Donald Trump Ramps Up Attacks on Ted Cruz’s Eligibility

And, how does this, also, make the majority of general election voters decide to vote for Ted Cruz for ‘16 POTUS, on November ‘16, should Ted Cruz end up as the final GOP choice? The left will do all that they can do to derail Cruz (ditto, any other GOP candidate), even if they have to make things up. Dumb voters and/or ignorant voters are a high percent of total voter numbers, and the left will cheat, too, with dead voters, illegal immigrant pro-leftist voters, voters who will vote from more than one location, scaring off anti-left voters, voting machines which will “vote” for the Democrat, no matter what, activist pro-leftist judges who will overturn voting results that go against the left, all other possible ways of successful cheating by the left... Conservatives have to defeat all of these things, combined! Let’s all hope that happens, asap!

The issue is not whether Cruz is a citizen or not. He is a citizen, he is not a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. There is a difference, like it or not.

hundreds of lawsuits to compel Obama to present a US birth certificate

How soon we seem to forget and much to our chagrin that none, zero of those law suits ever made it to trial.

Nobama was compelled to fork over the fake BC due to public pressure, not any law suit.

There won’t be any suit getting to trial regarding Cruz either. Why? Because no one has STANDING. To have STANDING a plantiff must be able show the court that they have BEEN damaged, not maybe they are going to be damaged in the future. Just like nobama, in a legal sense, there is no prior damage (prior to his being sworn in as POTUS) to use for STANDNG.

Trump is doing Cruz a favor by preemptively exploding a bomb that the rats were saving for October. It’s almost like they are working together....

[X-spurt]

Until Cruz went zooming past him in Iowa. Suddenly it all Trump can think about and who does he turn to for Constitutional expertise? Lawrence Tribe. One of the worst of the worst liberal progressive Constitution haters who worked for klintoon.

So much for Trump’s conservative pretense.

[Jane Long]

LOL.

Trump didn’t solicit Tribe’s opinion.

[X-spurt]

Is Trump beginning to hand out Colorado pot?

Where did you dream up “did they move to Canada because he feared being drafted”? Cruz father was not eligible for the Draft to Viet Nam, he was not a USA citizen at that time.

Mr. Cruz was a Petroleum Engineer who was hired by a Canadian oil company.

Citizen by birth IS a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. Cruz IS a Natural Born Citizen through blood - his mom.

Constitutional experts, like Mark Levin, know Cruz is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN. In fact, even Alan Dershowitz says: “He’s a natural-born, not a naturalized, citizen.”

[Sun]

“....Conservatives have to defeat all of these things, combined! Let’s all hope that happens, asap!”

Yes, and we all can do our part by talking w/everyone we know (who has a brain), writing letters to editors, calling talk shows, etc. (especially if we live in swing states).

[truth_seeker]

Residents WERE eligable for the draft, not just citizens.

[KGeorge]

If I’m not mistaken, holders of green cards could be drafted. I need to double check. I read it in the past week, actually.

That was a very obtuse implication. Trump is vocally anti alcohol, drugs, & cigarettes. Most people know that. With his stamina, he’s a good ambassador for clean living.

[X-spurt]

Don’t try to play dumb, that’s reserved for the Waco biker gang groupie threads.

He sure has been quoting Tribe, just tonight in Clear Lake, Iowa probably 20 times.

[patlin]

Shapiro might have some big letters behind his name, however, he is not an educated constitutional scholar, he is nothing but a political hack of a DC lobbying firm that seeks to keep up that ‘hope & change’ that Obama promised ... the hope and change of re-writing the constitution to fit their political agendas.

“Subject to the Jurisdiction”: You Can’t Have It Both Ways UPDATED with 2 Official Proclamations From The US Administration of 1859”

“Why Liberals & So-Called Conservatives on Both Sides of the Aisle Despise the 14th Amendment”

excerpt from the 1859 Administration release that was published nationwide: “The question then arises, what rights do our laws confer upon a foreigner by granting him citizenship? I answer, all the rights, privileges and immunities which belong to a native-born citizen, in their full extent with the single qualification that under the constitution, “no person except a natural born citizen is eligible to the office of President…”

“Here none but a native can be President…A native and a naturalized American may therefore go forth with equal security over every sea and through every land under Heaven…They are both of them American citizens, and their exclusive allegiance is due to the Government of the United States. One of them never did owe fealty elsewhere, and the other, at the time of his naturalization…threw off, renounced and abjured forever all allegiance to every foreign prince, potentate, State and sovereignty whatever, and especially to that sovereign whose subject he had previously been.”

This 1859 OFFICIAL release from the US Govt was still being quoted by Harvard Law School when Ted Cruz was born!!! So unless there has been some ‘hope & change’ since then in the form of a constitutional amendment, Crus IS NOT constitutionally qualified to be president or vice president.

Going to drag some quote in, its a good idea to include the source, not just “I heard it at the bus stop”.

[X-spurt]

Back it up, show us, give one verifiable example.

[patlin]

And FYI, you better go back and reread that 1790 Naturalization Act because you missed the fact that in 1790 and until after WWII, the wives and children of marriages held the citizenship of the husband/father. I guess you missed that part where is says that children of fathers who failed to naturalize could at the age of 21, apply for US citizenship. Of course today, the age is lowered to 18.

“The issue is not whether Cruz is a citizen or not. ....”

Cruz IS a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN, just like most of the USA.

Cruz, and most of us, are NATURAL BORN CITIZENS because we were citizens at birth.

You are confusing naturalized citizens with NATURAL BORN CITIZENS.

People become NATURALIZED citizens AFTER their birth.

Cruz and I, and maybe you, and most of the country never had to becom naturalized because we were already citizens right at our birth making most of us NATURAL BORN CITIZENS, eligible to be POTUS.

[KGeorge]

It wasn’t at a bus stop. :rolls eyes: Like y’all ever have sources for your specious nonsense.

[patlin]

And here US Government PROOF that FOXNEWS is nothing but a propaganda mouth piece for the establishment that is hiding the FACT that Cruz DOES NOT qualify:

You're the knot-head, refusing the definition of "natural born citizen" CLEARLY DEFINED by our FOUNDING FATHERS !

Ted Cruz's PARENTS fulfilled ALL those requirements of the law that time, for Ted Cruz to be a "Natural Born Citizen".
Ted Cruz did NOT NEED a Court and a Judge to "Nationalize" him.

“Senator Cruz became a U.S. citizen at birth, and he never had to go through a naturalization process after birth to become a U.S. citizen,” said spokeswoman Catherine Frazier.
... The U.S. Constitution allows only a “natural born” American citizen to serve as president.
Most legal scholars who have studied the question agree that includes an American born overseas to an American parent, such as Cruz.

Oh, one more thing:
