Sorry, but you are simply not correct. The facts for Cruz and Rubio are not in dispute, so that part is easy. The next step is the law and the law says that they are both eligible. The next step would be to convince the courts to overturn the law. Windflier’s proclamation doesn’t count for much, unfortunately. I don’t think that the courts have any inclination to overturn the law and therefore, the Supreme Court will never agree to hear the cases.

In the very unlikely event that a court goes off the deep end and overturns the law, SCOTUS will step in quickly to tell them that they have erred.

This is the way this will play out.

You're simply not getting this.

All statute law rests upon the Constitution, not the other way around. No law can supersede, or define the dominant charter upon which it is based, and from which it derives its legitimate legality.

The words and meaning of the Constitution cannot be modified by any statute law, and in fact, any law which is repugnant to the Constitution, is without legitimacy or force, and should be considered null and void on its face.

The reason this issue continues to rear its ugly head, is because it has never been fully settled. Certainly not by any mere legislation, which is wholly subservient to our founding charter.

The only constitutional way to put an end to the misunderstandings and disagreements, is for Congress to pass an amendment clarifying the NBC clause once and for all. Not even the Supreme Court can adjudicate the meaning of the Framers.

Again, the word, 'natural', is key here. It indicates that, by the very condition of a person's birth, they can't be anything BUT an American citizen. No law is required to define such a person's citizenship, because they are, by nature, one thing, and one thing only -- an American citizen.
