Ted Cruz’s citizenship continues to be a topic of discussion in the 2016 race, and it seems its one issue in which the far-left and the far-right might agree.
At the heart of the issue is the definition of “natural born citizen.” While many consider that to mean that one must be born inside of the country in order to serve in the Oval Office, others claim that one is natural born if you have citizenship at birth. The latter theory is backed up somewhat by the nominations of both John McCain and George Romney, both of which were born outside of this country’s borders.
However, since neither man made it to the White House, no Supreme Court case has ever been brought forth that specifically tackled the issue. As such, both sides continue to wage a war of opinion.

Linda Hester Walker read the article I posted, and the acts referrenced in the article. You have no argument.
Then why is Obama president?
What are you saying – obama has a non-citizen father and he is president, Oh does that mean he is illegally president
Linda Hester Walker Where did you get that commentary? If that were the case then those born to our military overseas, people on diplomatic and US government missions born overseas, people born to people conducting business overseas and a whole host of others born outside the US would not be citizens.
And, what about anchor babies who have been accepted as US citizens for decades?
Do you really want to go down that road??
Where was this ‘expert’ when Obama was running?

So, his Mom was and that makes him a citizen – PERIOD!
Doesn’t matter – his mom is a citizen, so he is.
Charlotte Kay Natural born is born on U.S. soil to two citizen parents. The framers did not want a president with loyalties to other nations.
