The first 8 where “grandfathered in” by the Constitution BECAUSE the country was at its nexus. But of course the Framers wanted PURE citizens to be presidents afterwards. They DIDN’T say “only citizens” can be president, they said “only special citizens” can be president. There is NOTHING special about Cruz’s citizenship. Special citizenship was understood to be pure, unassailable, unquestionable, and NON-foreign. The FACT that Cruz’s eligibility is be questioned points to the OBVIOUSNESS of its inferiority to others. There are millions of natural born citizens in the country. Obama is not one, Cruz is not one, Rubio is not one. All of my life it was COMPLETELY UNDERSTOOD that to be president you had to be born in AMERICA. Why have we walked this back? Why the desire to challenge the wisdom of the Founders? It is mind-boggling.
You had to be born in America to,two parents who are American citizens
“All of my life it was COMPLETELY UNDERSTOOD that to be president you had to be born in AMERICA. Why have we walked this back? Why the desire to challenge the wisdom of the Founders? It is mind-boggling.”
Born of citizens of the United States.
That was what I was taught in American history in high school. But some of the champions of the Constitution, such as Mark Levin, and ALL Cruz supporters, will call you a moron for saying that.
Rubio has probably never been legalized, and the man is supposed to be third in line to be president.
“There are millions of natural born citizens in the country. Obama is not one, Cruz is not one, Rubio is not one.”
There’s just one problem. By allowing the Obama to remain in
office and be reelected without impeachment the precedent
has been set. The same for Lois Lerner. Now anyone on the
planet can be president and they can use the IRS against
their political opponents as long as they are establishment liberal.
You may be right but its
to late to do anything about it now. Besides the only
people forced to strictly follow the Constitution are
conservatives, everyone else is exempt.
