Back in September, when Cruz was but a glimmer in Trump’s polling data, Trump dismissed birther questions on ABC News: “I hear it was checked out by every attorney and every which way and I understand Ted is in fine shape.” That was months after declaring Cruz’s birthplace “a stumbling block.”
“It is interesting, and I think sometimes people point out that it’s a double standard, in the sense that people went out, hot and heavy, including Donald Trump you know, about President Obama when there was really nothing more than conjecture that he wasn’t born in the country," Paul continued. "And yet, there hasn’t been really the same outrage at all for someone who actually is born in another country.”

A person born to an American citizen anywhere can be a citizen of the USA if the parent chooses to apply for the child's citizenship.
A NATURAL BORN CITIZEN must be born inside the boundaries of the United States.
This was common knowledge when I went to school. When did it change that a natural born citizen can be born anywhere?
In other words, an anchor baby is a natural born citizen but a child born to USA citizen parents outside the USA is only a citizen and not a natural born citizen.
Ted Cruz will NEVER get my vote because I don't think the rules should change from 1960 to now. I made A's in civics.
I think congress needs to go further with the rules and rule that both parents of a presidential candidate should be natural born citizens too. The world is becoming too complicated and we need this rule added to protect our American way of life.
I have noticed that children raised outside the USA have not been educated in the American way of life and do not understand our style of government.
