This really kills the "what the framers had in mind" ploy. The framers had in mind that those who were foreign born can be President under acceptable circumstance.

Reading comprehension problems. huh?

What part of

"No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President"

do you not understand? Don't you have a more pressing Islamic invasion going on right now? I suggest you work on Germanys' Merkel problem and leave to us to work on our Cruz problem.

[jpsb]

The author is in short an idiot. Since the constitution specifically grand fathered in all those former British subjects.

Cruz is misleading

He knows where the pitfall lies

Anyone here bother to read the 1790 act would know too

I suggest all the sound and fury here read the Act

It is the only place Natural Born us mentioned

I’m interested in the truth

As usual most freepers just want to holler

On both sides

Cruz needs to apply for a ruling

‘The framers had in mind that those who were foreign born can be President under acceptable circumstance.’

And I personally think we can afford to consider Canadian born with some US background as eligible. But to avoid all the hair-pulling and squabbles, a constitutional amendment would clear that up. AND ... when democrats and the Ruling Class get in the way of that amendment, we ‘out’ them.

Further, if Cruz wins, the amendment moves forward to vindicate him retrospectively.
