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.
Cognitive dissonance—and selective use of blinders—is the order of the day in the 2015 united States.
If Ted had two US citizen parents, he could be born elsewhere and be an NBC—alas, for his supporters, he had only an American mother and was born a Canadian—or, at best, a “dual citizen”, and acted as if he didn’t know his Canadian birth certificate made him a Canadian citizen until the Dallas daily paper wrote about it, and then nine months later, “renounced” it.
What a joke—the constitutional scholar Harvard Law graduate didn’t know he was a Canadian citizen?
