Ted Cruz dismisses ‘SWAMP THEORIES’ about his citizenship
The Right Scoop ^ | Jan 9, 2016 | soopermexican

I’m kinda surprised that Jake Tapper pursued this line of questioning against Ted Cruz, but he hit it out of the park.

Watch below:

Ted Cruz dismisses citizenship 'swamp theories' (Video)

It really is ridiculous and it’s not surprising that his opponents are pushing this issue when he is winning in Iowa.

Then you can stop worrying.

Interesting you should try to dismiss me that way. I don't seem to remember initiating a conversation with you. Nor do I remember expressing any concerns or doubts. I find myself wondering if this is what your walk of shame looks like.

Please show us any text in the Constitution that says that two citizen parents are required for a child to be a Natural Born Citizen.


I’m old school, (saw the Beatles in concert) and I’m not sophisticated enough to know how to cut and paste to FR. You will have to settle for: scribd.com, In search, type in; Citizenship Terms used in the US Constitution, 5 terms defined and legal reference. When pulled up, Bottom category with reference in right column.
It’s all there..let me know what you find..thanks.

Prove that his father was a US citizen at the time of his birth.
It is well known that his father was not a US citizen at the time. And it is also equally well known that the fact that his father was not a citizen has no impact on Ted’s status. Ted is a US citizen at birth through his mother - that is all that is required.


please see my post #183

I asked where it was defined in the Constitution. There are obviously many different documents that have different interpretations of the terms. You are asking me to accept your source as definitive, and it obviously is not - otherwise, you would not have so many legal and Constitutional experts that disagree with your definition. The point is that there is nothing in the Constitution that specifies that NBC requires two citizen parents.

I’m not asking you to accept my “source as definitive”. You can believe what you want.
I do believe however, that we are having this dialogue because there is an issue with Cruz’s pedigree. Cruz needs to show some leadership and either step up and demand the courts provide a resolution ASAP, or stand aside.
Jughead made us look like fools over this same issue..I would hope Cruz is cut from a finer cloth,..maybe not. If he does not show some maturity and resolve this, the dems will, once again to our detriment.

It has already been resolved.

Oh, for heaven’s sake. Nobody is disputing whether or not Cruz is a CITIZEN..he is, and always has been. The only issue is whether or not he meets the NATURAL BORN CITIZEN threshold to qualify for President or Vice President.
He needs to step up and end this. If he doesn’t, the dems will raise the issue at the last moment and the great unwashed will be swayed to vote for their candidate, so we can at least have an election. We will once again be duped. If Cruz let’s this drag on, he is only adding to the doubt.
