“A natural born citizen is one who is born in the country (jus soli), AND born to parents who are both US citizens (jus sanguinis).”

That is absolutely false.

That is only your opinion.

That has no basis in reality or fact.

A natural born citizen is whatever Congress says it is.

So you think Congress can amend the Constitution all by themselves?

Do you have a copy? Check out Article V.

This statement is false, “A natural born citizen is whatever Congress says it is.”

An Amendment to the Constitution is required to change the qualifications for POTUS. We know that you already are aware of that fact. But, for the record, H.J. Res 88 (2000) is one of the last times that Congress considered amending the Constitution to allow a foreign born citizen, like Raphael Cruz, to ascend to the presidency.

H.J. Res 88 to Amend the Constitution FAILED in 2000.

Year 2000 — H.J. Res 88 —CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO ALLOW FOREIGN-BORN CITIZENS TO BE PRESIDENT

HEARING BEFORE THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON THE CONSTITUTION OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

ONE HUNDRED SIXTH CONGRESS SECOND SESSION ON H.J.Res. 88

JULY 24, 2000 Serial No. 108

Moseley, It FAILED. The Constitution has not been amended to allow for foreign born citizens to become president or vice-president.

Raphael Cruz is a foreign born citizen. He was not born in the United States of America. He was born in Alberta, Canada. He fails to qualify.
