>>>>Cruz is clearly a NBC, while Obama is most likely not.

Obama is NBC and he never re-announced any country citizenship.
Please don’t twist facts.

Cruz needs to suck it up. If he gets the nomination this will the the ONLY talking point in the general.

Prove what in court?

All he has to do is show his own birth certificate showing his birth in Canada and tell the court that his mom was born in the USA.

It is very clear cut. Cruz was born to an American citizen making him a citizen.

Finally, Simply because one is or was a Dual Citizen does not mean that they cannot be a natural born citizen.

According to who? I don't believe this question has ever gone through the courts, as well as the question of how natural born status is truly conferred.

“If Cruz wins the nom, the Dems are coming after him. “

Yup.

It ain’t Trump he needs to worry about on this issue.

The Dems and the media WILL go after him, and a tweet isnt going to scare them.

It is very clear cut. Cruz was born to an American citizen making him a citizen.

But is he a NATURAL born citizen? Do both parents need to be citizens? Is natural born status confer from the father, or is the mother sufficient? What if the mother is dual citizen herself? Can you still be a natural born citizen despite being a dual citizen your entire life?

Clearly? As in the founders didn’t want Fedzilla to make homosexual marraige mandatory clearly?

If the Supreme Court can find the most tortured and far fetched reason to do what they want, they simply do it.

What makes Cruz immune from this activist court?

how much you wanna bet.

This is gonna turn talk radio against Trump...and right now, talk radio (Rush) has given Trump at least 100 million worth of free positive pub. This is going to curtail that.

Yup.

Which is what Trump is talking about.

Cruz wants to hide behind a Happy Days video.

Is this the same Teddy Cruz that along with Glenn Beck handed out Teddy bears and soccer balls to illegal children crossing the border? That Teddy Cruz?

Right, because Dems won’t come after Trump.

You kool aid fan girls are nauseating. You just destroy any adult logic to wave your pom poms.

Glad to see so many FReepers recognizing Greetings_Puny_Humans as the pathetic Trump fanboi that he is.

He fulfills all the constitutional requirements of the office of president. Just like McCain.

you are very selective in your memory.
and wrong in your prediction.

Trump is going to turn the conservative media against him if he comes at Cruz this way, or on ethanol, etc......

Thank you for that opinion.

Have you heard anything about Cruz’s mother giving up her USA citizenship while residing in Canada,to avoid double taxation on their business?

Would that affect his natural born status, if it is proven to be factual?
