Professor Chin Quoted in U.S. News & World Report
Professor Gabriel "Jack" Chin is quoted in a U.S. News & World Report article regarding the citizenship of Senator Ted Cruz, a potential Republican presidential candidate.
Cruz, who was born in Canada to a U.S.-citizen mother, was a citizen of both the United States and Canada, but recently renounced his Canadian citizenship, possibly as a means of avoiding a potential controversy should he run for president. The article notes that the U.S. Constitution mandates that only a "natural born citizen" of the United States may be president, and references Professor Chin as saying that "the problem is, no one knows what a natural born citizen is," a quote he provided for Politico last year.
Gabriel "Jack" Chin, who joined the King Hall faculty in 2011, is a prolific and much-cited criminal and immigration law scholar whose work has addressed many of the most pressing social issues of our time.
