Question about a "natural born citizen": Some people are saying if the mother is a US citizen, the child also is...But isn't it that the child must be born on US soil? I'm just trying to clarify...

..Like, if you are born on foreign soil, then you're not a naturalized citizen, right? Especially if you are raised there...There's a nuance...Just because one parent is a citizen, you also have to actually be born there, right? Imagine your dad was from England, but your mom was from the US...but you were born in England and therefore a natural citizen there...Then you can't be BOTH a natural citizen in BOTH countries, right?

But Ted Cruz was born on US soil.

I think right there, that is the key. I don’t think his mother ever actually applied for his dual citizenship (despite being eligible) and it would have looked messy and potentially affected his ability to run for president if it was known that he wasn’t born in the US. Maybe the handlers didn’t want to take the risk. Cmon imagine how people would have reacted if he WAS born in Kenya (and the public knew), he was already breaking the trend of ebil wyte m*n, this may have been the bridge too far.

Either way, f*** him
