Many made the case here about Obama.
Now they ignore the Constitution for Cruz.
Go figure.

I don’t think Ted Cruz can even run for President until he can assure Republican voters that being born in Canada is not a problem. Doubt!

and another post about Cruz’s citizenship!
Settled. Nonissue.
I fully expect that within a week, the Cruzers are going to start arguing that since Obama got a bye, so should Cruz, and then we can call it even.
Why doesn’t the Donald sue and have the court slap him down?
Answer - he doesn’t like to waste money and his attorneys already told him Cruz is a naturally born citizen.
But it does get the Trump cult excited, doesn’t it?
So much for Donald’s word. Earlier this year he was saying that he had talked to the best lawyers and it wasn’t an issue.
A President Trump would release the real info on Obama.
Some might be using Cruz to prep for that. Tribe said McCain was eligible.
It's not rocket surgery.
It might take me a day or two, and I'm not even a legal guy.
OK, a week. :)
Examine the intent of the Founders, and examine the background of the candidate.
Obama's background should have raised ALL kinds of flags, but The Uniparty Media deliberately ignored the issue.
Of course, when it comes to Cruz, they'll write newspaper issues with 4 front pages decrying the "ineligibility" of Cruz, if it's to their advantage.
It's not going away!
Now we know who NBC isn't voting for...
Ted needs to simply say that he is qualified to be President as Obama. If he is not qualified then neither is Obama.
Sauce for the Goose is sauce for the gander.
Obama does not meet the qualifications for NBC. Rub the demodogs face in it.
Trump should sue both Cruz and Rubio and let the courts decide the issue.
Cruz was born in Canada to a U.S. citizen mother. Rubio was born in America, but neither of his parents were citizens at the time (anchor baby).
A naturalized citizen is a person who was born an alien, but has lawfully become a citizen of the United States under the U.S. Constitution and laws.
Cruz was born an alien but made a citizen through law (Congress).
This whole “citizen at birth” interpretation makes no sense really. If there is anything that would’ve certainly been odious to the Founders as they conceived this provision, it would’ve been dual citizenship. For sure, someone born as a dual citizen would have been exactly the kind of person that they would’ve sought to exclude. So just “citizen at birth” means nothing unless it’s also joined to a concept of “undivided citizenship at birth”.
So why did the Founders even bother creating a judicial branch then, if everything was “settled”. The only person who says this is settled is Ted Cruz and those who support him.
Come back in a week and see if we’re still talking about this. Or a month.
I'm what you would term a "Trumpkin".
Read my post #10. :)
Guess you were not here in 2008!
Other than weirdo conspiracy theories there is really no question that Obama was born in Hawaii. (It was in the paper).
What was the Obama birther controversy about, if there is nothing to it, because it consumed Free Republic.
Also, remember Trump was the only one who finally got Obama to cough up his long form birth certificate, so he’s not a Johnny-come-lately to this issue.
