Colin Allred to Challenge Ted Cruz

[Celerity]

31. There were a tonne of questions, and if he had started to look like he would be the nominee, SCOTUS

would have had a case quickly tossed to them and likely would have said no, he is not natural-born.

A bit of an aside:

I am an American citizen by birth in Los Angeles in 1996, but left the US with my parents before my 2nd birthday. I also lived in the US for 2 plus years whilst reading for my MBA. BUT, if I gave birth to a child now, here in Sweden or the UK (my other two citizenships) or in any part of the world that is not considered US territory, they would not become a US citizen automatically, because I have not lived in the US for more than five years (close, but not long enough) before giving birth (I do meet the 2nd part, which is that 2 of the 5 years must be after you turn 14). Cruz's mother did meet both parts, so he is a naturalised (at birth) US citizens, BUT, he is not a natural born one as he was born OUTSIDE of the all US territory.

I also think that McCain would have had issues, because the law that made the Panama Canal Zone subject to being US territory passed 11 months AFTER he was born. He was NOT granted U.S. citizenship until the age of 11 months. Thank fuck he lost or it would have been a potential shitshow.
