The paperwork is not relevant. Only the fact that Ted Cruz acquired U.S. citizenship by the authority of the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952 that authorized Ted Cruz to be naturalized at birth, with or without documentation.

This is entirely incorrect. When you say 'naturalized at birth' you are uttering an oxymoron. Citizenship by naturalization is never conferred at birth.

I think you are allowing your thinking to be confused the the name of the Act you are quoting. As a matter of law, the titles of acts have no bearing on their actual content.

Yep... naturalization is a process for those not born citizens. For those not natural born. There are only two ways to be a citizen. Naturalized via the process, or natural born. That's it.

If the framers intended being born on the soil to be a requirement they would have said "natural native born". But that is not what they said.

Citizenship by naturalization is never conferred at birth.

Again, see reply 95.

-- Citizenship by naturalization is never conferred at birth. --

That is false, and your entire argument rises or falls on this point.

You fabricated this point out of thin air, and you will not let it go.
