Yes, either you are born with citizenship based on the conditions of your birth or naturalized. If you are a citizen and not naturalized you have to be “natural born”. There is no third option.
Cruz was born with citizenship based on the law at the time of his birth. That makes him a natural born citizen.
My 2 cents.
Just soli.
Cruz was not born on US soil.
He is a citizen but no a NBC
“Cruz was born with citizenship based on the law at the time of his birth. That makes him a natural born citizen.”
The fact that Ted Cruz acquired U.S. citizenship by the statutory law of the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952 precludes any possibility of his citizenship being a form of natural born citizenship. Ted Cruz was naturalized at birth by the naturalization act, which is a statutory law and not by the Law of Nature which is what the “natural” is in the phrase natural born citizen.
I was thinking the same thing
Cruz was not naturalized correct?
If people don’t think he is a citizen because he was not naturalized and he was born in a foreign country then what do they think he is right now? How can he be a Senator if he not a citizen?
