[No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.]
Nowhere in the presidential clause does the term 'naturalized Citizen' exist, therefore former Gov. Jennifer Granholm, a dual citizen, is not eligible to be president. Since it is official that no naturalized Citizen is allowed to become president, it brings us back to Senator Ted Cruz.
If dual Citizen claiming Jennifer Granholm was born in Canada to one American parent and she had to naturalize in 1980 at age 21 to become a U.S. Citizen, that means Ted Cruz would have had to naturalize at some point too making him also ineligible to be president. The question is when?
Cruz was a citizen at birth - period.
Here is the link to Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s biography
http://immigration.about.com/b/2009/01/14/immigrant-spotlight-gov-jennifer-granholm.htm
Granholm’s family moved to the U.S. when she was four years old. She grew up in California and became a naturalized U.S. citizen at the age of 21.
Here is the transcript of Granholm’s statements admitting to dual Citizenship to Chris Wallace. Scroll down half the page.
New Zealand born Tennessee Nana was naturalized in 1975...
YAAAAAAAAAA I’m eligible
:)
Quick!!! Seal the records.
Yes, a Canadian citizen, like my friend from high school, who was born in Montreal to American parents working there. She is a dual citizen, and so are her U.S. born kids who have never even been to Canada.
You have to be a natural born Citizen at birth to be president, not Citizen.
That biography says nothing about one of her parents being American. Ted Cruz was born to an American mother, making him an American.
Don’t waste your time. You might as well pursue developing a free energy device. Both will be as successful.
Ted Cruz was never naturalized. Under the conditions of his birth, he was a US citizen, natural born citizen.
Unfortunately that ship sailed, natural born citizen since there is no definition of NBC in Constitution
Senator Cruz BTW was born to an American born mother and a legal immigrant father. different than Grandhold.
This is rasis.
Oh, wait a minute, wrong thread.
Most of the post 2008 birthers are nothing but trolls in my opinion.
I agree.
Sorry, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Cruz is was naturally born a US citizen
The difference between Cruz and Obama is that Obama gave up his citizenship and took foreign citizenship and, when college age, received benefits as a foreign student.
Cruz is a warrior for conservative American values, the constitution and is fighting the good fight against the current ruling elite which does not hold the same values.
Obama is trying to destroy American values, the American constitution and the nation itself.
Cruz will be a powerful candidate for President in 2016.
Agreed. Here they are backstabbing Cruz by counting angels on the head of a pin instead of fighting the Rats.
Very skewed and even perverse priorities.
My father was Canadian-born of US parents in residence. He was given a choice of citizenship age 16 after having moved back age 2. He has gone through life thinking he could never be president.
The good ol’ U. S. of A. does not recognize ‘dual-citizenship’.
Granholm, you’re either an American or you aren’t, period.
