Under your logic, every child born overseas to a hooker and a American is a us citizen, fit to be president of the US. Vietnam and Thailand would be full of US citizens then. Obviously there is a process to citizenship and it isn’t simply because of one US parent.

Now, that’s an ugly response. Being born out of wedlock throws tremendous confusion on this debate. I think that such people would find it very difficult to prove they were children of an American father since a prostitute has sex with anybody and everybody they can. I think you’re creating a situation that’s very unlikely. That said, a court ruling is likely going to be necessary to decide this case for Cruz. I just believe that in his case, he’s clearly a natural born American citizen.
How would you feel if, through no fault of yours, you were born abroad to one or two American parents and live your whole life here and then be told you’re a second class citizen? Take Bruce Willis for instance. He was born in Germany to an American father and German mother, yet I don’t see anyone saying he isn’t American.
