But no one, not me nor Zimmer v Acheson is saying that Cruz is not a citizen. The question remains "natural born" or "naturalized" and, as noted here:

BTW, these guys are real hard-asses. They would have declared McCain ineligible because he was born in the Panama Canal Zone.
Forgetting Trump or some birther with a blog, there are reputable legal scholars who have doubts on that point.

Quote:The closest the U.S. Supreme Court has come to addressing eligibility to be president was in Perkins v. Elg, 307 U.S. 325 (1939):
Quote:There is no law of the United States under which his father or any other person can deprive him of his birthright. He can return to America at the age of twenty-one, and in due time, if the people elect, he can become President of the United States... [citing to Steinkauler's Case, which was an opinion given by Edwards Pierrepont, who was Attorney General for Ulysses S. Grant].
BTW, these guys are real hard-asses. They would have declared McCain ineligible because he was born in the Panama Canal Zone.
Quote:Most of the confusion over the eligibility of John McCain seems to stem from the mistaken notion that "citizen at birth" has the same meaning as "natural born citizen". The meaning is not the same. A naturalization statute can make a person a citizen at birth, but that does not make him "natural born".
Quote:TITLE 8 > CHAPTER 12 > SUBCHAPTER III > Part I > § 1401
§ 1401. Nationals and citizens of United States at birth
The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:
(a) a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof;
(b) a person born in the United States to a member of an Indian, Eskimo, Aleutian, or other aboriginal tribe: Provided, That the granting of citizenship under this subsection shall not in any manner impair or otherwise affect the right of such person to tribal or other property;
These first two correspond to "natural born". The rest are all "naturalized by statute".
Forgetting Trump or some birther with a blog, there are reputable legal scholars who have doubts on that point.
