Deferments Helped Trump Dodge Vietnam
APRIL 28--Despite Donald Trump’s claim this week that he avoided serving in the Vietnam War solely due to a high draft number, Selective Service records show that the purported presidential aspirant actually received a series of student deferments while in college and then topped those off with a medical deferment after graduation that helped spare him from fighting for his country,
For persons born between December 24, 1952 and November 14, 1986,
a person is a U.S. citizen if all of the following are true...
..For persons born out-of-wedlock (mother) if all the following apply:
1. the mother was a U.S. citizen at the time of the person's birth and
2. the mother was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year prior to the person's birth.
If you only passed down citizenship via one person, that would mean there are tons of US citizens now in countries were we have had US tourists and US servicemen. Tons little citizens running around from hookers.
“Which I wouldn’t have to explain if you would JUST READ THE ARTICLE”
You must be new here.
Don’t sweat it. The courts will settle it and we can move forward.
Canadian citizens just go to the voting station and identify themselves .Their name is stroked off the list and they’re are given a ballot.
In those days , before computers, the enumerators went door to door for every federal election updating voting lists.
A friend moved here from Holland in 1970 and was enumerated for the 1972 federal election. He wasn’t home, his Canadian born wife gave them her name and that of her husband and he was on the list.
The enumerators, (2 local ladies ) never bothered to ask for citizenship. I suspect that happened a lot.
And this was more a list of residents, not registered voters. Mrs. Cruz wasn’t actually eligible for Canadian citizenship. Folks who continue on this issue no longer are serious.
They did in 1974, though not any more.
Prior to an election, enumerators used to go door to door collecting names of voters. This hasn't been done on the national level for almost 20 years, since Elections Canada started compiling voter lists from electronic records such as tax rolls and driver's licences.
Yes! Just like the Republicans did with Obama. Oh! Wait! that was a roll over event. The Dems have been using Republicans like a rolling pin for decades.
If Cruz has graduated those institutions as a liberal, I would understand your issue. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Re:”I like Cruz, but the fact he went to Princeton and Harvard automatically disqualifies him from my vote.”
The fact that you post drivel like that disqualifies you from being a conservative; or anything more than a trumphole or commie POS for that matter. People pushing this failed birther narrative are nothing more than steaming piles of human excrement. You are the fly on top.
Do you want their divorce decree, too?
If they voted for Pierre Trudeau, Ted better quit now.
No, this is a enumerated list of voters. Canadians don’t have to register to vote. Just show up , identify themselves, mark the ballot , drop it in the box and get on with living.
Is Cruz a “natural born” citizen of the U.S. or Canada ?
Or do you think the framers inserted the “natural born” clause thinking it could be applied to two countries at once ? I don’t.
” received a series of student deferments while in college”
So did I, as did the other young men at Kent State. It was extremely common! Eventually took the physical, and was 1Y, I think it was called? Heart murmur.
Yeah, who wants a president that is an achiever and successful? By the way, Don Trump is an Ivy League graduate, too.
This was actually something like our census.
This does not mean the mother must be in the US for the year immediately prior to the birth - it just means she must have lived in the US for at least one full year at some point prior to the birth. Since Ted's mother was raised in the US, she obviously met that requirement.
Oh yeah, those nasty bone spurs in his foot that he never had removed, that magically went away.
