If Cruz is Eligible Because His Mom Was a U.S. Citizen Then so is Obama

Posted on 01/18/2016 5:57:15 PM PST by Enlightened1

For all the arguments that went on for years on this web site, talk radio and many other sites about Obama's eligibility.... If Cruz is eligible because his mom was a U.S. Citizen, then so is Obama because his mom was a U.S. Citizen.... Just saying!

This has not gone unnoticed. Makes me nervous as to how some may view “shall not be infringed”. Another plainly worded law.

Another point.

Many of you guys are now arguing location does not matter.

The only thing that matters is as long as your mom or dad is a U.S. Citizen.

That’s Bull$hit and everyone knows that!

I never heard that before,

Then you have made no effort to educate yourself on the subject. That is ancient history. It is perhaps the most basic fact underlying the "birther" phenomenon.

but I do know she was 19 almost 20 when she had him in 1962.

Obnama's mother was born 11-29-1942.

Obama was born 8-4-1961.

But you "know" that she was 19, almost 20.

Why should anyone read your posts?

“Not according to the relevant statutes. Cruz eligible, Obama not. You”

The “relevant statutes” is the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952, which granted Ted Cruz U.S. citizenship by naturalization at birth. This Act made Ted Cruz a naturalized U.S. citizen, which is the opposite of a natural born citizen. Arnold Schwarznegger is a naturalized U.S. citizen, and he is not eligible to be POTUS. Ted Cruz is a naturalized U.S. citizen, and he too is not eligible to be POTUS.

Are there three types of U.S. citizenship?

Well, I am willing to let the voters decide. After all, the Constitution uses the term NATURAL_BORN without defining it, just as Euclid used the word LINE without defining it.

Please show me the law (link it) that says his mom was NOT a U.S. Citizen even though she was born in Kansas.

No, nothing so simple. You might ask what document Cruz submitted in order to get his passport. Haven;r seen that brought up.

Bingo.

Which could make this whole situation VERY interesting should it actually ever make it to court.

“Exactly. That is why, for Obama, the location of his birth is important. ( and not so with Cruz)”

Because Ted Cruz was born in the foreign state of Canada with Canadian citizenship, he acquired U.S. citizenship by grant pursuant to the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952 provision for the child born abroad with a U.S. citizen parent to be made a naturalized U.S. citizen at birth.

A misconception that many on this subject adhere is using the term “natural born” and “native born” as if they were synonymous....they are not.

The online was was analyzed by Photoshop experts and was found to have multiple layers. Scanned images do not have layers. Believe what you must to support Trump.
