The laws and customs of the United States conform with this interpretation. The citizens of the United States are divided into two classes, Natural born and naturalized. All of those who received their citizenship by court or administrative act are naturalized citizens and must present documentation of that event.
Naturalized citizens include those who are naturalized at birth by the authority of the statutory law found in the Immigration and Naturalization Acts. Senator Ted Cruz acquired U.S. citizenship by the authority of the Immigration and Naturalization Act o f1952, so he was naturalized at birth by that statutory law.
