I will explain again. There are several wrong ideas about who is a natural born citizen. There are posters on this forum who have said to be naural born citizen, the person must be born in this country to two parents who were born in this country. That is wrong but it is said by numerous people across the country. That is the reason Cruz brought that one up - to show using that criteria, Trump would not be eligible as his mother was not born in this country. He was pointing out to Trump not to get caught up in these wrong headed ideas about who is a nautral born citizen.


It’s not necessary to be condescending. I made a simple statement characterizing Cruz’s comments as being disingenuous. I will elaborate. Cruz made the statement about Trumps mother not to clarify, but to mask his own citizenship issue. He believes that the electorate is so stupid, that he can tell them anything, and they will believe it. He is a fast talking used car salesman. When the prospective buyer wants to look under the hood, Cruz wants to open the trunk. A smart buyer will walk away..I certainly have.

You are correct!

Even IF one is born in a foreign country, IF both parents are American Citizens ( either NBC or Naturalized ), at the time of the child's birth, said child is a NBC ! That IS the law!

More than that - Mr. Trump’s mother was a naturalized U.S. citizen before Donald was born ... So Senator Cruz was dead wrong in his presumption.

This is a salient point that I gleaned from Cruz’s “performance” last night. Cruz made the statement about Trumps mother not to clarify, or honestly answer the question, but to mask his own citizenship issue. He believes that the electorate is so stupid, that he can tell them anything, and they will believe it. He is a fast talking used car salesman. When the prospective buyer wants to look under the hood, Cruz wants to open the trunk. A smart buyer will walk away..I certainly have.
