TED CRUZ MUST SHOW NATURALIZATION PAPERS TO KEEP HIS U.S. SENATE SEAT

[COLGATE4]

60. Nope. Naturalization only applies to children of

US citizens born abroad who do not qualify for automatic citizenship by law:

8 U.S. Code § 1431: &quot a) A child born outside of the United States automatically becomes a citizen of the United States when all of the following conditions have been fulfilled:
(1) At least one parent of the child is a citizen of the United States, whether by birth or naturalization.
(2) The child is under the age of eighteen years.
(3) The child is residing in the United States in the legal and physical custody of the citizen parent pursuant to a lawful admission for permanent residence.

For those children who do not qualify under 8 USC 1431:

8 U.S. Code § 1433: &quot a) Application by citizen parents; requirements
A parent who is a citizen of the United States (or, if the citizen parent has died during the preceding 5 years, a citizen grandparent or citizen legal guardian) may apply for naturalization on behalf of a child born outside of the United States who has not acquired citizenship automatically under section 1431 of this title.
