“I concede that if Obama is not removed because of his ineligibility than that provision of the USC will be rendered moot.”
Not moot until it is adjudicated.
Obama’s occupation of the office would have no bearing on future ineligible candidates or impostors.
But, Ted is more qualified than Obama as both Canada and Cuba are close and Cuba was under the protection at one point.
So far I like Cruz and his politics but I will not vote for him to be POTUSA. I cannot discard my belief that the Constitution makes specifically/deliberately a different recognition of ‘natural born citizen’ and just plain ‘citizen’. According to some people just being born in the USA makes a person eligible for POTUSA. In such a situation the two sons of the Muslim ex President Morsi of Egypt would be eligible by being born in the USA. I believe the Founders of our Nation were very concerned about such a situation and even more so about a a Muslim becoming POTUSA. An then there is this news about a black lady minister in Alabama saying Obama is eligible for POTUSA because he is married to a bona fide USA citizen. When the eligibility for POTUSA goes out of bounds of the Constitution it is necessary to look closely for the reason/purpose of being out of bounds.
Well, based on the typical pattern of conservatives, we’ll fight bitterly amongst ourselves over Cruz’s eligibility while liberals laugh at us and put their 2016 voter fraud plans into place. Meanwhile, as the conservatives rip each other to shreds and cannot coalesce around Cruz, the GOPe, with the help of Dems voting in Republican primaries, will slip in Jeb or Christie as the Republican nominee.
I think the point is moot here since I don’t see any credible evidence that Cruz is running for pres.
Rush is right. The Left will always tell you who they are most afraid of. I think the biggest obstacle for Cruz is the GOP-e. They hate him because he’s not a Bushie and has beaten some Bushie opponents before. It will be 30 years since Reagan when 2016 rolls around. That was the last time the GOP didn’t nominate the GOP-e candidate.
I believe he COULD.
However, the Republican Establishment will NEVER allow anyone like him to become the nominee.
NEVER again.
I hate to tell you, but you are honestly not 50 years behind where we are in the EU, you are much much closer than you think.
Don’t throw me in that briar patch Mr. Fox!
Yes but Ted Cruz was never naturalized. Know why? Because as a NBC he didn't need to be.
“Mr. McCain’s likely nomination as the Republican candidate for president and the happenstance of his birth in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936 are reviving a musty debate that has surfaced periodically since the founders first set quill to parchment and declared that only a “natural-born citizen” can hold the nation’s highest office.”
So I assume you voted for Obama?
Why does the state of Al Gore wish to rob Texas of our Senator?
NBC requires that one be actually born in the country. It’s radical, I know. Imagine that. Actually having to be born in America to run as the American president.
Rules are for saps.
A candidate who appears to be truly Conservative and aligned with Conservatives? For President? There will be lots of screaming about experience, foreign policy experience, and all the other blather. We need a real Conservative and only a real Conservative will be able to win.
John McCain wasn’t actually born in the country. Imagine that.
Others wish to deprive Texas of their most effective senator for a fools’ errand.
Last I checked the Canal Zone = part of America.
Imagine that.
Well, I did say 50 years "or less". Hoping I'm wrong (about the trend towards socialism) but afraid I'm right.
Yeah, CENTRAL America.
