Cruz was a us citizen at birth, therefore a natural born citizen. I dare anyone to tell me what year Cruz was naturalized.

Well, it’s certainly a mute point after the Muslim ass that we have in office now, but I think it’s clear that he is not a natural born citizen in the way it was intended by our founding fathers.

You’re right, but if he runs and gets the nomination we’re gonna hear about this issue for six months from the entire MSM.

Natural born citizen and, naturalized citizen and native born citizen are not all the same thing. Natural born citizen would have been born on the soil of the country and have both parents as citizens. Otherwise, the founders would not have needed to exempt themselves from that presidential requirement since they obviously became citizens with the establishment of the Constitution.

Sigh... that’s the complete opposite of what we said about Hussein. Same situation.

We can all debate what the founding fathers meant by natural born citizen. But it seems clear that in reality, nobody is going to challenge Ted Cruz on this issue. A few cases were briught into court regarding Obama but those cases were quickly dismissed.

if Cruz is eligible, even tho he was born in canada to a foreign national parent, then so is Benjamin Netanyahu

none of which will make a bit of difference if he chooses to run, once the opposition research teams go to work on it, with the joyful assistance of the media.

I believe you are exactly right.
I also believe that we longer have that requirement after the current Pres__ent.
I further believe Ted Cruz is the guy to right the ship if it is possible.

Well, if the Framers intended “natural born citizen” to mean something other than “citizen at birth,” they failed to leave evidence.

“Obama” isn’t even a citizen. He’s an illegal alien with a crudely forged birth certificate that carries the typefaces of six different typewriters.

I’ll vote for Ben.

Constitutional rule of law is dead. Either we grab power any way we can or the muzzies / perverts / commies will.

Neither of his parents were American citizens, unlike Senator Cruz, so far as I can tell from researching it. How do you figure he’s eligible?
