“He not eligible because he’s not a NBC so why do they keep bringing it up?”

I agree with you... He’s not a natural born citizen. Obama isn’t either IMHO and should be thrown in jail for it. We can’t afford as a nation to change the Constitution just because the usurper seems to have gotten away with it.

Some interesting nuggets in your post...and a couple of potential flies in your ointment. First, there are a lot of crednetialled conservatives who do not agree with your assessment of the Constitutional breach, just as there are a lot who do.

And there's another issue: original intent: the intent of this provision is not to worship a piece of land. It was to protect the idea of America from those who would have more allegiance to another nation. Regardless of where the truth comes down on the technicality, Cruz is in no way in violation of the spirit of the Constitutional provision.

This is a debate I watch from the sidelines, as I have moments where both sides make good points. But when a technicality is in question, I always defer to the intent.
