Why is it so hard to understand that if you are born to an American, you are an American citizen from Birth?

No Matter if its Canada, Germany or the Panama Canal Zone.

Nobody is questioning Ted Cruz's citizenship.

What's being questioned is whether he is "natural born" or "naturalised." Common law and US statute say he is naturalised.

No one is questioning that he is an American Citizen, he was also a Canadian citizen up to about 18 months ago. You are aware of that correct?

You see he was also born to a canadian of cuban decent, his dad.

Maybe because it is unadulterated B$. Do you not think the country in which you were born may have something to say about your citizenship?

Why is it so hard to understand that if one parent is an alien, you are simply a citizen by rights of your one citizen parent, but you are NOT a natural born citizen which requires that BOTH parents be citizens? Why was there a CLEAR DISTINCTION in the Constitution between Citizen and Natural Born Citizen? Why bother with the wording Natural Born Citizen if there was no difference?
