Really?

Take 5 minutes and read up, you need to do your own research.

“Natural-born subjects” of Britain at the time included children of Britons born in other countries by law. The framers wouldn’t have used that term if they didn’t mean the same thing.

Cruz is natural-born all the way.

“And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond Sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born Citizens: Provided, that the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States: Provided also, that no person heretofore proscribed by any States, shall be admitted a citizen as aforesaid, except by an Act of the Legislature of the State in which such person was proscribed.”

Naturalization Act of 1790, the original congress, and the first time “Natural Born” is defined in US Law. Also the most stringent.

Cruz’s father was granted Asylum in the US immediately after leaving Cuba.
