Never implied that Cruz was not a citizen. I don’t think he’s the kind of person to claim to be something he’s not, even in campaign mode.
The year the video was made doesn't change what he's talking about.
...and what Cruz was covered under was the law at his time of birth.
Well that brings us right back to my original question which you've yet to answer...
Why would an immigration (positive) law be needed by someone who was supposed to already be a citizen through natural law?
Early 1800s: A child is born to an American couple returning to America from England on a Dutch cutter...
The technicality says the boat is Dutch soil. Is the child Natural Born?
We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Search youtube, it might be on there. It was a news report on TV. Don’t believe me, I don’t care.
No, answer the question. It is pertinent. It happened all the time. Is a child born on a foreign ship to American citizens Natural Born, or not?
And you have some chutzpah, ordering me around. Buzz off. I think you are annoying.
I will say one more time, the congress has changed the laws several times since 1790. Just wait and let the SC decide and drop it until then. Nothing your or I could say will change the others minds so what is the purpose? We both know it will go to court. I just hope the SC accepts it and it does not have to go thru all the lower courts for months. Find out as soon as possible.
“The technicality says the boat is Dutch soil. Is the child Natural Born? “
Yeah, but Ted Cruz was born in Canada to a mother and father that had established Canadian citizenship. Yes, both of Cruz’s parents were Canadians citizens at the time of his birth.
No, it's one of the reasons exceptions to the rule were proposed. Travel was slow and arduous. Penalizing a child for being born enroute is absurd on it's face. Such a child is native born. Citizenship was not inferred by the Dutch government. The child assumed the status of his parents.
I have seen no evidence in that regard.
Just wait and let the SC decide and drop it until then.
Nah, you can drop it if you want, I'll keep pressing the issue.
Nothing your or I could say will change the others minds so what is the purpose?
Rhetorical question so no answer required, but I'll comment that that's rather presumptive so speak for yourself, not me.
We both know it will go to court.
I'm no prognosticator so I'll leave the guessing to you. However, no nomination no court case to bring.
I just hope the SC accepts it and it does not have to go thru all the lower courts for months.
All such hope is lost. It will have to proceed up the food chain to some extent.
Sadly, I think that is correct.
I remember years ago Senator Rudy Boschwitz (who was born somewhere outside of the US) was always saying that he was the only Senator who didn’t think he could be President.
He said he knew he couldn’t be President, b/c he was born outside of the US. His point was that he was a better Senator, b/c he wasnt looking at the next rung on the ladder.
In any event...just an anecdote that is sort of relevant here.
I am not a lawyer, obviously, but did he have to wait for somebody to file a case like the lawyer in Houston did last week? Otherwise what process would he do in order to get a decision out of the SC? And of course, nobody is going to be satisfied by any decision by a lower court.
A so called declarotory (sp) ruling as Trump has talked about for a few weeks now would not have any authority. A SC ruling is going to be the only final ruling that nobody could appeal and it would be the end of it, one way or the other.
Oh i see. wasn’t sure about the acronym. I get it. By the way...just so you know. I don’t consider him, Rubio, Sanders, or Trump to be eligible to run for president. Not a one of them meets the “natural born” requirement.
I don’t know anything about Sanders other than he’s a confirmed communists or socialist (same difference) & a perv. Trump’s mother was naturalized, IIRC, 4 years before he was born, so not sure why you’d say him. . .
But now, I’m curious. If you’ve chosen a candidate, who is it? If you don’t mind me asking. (I kept up with Doughty One’s straw poll yesterday & it was interesting to me that Rubio got 1, Rand Paul got 5, Santorum & Ben Carson got 2 each at the point I stopped following. I could swear Bush got 1, but when I went back over the votes, I couldn’t find it.
I didn’t notice/ note who voted for them, but I kinda wish I had because I’d be interested in what they think about things beyond their candidates. What’s important to them & if it’s not obvious, why? I’m interested in their point of view
Their voices aren’t really heard (?) over the Trump/ Cruz battles going on.
Many thanks for that info!
We have an authentic birth cert for Ted and info that his mom registered with the consulate.
So he had & has a US passport. Thus he’s a citizen.
All we have from 0 is a forged birth cert, no info as to where and with what consulate his birth was registered, and thus a bogus us passport. No way is 0 a US citizen.
