What is the Constitutional requirement to hold the office? Original intent ‘natural born, not the Congressional act of 1790. Congress nor a court can give or take ‘natural born’ standing. One either has it or not due to circumstance of birth. Cruz does not have nor can any entity give him ‘natural born’, only comes from citizen parents. Cruz's father only recently became an American citizen.
Original intent natural born, not the Congressional act of 1790. Congress nor a court can give or take 'natural born' standing. Since the definition is not in the Constitution, why can't the Congress or a court give natural born standing?

Since the Constitution doesn't spell it out, Congress has the power, given in the Constitution, to do so. Probably why they wrote the act in 1790, don't you think?
