The Naturalization Act of 1790 probably constitutes the most significant evidence available.
Congress enacted this legislation just three years after the drafting of the Constitution,
and many of those who voted on it had participated in the Constitutional Convention.
The act provided that
"children of citizens of the United States,
that may be born beyond the sea,
or out of the limits of the United States,
shall be considered as natural-born citizens."

That pretty well nails it down.

Whether it was Trump or the interviewer who raised the question,
it's a good thing that it's being discussed and put to rest now.

The bad thing is that the Official Media Experts
will throw mud and slime for years to come
to delude the uneducated and disinformed.

MEH - Ask a Liberal what state John McCain was born in... When they say "unorganized territory...", answer, "Yea, that's how Libs leave 'em"

There is no way in hell even 1 in 5 Democrats know John McCain was born in the Canal Zone.

Fewer than 1 in 5 Democrats even know that any Canal Zone ever existed!

Wrong. They know Jimmy Carter gave it away. Because racism. Or something.

Good point. If Trump had been running in '08, he would've parrot-squawked it to everybody in ear-shot though. And the result would've been the same: The Naturalization Act can't be litigated to exclude Cruz. Period.

All those questions have been answered by the current Resident. Anybody can be elected as US President. The thinnest fume of American citizenship can be construed as "Natural Born Citizen."

Hussein's issue is completely different than Cruz'.

Yep, one has forged paperwork and groomed by communists/terrorists to destroy the nation whose documents were sealed, while the other is a real American born of an American mother that loves this country and wants to rebuild it.

Yeah, a bit of a difference...
