This is utter nonsense.
Defeat the man on the ideological playing field if you must, not this birther garbage.
Of course, maybe you cannot... Maybe instead you have to rely on this nonsense to come up with a reason to vote for the baby killing supporter who is Donald J. Trump...
Love it!
These polls are so gamed it’s ridiculous.
SOLUTION to CRUZ-BIRTHER CAGE FIGHT ...
AZ State Rep Calls For Constitutional Convention On Cruz Birth Issue
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3384579/posts
Further down I suggested a modest constitutional amendment [easier and, with rapid communications, also faster, with the speed of text-networking...]
Amend to have English-speaking parents with Canadian citizenship also help qualify natural born status. Why not? It’s not some radical Islamo-nut nation like Indonesia after all. Even Quebec is not so bad either.
Cruz should not turn too openly for such a process. It would make him look weak. But this is a good way to flush out who wants to use rules and process to disqualify him.
yeah, people are making mocking comments and it’s WAY too early for that.
running victory laps already is foolhearty.
and it’s amazing that a man so liked a year ago is not thrown in with Bush.
frankly, its absurd.
cruz and trump both have flaws. but neither of them belongs in the same sentence with jeb.
a lot of people here talk about how crooked the system is, yet their smug belief that the race is all but over, might give jeb or rubio a hint of sunlight,
The list of candidates on the republican ticket who could have their type of citizenship in question include: Cruz , Rubio, Jindall, Santorum , and even Trump if he wanted to be included in asking for a Declaritive Judgment from the SCOTUS. IMO the proper route would be for the RNC to file it in all of their and the parties behalf. Expect it this spring before convention
There was one campaign in the rrevolution, iirc, that was designed to bring part of Canada under US control. Maybe it was war of 1812. Had it succeeded Cruz would be unquestioned. But it does show Canada and US were seen as very compatible back then.

It's a real bad precedent that would further erode our identity and sovereignty in the long term, and turn Obama's should-have-been settled in court situation into a precedent that will never go away. Now's the time to reverse that trend, not solidify it.
I don’t believe it. I wouldn’t put it past the treacherous SC GOP to lie.
Des Moines Register was off by 10 points on Santorum, or so I heard.
Trump could crush Jeb Bush. Probably glad to see him on the rebound if this is true. Cruz is more of a challenge.
Trump’s biggest lead is in NH,, I don’t know where you come up with Christi
His mother was born in Deleware. Period.
He was born to an American citizen living abroad. Period.
He is an American citizen. Period.
Why even waste time on this???
Trump was losing so he flipped his position on the matter to what he feels he connects most with: birther nonsense.
None of that makes a difference. Natural born status is not transferred through the maternal line by any definition of Natural Born Citizen around at the time of the founding fathers.
Wonder if Obama had morons questioning his citizenship or if this is unique to jackasses on the right.
FWIW, Cruz's situation is much further removed from "natural born citizenship" than Obama's.
Give me a break.
Natural born citizen is not defined by the US Constitution. So instead, we rely on the US code and various acts (such as the Naturalization Act of 1790) to determine intent.
US Code of course stipulates it is passed through the mother, as I’m pretty sure most sensable people would support. Heck, if a woman can vote, maybe citizenship can pass through her as well...
His mother was born in Deleware. Period.
He was born to an American citizen living abroad. Period.
He is an American citizen. Period.
You got that much right. Well, if you meant a maximum one half American citizen ( does that other one half escape your attention somehow? )
Now riddle me this batman, [1] Exactly what offices does the Constitution NOT allow a mere American citizen ( full, half, whatever ) in its requirement?
Why even waste time on this???
Well, see above. That is exactly why the issue is wasting our time.
Secondary riddle. [2] Name any elected President with a foreign parent?
Hopefully you can respond in an unambiguous manner like ...
