He was born in Panama, not the Canal Zone.
What I’m saying is what’s the accepted wisdom in those two situations, McCain and Obama. I’m not saying I’m sure the accepted wisdom is true. With Cruz, it’s still an open question, and it will only take one judge to muck things ump.
That is correct, McCain was not eligible either, fig leaf resolution notwithstanding. The Democrats used that fig leaf resolution as cover for getting The Usurper into office.
Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama should be proof enough of the wisdom of the founders when they tried to prevent him from being President by requiring someone who could only be a US citizen and nothing else.
Born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because there is no other possibility.
One cannot be anything else and also be a natural born citizen.
Obama told us he was born a British Subject.
Who believes Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Jay, Monroe, Madison, etc. would have found him to be a natural born citizen?
Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009, happened with the complete cooperation of both parties.
They want the Constitution changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
Confuse people about the clear meaning of a three word phrase and voila, every anchor baby and Winston Churchill is eligible.
The bench was the reason the GOP went along with the fig leaf resolution for McCain that was used by the Democrats as cover for Obama.
Jindal, Rubio, Haley and Cruz were all up and comers and the future of the party and ineligible.
Interestingly, that resolution relied on McCain’s TWO citizen parents as rationale for his eligibility.
Cruz was born a Canadian citizen to a Cuban father who may have also been eligible to apply for American citizenship due to his mother. We have never seen paperwork that his parents may or may not have filed.
No way would the founders have thought him a natural born citizen.
