-- There are exclusions for US bases and Ambassadors out of country or receive a Senate waiver --

The only exclusion a court recognizes is diplomats and some of the entourage that swirls around them. US military bases abroad are "not in the US" as a matter of law, so persons born there become citizens by naturalization. The Senate doesn't have the power to amend the constitution either. It can say "a naturalized person is not naturalized" (it did that for McCain), but the pronouncement is nonsense on stilts.

-- I just wish he would lay it out and explain it. As a Constitutional lawyer he should explain it. --

He [Cruz] is using the best argument there is, and avoiding citation to law. Everybody knows that if you were born a citizen and did not go through a naturalization ceremony, that you were not naturalized. This is so simple, there isn't even case law on the subject.

It's a lie, but a darned effective one.

So how is he getting away with it. It may be a bit of an irrelevant law, but he and his conservative purists shout Constitution every chance they get, yet ignore this. Why is it not cleared up or really, why has he not left the race for the sake of the country?

This is why he should have cleared it up when he had the chance. Now we are voting.
