This argument is false to begin with. Ted Cruz was never born an American Citizen, so it doesn’t matter if the government wanted some “born” Americans to be ineligible for NBC status or no. Ted Cruz was born a Canadian citizen, solely a Canadian citizen, to a father who was a Cuban immigrant and naturalized as a Canadian citizen and an “American” mother, who had also given up her nationality and become a naturalized Canadian citizen. Two Canadian citizen parents, born in Canada makes a Canadian, not an American, and there’s no magic math to make Cruz anything else but a NATURALIZED AMERICAN IMMIGRANT, making him INELIGIBLE FOR OFFICE.
