I am a Ted Cruz supporter and I agree that he is not constitutionally qualified for President, because he is not a Natural Born Citizen.
I further believe that, after 8 years of the similarly unqualified Obama, it does not matter.
By the way, the only body that can disqualify a person who has received the requisite number of Electoral votes is the U. S. Congress assembled to count those electoral votes, and that requires only one Congressman to object.
Also, the USSC has no voice in the matter whatsoever, unless the Congress gives them that voice through legislation.
One congressman plus one senator.
A nitpick correction, it takes on from the House plus one from the Senate, IIRC. Somewhere in 3 USC, we'd find the right answer.
I think there are other formal ways to get a ruling, but that depends on the candidate being open to a decision on the merits. But nevermind that, I'll take your position for sake of argument. If there is enough doubt, the candidate loses the election anyway, no formal decision is needed. I think Cruz is toast. He gave it a good shot. It was a gamble.
Congress can pass a constitutional amendment striking out the words “native born” and require the President to be a US citizen, period.
That would open the Presidency to both naturalized and native born Americans.
If you think archaic 18th Century wording should disqualify an American born in Calgary from running for President, its stupid.
Why can he be a loyal Senator or Congressman but not President? That’s what its really all about.
