I like the guy. I like his politics.

He just does not qualify.

He has a Canadian birth certificate. His father was Cuban.

I just don’t see how he meets the natural born constitutional requirement.

The original intent was to not have a president with potential for divided loyalties.

Once again, you are calling your opinion of "Natural Born" constitutional base on what?

The constitution very clearly lays out the processes involved by which something can be called constitutional.

1. Amendment.
2. US Law passed by Congress and signed by the President.
3. Supreme Court Ruling.

Nowhere does it state that because someone applies the concept of "original intent" to an opinion, outside of these three constitutionally defined processes that that opinion can be considered constitutional.

This is simply your opinion as to the original intent of the founders on this issue.

So stating your opinion declaratively and as if a fact does noting to prove your position, and after having been pointed out to you several times, borders on deceit.

So Triple, when Cruz wins the nomination are you going to vote for Hillary or just sit out the election?

Do you really, truly believe that a newborn infant has “loyalties?”
