Senator Ted Cruz Is Shaking Things Up In Washington

John McCain was born in a then American territory, the Canal Zone. I still think he is/was ineligible because he was not born in the United States proper. I think Rubio is unfortunately also unqualified by birth to non citizen parents. More unfortunately, citizenship of any sort is pretty much a moot point and will be formally so when the current resident illegal alien in the WH finally proclaims his status after he leaves office or after he makes it permanent. General subsurface knowledge of the alien status of the current president has already softened Republican attitudes about running non Natural Borns. Democrats have long believed that anyone in the world is eligible to run for the US presidency and should be able to vote in US presidential elections on the theory that every act of the United States affects everyone in the world thus everyone should have political access.

Ted Cruz was the only bright spot on the ballot for me this year.

The only difference between McCain and Cruz/Rubio was that McCain SR was on Active duty in the Navy. (Of course because McCain’s Mother/Father were married in a bar in Tijuana MAY raise suspicions <: <:)
Even Romney was ‘accepted’ though his father was born in Mexico while his family was on a “mission for the church” so, in essence, if I were to be STATIONED, by Government fiat in say Japan, a child that my wife birthed (providing she was a ‘natural born US Citizen (as I) would not be eligible to be President”?
You wouldn’t ‘get away’ with that if say two members of the ‘Peace Corps’ or ‘Volunteer Overseas Mission’ were involved in the same scenario.

“Since he is born Canada, he can’t be President”

Personally I agree with you but if they try to run Rubio who is also not eligible due to the fact that neither of his parents were US citizens at the time of his birth then all bets are off.

So I see you are still looking, as the Jews are, for the TRUE Messiah. I would not hold my breath FRiend.

Romney’s father was born in Mexico but the critical fact was that Romney’s parents were both American citizens when Romney was born, That is not the case with Rubio. I like Rubio. I like Cruz. They are not, however, Natural Born Citizens, and neither is McCain, though I don’t like him at all.McCain is in the “but, but...” category but he is still outside the zone.
