Why don’t you do your own research instead of taking someone else’s word for it? Start with Vattel and the Law of Nations. You’ll find The Law of Nations referenced in Article I, Section 8 , quote “ To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offenses against the Law of Nations;”
Notice that Law of Nations is capitalized. it refers to the work of E. Vattel, published in 1758 to which the Framers had complete knowledge. Some of the DENIERS say Vattel and/or Law of Nations is not cited in the Constitution. Article 1, Section 8 clearly shows they are wrong.
Then reference Benjamin Franklin., John Jay, and numerous others on the subject.
Then go to the Supreme court Decisions which hold that a Natural Born Citizen is one born of two citizen parents and born on the soil of the U.S.
A Natural Born Citizen is one who can not be of any other citizenship. Cruz is not eligible!

My initial post stated I did my own research, thank you very much....

I’ve also read numerous opinions by legal scholars....

Since I’m not a constitutional attorney, proper analysis of bits’ and pieces is at best confusing....

Answers are all over the place....everyone points to their own researched documents stating it supports their opinion....

Obviously it will need to be litigated....
