There is over 100 years of accepted definition for natural born citizen. Cruz meets that parameter.
A citizen of the United States is either a naturalized citizen or natural born, there is no 3rd option. Cruz is not a naturalized citizen because he is by definition a natural born citizen.
His mother as a citizen does have to meet certain basic requirements for TC to be considered an American citizen which she did/does.
A few lower courts might play politics with this early on but once it moves up to any serious judiciation, Liberal or Conservative the ruling must be the same.
The only alternative would be that someone would have to be born on this soil to be considered “natural born” So if say you went on vacation abroad or down to Tijuana for a weekend and your wife gave birth you would have to have your child “naturalized’” because they wouldn’t be considered “natural born”
That’s ridiculous on it’s face. And what makes this entire discussion rather silly.
