I thought the obvious reason was to prevent those without any ties or loyalty from birth from seeking to become citizens in order ultimately undermine the nation.

This was from the link to the Natural Law Wikipedia page that you posted the link to:

The use of natural law, in its various incarnations, has varied widely through its history. There are a number of different theories of natural law, differing from each other with respect to the role that morality plays in determining the authority of legal norms. This article deals with its usages separately rather than attempt to unify them into a single theory.

The fact that NBC has the word Natural in it doesn't necessarily link it to Natural Law.

There is only one form of citizenship that is OBVIOUSLY a Natural Born citizen.

It is not obvious, however, that it is the only form of citizenship that is Natural Born. In fact, the idea that it the only form is a fairly obscure minority view. The more obvious view is that NBC and citizen at birth are synonymous.

Please note, I support Cruz. I support him on the basis that the Constitution has *already* been overthrown, but he might be willing to restore it.

I agree that there is the possibility that the Constitution has already been overthrown because of the lack of curiosity about the location of Obama's birth, but if that was a real birth certificate and he was really born in Hawaii (very doubtful and somewhat doubtful), then he's eligible. There was certainly no urgency to take care that it was not violated.

That fact that it was capitalized does link it to Natural Law in combination with the “obvious reason”.

Now, if that is actually the “obvious reason”, why would you expand that definition to include people whom obviously have ties are loyalties to other nations, without necessarily any meaningful ties to this country? (vis-à-vis anchor babies)

Obama’s problems go deeper than you realize. We don’t actually have proof he’s related to his grandparents or his mother, and evidence suggesting otherwise.
