-- Don't you know that our presidential elections now have absolutely nothing to do with a candidates morals, beliefs, convictions, policies, historical record and abilities. --

Nor does it have anything to do, it seems, with adhering to the constitution. Everything you say here, I agree with.

-- Trump is a tv star, a WWF star, talks smack. Got it? --

I don't disagree with that either. I totally respect people being uneasy with Trump. There is good reason to be. Set him aside. There remains a question of whether the people will allow government offices to be occupied by people who are ineligible under our laws.

A person could be GREAT on the issue, a citizen of Dubuque - but the people of Springfield would not considered him qualified to be their mayor.

I'm not saying Cruz isn't American. But the constitution has a requirement that president be a natural born Citizen of the US. We should follow the law.

I wish it would get settled also. There are “legal” as well as non-legal experts that are all over the map on this. Now, if it does go to the SC and be settled in Cruz’s favor will that put an end to Trump and everybody else’s big mouths? No? I didn’t think so. However, if it goes the other way then it is over for Cruz, he goes home and it is a dead issue. But it will never be over if he prevails.

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?
