It is time for Rubio and Cruz to leave the race for the good of the country
I’m sorry it hurts so many feelings that natural born citizen is an exclusionary term meaning one can only be a US citizen and nothing else, born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because there is no other possibility.
Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama should be proof enough of the wisdom of the founders when they tried to prevent him from being President by requiring someone who could only be a US citizen and nothing else.
Born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because there is no other possibility.
One cannot be anything else and also be a natural born citizen.
Obama told us he was born a British Subject.
Who believes Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Jay, Monroe, Madison, etc. would have found him to be a natural born citizen?
Rubio and Cruz think they should get away with it because Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama got away with it.
Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009, happened with the complete cooperation of both parties.
They want the Constitution changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
Confuse people about the clear meaning of a three word phrase and voila, every anchor baby and Winston Chrurchill is eligible.
The bench was the reason the GOP went along with the fig leaf resolution for McCain as cover for Obama.
Jindal, Rubio, Haley and Cruz were all up and comers and the future of the party and ineligible.
Whatever Obama’s citizenship at birth, his loyalty became divided when he took on Indonesian citizenship during his growing up years.
The founders didn’t recognize dual citizenship.
There are 3 simple critical criteria to be NBC: 2 citizen parents and born on US soil.
Obama - 1 citizen parent, born on US soil (2 out of 3)
Cruz - 1 citizen parent, not born on US soil (1 out of 3)
Rubio - No citizen parents, born on US soil (1 out of 3)
We no longer live in a country of laws but of men who prefer word salad and bending the law to suit themselves.
Demonstratively incorrect.
In April 2008, Obama Soetoro agreed and signed SR 511 that NBC is born on US soil to two US citizen parents.
So did Hellary.
So did Coburn who today endorsed Rubio.

Senate Resolution 511 - IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES
“Mrs. MCCASKILL (for herself and Mr. LEAHY, Mr. OBAMA, Mr. COBURN, Mrs. CLINTON, and Mr. WEBB) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on RESOLUTION Recognizing that John Sidney McCain, III, is a natural born citizen.
“Because he was born to American citizens, there is no doubt in my mind that Senator McCain is a natural born citizen”... John Sidney McCain, III, was born to American citizens on an American Naval”
“At a Judiciary Committee hearing on April 3, Leahy asked Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, himself a former Federal judge, if he had doubts that McCain was eligible to serve as President. “My assumption and my understanding is that if you are born of American parents, you are naturally a natural-born American citizen,” Chertoff replied. “That is mine, too,” said Leahy.”
William Rawle, who was appointed by George Washington to be U.S. Attorney for Pennsylvania, wrote in his 1824 book on constitutional law that "every person born within the United States, its territories or districts, whether the parents are citizens or aliens, is a natural born citizen in the sense of the Constitution, and entitled to all the rights and privileges appertaining to that capacity." So that would cover at least Obama and Rubio, if not Cruz.
