No, he’s natural born — by the very act you cited.
Nobody thinks otherwise except a few partisans who are scared of him.
“No, he’s natural born — by the very act you cited.”
Ted Cruz claims he acquired U.S. citizenship on the basis his mother was a U.S. citizen. The only law at the time of his birth that transmits U.S. citizenship by inheritance form the mother is the U.S. Naturalization Act of 1952. That statutory naturalization law took a child who was born abroad with Canadian citizenship and allegiance to the foreign sovereign of Canada and naturalized the child as a U.S. citizen but only if and when the parent or child perfected the right to claim U.S. citizenship after birth. As observed in Rogers v. Bellei 401 U.S. 815 (1971) :
“A person born out of the jurisdiction of the United States can only become a citizen by being naturalized, either by treaty, as in the case of the annexation of foreign territory; or by authority of Congress, exercised either by declaring certain classes of persons to be citizens, as in the enactments conferring citizenship upon foreign-born children of citizens, or by enabling foreigners individually to become citizens by proceedings in the judicial tribunals, as in the ordinary provisions of the naturalization acts.”
Furthermore< United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649, 18 S.Ct. 456, 42 L.Ed. said “A person born out of the jurisdiction of the United States can only become a citizen by being naturalized, either by treaty, as in the case of the annexation of foreign territory; or by authority of Congress, exercised either by declaring certain classes of persons to be citizens, as in the enactments conferring citizenship upon foreign-born children of citizens, or by enabling foreigners individually to become citizens by proceedings in the judicial tribunals, as in the ordinary provisions of the naturalization acts.
“Nobody thinks otherwise except a few partisans who are scared of him.”
That is a false statement as evidenced by the U.S. Supreme court decisions and other Federal court decisions which explicitly state “A person born out of the jurisdiction of the United States can only become a citizen by being naturalized....” Given this demonstrated and indisputable fact that Ted Cruz was naturalized as a U.S. citizen and such naturalized U.S. citizens are ineligible to be POTUS, it is quite obvious Ted Cruz is not eligible to be POYUS and is not and cannot be a natural born citizen.
