Sorry I misread and now realize we are in agreement.
I guess I can say this with out being required to seek a lawyers permission.
I believe that you are.
I guess we will just have to disagree.
What do you think Trump is????!!!
Not five years right before birth. 20 years could go by.and that is only the current immigration law for citizens
Read it again...
The answer is yes.so now answer the question
Does that equate with natural born?
I don't know.
According to that same section soetoro is not a citizen if he was born outside the US.
If he was born in Hawaii then he is an anchor baby, not natural born.
A great irony in all of this is that it was predicted many years ago that Republican candidates would face the same issue one day in their own ranks and here we are.
Show me where Trump ever said Cruz is not a natural born citizen. All I’ve heard him say is that it will be challenged by the democrats. And it will be.
When it comes to citizenship you are either “naturalized” or “natural born”. Since Cruz didn’t need to be naturalized, he is established as natural born. As much as I detest Obama, my issue with his eligibility was based on the fraudulent nature of his birth certificate. I suspect that he was born abroad, or his actual birth certificate showed his birth father as either “Frank Marshall” or “Malcolm Little aka Malcolm X” or “unknown” which would expose his entire biography as BS.
Again, as I have already stated, if a parent met the residency requirement (and the baby was born after 1952), the hypothetical princes are NBCs.
This & post 58, great recourses. I hope this issue sees the light of day & is resolved so it doesn’t arise again and again.
I did read it . you said you are a lawyer . it does not require those 5years to be right before birth. Those years could be from 10 years before birth
He was born in Canada of that there s no doubt. The Constitution still stands this ruling is no different than Pelosi submitting fraudulent certification to the State and the State accepting it. This was not a court ruling and their won't be one.
‘zackly.

See specifically section (g) which I quote;
(g) a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than five years, at least two of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years
When it comes to citizenship you are either “naturalized†or “natural bornâ€. Since Cruz didn’t need to be naturalized, he is established as natural born.
You have stated it clearly and succinctly. Some freepers think we need to make this more complicated than it really is.
The prince isn’t hypothetical. He is a real prince . so you claim Madison would want royalty as potus
Cruz has alliance with us, Barry from Indonesia, not so much.

Cruz’s “alliance with us” began in 2014, when he surrendered his Canadian citizenship.
