Terrible headline. Cruz is an American. He’s likely a Natural Born Citizen as well...

Are the children of Viet Nam vets born overseas to Vietnamese women NBC?

Is a candidate that was born in Panama City outside of the Canal Zone a NBC? The answer is yes.

As far as children of Vietnam vets go, I don’t know the answer from an academic standpoint. Were the mother and the father married at the time of birth?

Well said, that really makes one think!

Also, was Churchill an NBC? His mom was an American...he was born in England.

Probably not. However, if it were hypothetically a servicewoman who gave birth to a child overseas whose father was a citizen of another nation, then perhaps yes (depending on your interpretation of NBC). This scenario is more analogous to Cruz’s particular situation.
