As of 2016, when Individual States proclaimed Ted Cruz was a Natural Born Citizen, the definition of who is a Natural Born Citizen has included anyone born anywhere in the World to one parent who, at the time of birth is a US Citizen...

So, until otherwise, this is the provision...

This sounds as one of those unlawful laws tyrants are passing from both the Democrat and the Enabler Party.

That means we have 10's of 1000's of citizens scattered around the world - anywhere we have military bases, and anywhere military personnel have been deployed for more than a few days.

Amen and Amen it used to mean that both the father and mother were US citizens before one was classified as a natural born citizen and now wh**ever was posted above constitutes a natural born citizen and if the democrats have their way then any i*****l a***n will be a natural born citizen as long as they made it across the border alive.

This has been law since 1790. There are certain residency requirements for the citizen parent, set forth in 8 USC 1401.

This was NOT the intent of the founders. The term Natural Born Citizen would have meant that the person would be born on U.S. Soil, of both parents who were citizens of the U.S. at the time of the birth. That would make Ted Cruz, Barry Soetero(AKA Barray Obama, John McCain, Bobby Jindahl, and other) ineligible to be president.

Mind telling me how you arrived at this conclusion which is found nowhere in the Constitution? This definition was promulgated by a Swiss philosopher named Emmerich Vattel in his 1758 book The Law of Nations.
He was never a US citizen and never even visited North America. He died in 1764.
The US Code provides that a child born to one US parent anywhere in the world is a birth citizen. There are only two classes of citizen: Natural born, (birth citizen) or naturalized.

Once more, perhaps you can show us where, in either the Constitution or in US statutory law, such a requirement has been written down?
Birth Citizen and Natural Born Citizen are exactly the same thing, there is not now, nor has there ever been more than 2 classes of US citizen; birth and naturalized.
