I knew Lisa Halaby in DC the ‘70s(she went to a Northern Virginia private high school with a friend of mine), before she married Hussein—yes she was a rich American girl—young woman—at the time, and using the theory that “Cruz is ‘natural born’ because only his mother was a US citizen and the citizenship of the father is moot”—much like those who discounted that Obama’s supposed father? was “Kenyan-British” , the former Halaby’s (now ‘Queen Noor’) Jordanian children would be as “natural born “ as Obama or born with Canadian citizenship—now an uncontested fact, since he publicly ‘renounced’ it in 2014—Cruz.
I guess your attitude toward NBC—which Cruz himself in an interview while running for Senate said was “born in the US of two citizen parents”—depends if this time around it is your ox being gored....
It amazes me that folks who are promoting Ted Cruz as a True Conservative would abandon original intent when interpreting the Constitution with respect to their candidate. The original intent for Natural Born Citizen born outside of US territory was through the father’s citizenship, not the mother’s. The evidence shows that Ted’s father was a Canadian citizen when Ted was born, in Canada. Ted has admitted to being a Canadian citizen up until 18 months ago.
Why do we need this kind of trouble with our nominee? Ted can spend some more time in the Senate, and then President Trump can appoint him to the Supreme Court. To me, this seems like a better use of talents.
