how many of Hillary’s emails were born classified?

No.....

"Natural born" and "naturalized at birth" are not the same thing.

The term "naturalised" indicates a person receiving their citizenship per the uniform rules of naturalisation established by Congress per their constitutional power to do so. It describes a person who does not "naturally" (i.e. natural born) acquire citizenship via natural law (i.e. both parents are citizens, born on US soil via the common law principle of jus soli) but is instead declared by US law to have been extended the rights and privileges of our citizenship. Sometimes this happens to an adult who immigrates here. Sometimes it happens with a child born in circumstances such as Cruz's - but the end result is that BOTH have their citizenship via statute - even if the one has it from birth.

Like it or not, Ted Cruz is not "natural born" as common and natural law describe it. He was "naturalised," which means he is not qualified constitutionally.
