Letters to the Editor
Natural-born Citizen?
In the January 25 “Letters to the Editor” column, Daniel Hunt questioned your inclusion of Senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio in the excellent overview of the presidential candidates (“Where They Stand,” November 23, 2015 issue). Hunt argued that neither is a natural-born citizen, but I would like to offer a contrary view.
First of all, Judge Andrew Napolitano, who certainly reveres the Constitution, recently said, “A human being born in another country with at least one parent who is an American citizen, who lived in the United States for at least one year during the parent’s life before the birth, is an American citizen. That is exactly Ted Cruz’s situation.”
A natural-born citizen is a citizen who is a citizen at birth, and does not have to go through a naturalization process to become a citizen. So, how does a person become a citizen at birth?
