Sen. Ted Cruz was projected to win the Wisconsin primary Tuesday, delivering a stunning blow to GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump and resetting the race as it heads east later this month.

> since you agree that Congress has the authority to declare who is a natural born citizen
Your posts mark you as a fool.
The controlling law is the Immigration and Nationality Act, Pub. L. No. 82-414 § 301(a)(7), 66 Stat. 163, 236 (1952). http://uscode.house.gov/statviewer.htm?volume=66&page=163
Note that the foreign-born child of a citizen is not a citizen unless the citizen parent meets the requirements of this statute. The foreign-born child is not a citizen by birth, the foreign-born child is a citizen by this statute.
Statutes “conferring citizenship upon foreign-born children of citizens” is naturalization. U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649, 702-703 (1898) http://openjurist.org/169/us/649
You said The foreign-born child is a citizen AT the moment of birth
The foreign-born child of a citizen parent is not a citizen unless the citizen parent meets the requirements of statute. http://uscode.house.gov/statviewer.htm?volume=66&page=163
I strongly suggest you review your soul.
editor-surveyor has a weak mind.
Give it no attention.
How is winning less than half the votes a big win?
....” Trump assured us that he can be anything he wants to be. So if class indeed is needed, he’ll be able to turn it on in a flash.”......
To date it hasn’t been visible because he can’t be....though I suspect he’s busy in “finishing” school to play the part in the weeks ahead. But you can bet that mask won’t stay in place for long and he’ll slip quite easily. Remember too Trump said...”I just want to be me”......which in fact he expends a great deal of energy protecting the “me” that he is from being seen. Trying to be more Presidential won’t work because that will expose that part of him he’s spent his life protecting....
It’ll be interesting to watch...
Race is on folks....surprises forthcoming.
I guess it is a huge win with lowered expectations.
Sadly, the prediction markets seem to be leaning towards Shillary.
Trump Endorsed McCain in 2008.

So you think it's credible that a first term senator, a weird looking legal wonk, a guy nobody likes has a huge secret army of followers that he gathered... how?
Playing this game is the GOPe's full time job. Even Trump will have trouble beating them at a convention where they write the rules. Cruz has no chance outside a very unlikely alliance with Trump.
Really, Donald, this liar accusation of everyone you don’t like is getting old.
Here is the CURRENT law in question It is 8 U. S. Code 1401 I have capitalized the operative sections for you.
THE FOLLOWING SHALL BE CITIZENS AND NATIONALS OF THE UNITED STATES AT BIRTH:
(a) a person born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof;
(b) a person born in the United States to a member of an Indian, Eskimo, Aleutian, or other aboriginal tribe:
Provided
, That the granting of citizenship under this subsection shall not in any manner impair or otherwise affect the right of such person to tribal or other property;
(c) a person born outside of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents both of whom are citizens of the United States and one of whom has had a residence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions, prior to the birth of such person;
(d) a person born outside of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is a citizen of the United States who has been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year prior to the birth of such person, and the other of whom is a national, but not a citizen of the United States;
(e) a person born in an outlying possession of the United States of parents one of whom is a citizen of the United States who has been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year at any time prior to the birth of such person;
(f) a person of unknown parentage found in the United States while under the age of five years, until shown, prior to his attaining the age of twenty-one years, not to have been born in the United States;
(g) A PERSON BORN OUTSIDE THE GEOGRAPHICAL LIMITS OF THE UNITED STATES AND ITS OUTLYING POSSESSIONS OF PARENTS ONE OF WHOM IS AN ALIEN AND THE OTHER A CITIZEN OF THE UNITED STATES WHO PRIOR TO THE BIRTH OF SUCH PERSON WAS PHYSICALLY PRESENT IN THE UNITED STATES OF ITS OUTLYING POSSESSIONS FOR A PERIOD TOTALING NOT LESS THAN FIVE YEARS, AT LEAST TWO OF WHICH WERE AFTER ATTAINING THE AGE OF 14 YEARS.
Provided
, That any periods of honorable service in the Armed Forces of the United States, or periods of employment with the United States Government or with an international organization as that term is defined in section 288 of title 22 by such citizen parent, or any periods during which such citizen parent is physically present abroad as the dependent unmarried son or daughter and a member of the household of a person (A) honorably serving with the Armed Forces of the United States, or (B) employed by the United States Government or an international organization as defined in section 288 of title 22, may be included in order to satisfy the physical-presence requirement of this paragraph. This proviso shall be applicable to persons born on or after December 24, 1952, to the same extent as if it had become effective in its present form on that date; and
(h) a person born before noon (Eastern Standard Time) May 24, 1934, outside the limits and jurisdiction of the United States of an alien father and a mother who is a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, had resided in the United States.
Now, say you are soory, and move on.
Can you believe that agit-Prop headline? Of course you can...It’s Seth at the Washington Times GOPer Review!
Apparently you don’t know what the U.S. Code is, nor do you comprehend the written word. Either that or you are lying.
I don’t know what US code is?
Son, my life has revolved around U.S. Statutes and Codes for 54 years!
To help you,
“The Code of Laws of the United States of America (often abbreviated as “Code of Laws of the United States”, “United States Code”, “U.S. Code”, or “U.S.C.”) is the official written compilation, record and codification of the general and permanent federal statutes of the United States.”
You’re not a lawyer admitted to any Bar, are you?
Lawyer or not, with you now being aware of both the status of US Codes in general, and the exact reading of 1401 and thereafter, can you provide one legally sustainable fact that would sustain an advanceable argument that Sen Cruz is not a Natural Born Citizen.
If so, make your argument here. Don’t do a Trump and simply say.... No he is not.... Make your argument.
By the way, 1401 is the law of the land. The 1898 case Birters and Trumpsters love to cite is moot in view of 1401. It’s like Dred Scott. It was a SCOTUS decision long ago made irrelevant by current Stature/Code.
Either make your case, or give up.
2) You capitalized the entirety of (g) yet apparently do not comprehend it. You assert "The foreign-born child is a citizen AT the moment of birth". This is not true. If you understood (g) you would know that the foreign-born child of a citizen parent is not a citizen unless the citizen parent meets the requirements of statute.
Note that the foreign-born child of a citizen is not a citizen unless the citizen parent meets the requirements of this statute. The foreign-born child is not a citizen by birth, the foreign-born child is a citizen by this statute.

>> You haven’t been involved in politics long eh? <<
You must be a Canadian, eh? Anyway, I still don’t know what type of “PCP” you might be. But it’s really not a concern. So have a nice day.
PCP....in politics....PCP is....PRECINCT Committee Person...or PCO...Precinct Committee Officer....yeah...they are the base of each party, where local county Party officials get elected...and, then State Party officials including those pesky delegates....oh, and they fill empty State elected positions occasionally, too.
And, no...I’m not Canadian....just had to live there for 3 years. Have a good day.
