Cruz was a natural-born Canadian citizen who "at his birth" "became" "under the law" of the United States, a "citizen of" the United States.

If your last sentence is correct, then Ted Cruz was naturalized at birth, an act of a law; not a natural born citizen.

Being a natural born citizen means that one cannot be anything else, and no act of law affects the citizenship status. For a natural born citizen, born on the soil, AND born to parents who are both citizens, there is no question of divided allegiance, no dual citizenship, no claim of any other citizenship, no question that such child is anything other than 100% citizen of one nation; neither due to geography, nor to parentage.

If Ted were naturalized at some point (still unproven), he might be eligible for the Senate seat he currently holds.

Ted Cruz will never in this lifetime be constitutionally eligible to become president of the USA.

Understanding the Founders’ intent in Article 2 Section 1, explains why the globalist lawyers judges and pundits have crucial motivation to hide their intentions.

It was necessary to protect the highest office from usurpation. A Natural Born Citizen had precise meaning at the time our nation was founded. It required the President to be born on US soil (jus soli), and be born of two citizen parents (jus sanguinis ). For centuries this was the maximum protection against usurpation.

Of course the globalists need precedent to render our Constitutional NBC requirement, moot. Consider that with 325 million citizens in the US…

– On the 2008 Presidential ballots McCain was ineligible (jus soli), Obama was ineligible (jus sanguinis), Roger Calero was ineligible (green card holder).
– The GOP pushes ineligible Presidential contenders including Jindal ((jus sanguinis), Rubio (jus sanguinis).

Now consider all of the following unchallenged candidates we have “convinced” ourselves are eligble. And ask yourself just exactly WHO, FROM WHERE, COULD NOT run for the office of President of the United States.

– Obama: born on US soil ‘wink’, to a non-citizen parent
– McCain: born on foreign soil to citizen parents
– Rubio: born on US soil to non-citizen parents
– Jindal: born on US soil to non-citizen parents
– Cruz: born on foreign soil to a non-citizen parent
– Calero: born on foreign soil to non-citizen parents

Plus they have floated these names for conditioning;
Schwarzenegger: born on foreign soil to non-citizen parents
Grandholm: born on foreign soil to non-citizen parents
Halley: born on US soil to non-citizen parents

There are no coincidences in politics, this is globalist’s dream if I ever did hear one.

The 1952 Act which governed Cruz's US citizenship defines naturalization as "the conferring of nationality of a state upon a person after birth, by any means whatsoever."

For that reason the State Department does not consider a person like Cruz to be a naturalized citizen

7 FAM 1131.6-3 Not Citizens by “Naturalization”

(TL:CON-68; 04-01-1998)

Section 201(g) NA and section 301(g) INA (formerly section 301(a)(7) INA) both specify that naturalization is "the conferring of nationality of a state upon a person after birth." Clearly, then, Americans who acquired their citizenship by birth abroad to U.S. citizens are not considered naturalized citizens under either act.

There is no such thing as a person “naturalized at birth.”

That is complete gobbledygook.

Was there a judge in the delivery room waiting to lead the baby just emerging from the birth canal in the oath of citizenship and swear in the baby being born as a US citizenship?

It took my friend 10 years to be naturalized.

How can that happen ‘at birth?’

That is total nonsense.
