Once again, no it doesn't. It means born a citizen, that's all. The intent was to keep the Arnold Swartzeggers from being President. Your claims at the supposed "original intent" of the Constitution are agenda driven (you want Trump), not based on reality, logic, or the Constitution. You and Trump should focus on the issues of the campaign not shameful horsefeces attacks meant to trick the ignorant.

Take Trump off the ballot.... since you have deceived yourself that is my agenda.

In what is now called middle school, it was required to take a test on the US Constitution. In preparation of taking that test, requirements to hold the office of president were discussed. I was born in Germany, to two citizen parents.. my father first served in the Korean War and then was stationed in Germany. Germany was never considered US soil. I learned that I was NOT natural born. Only my parents could pass that standing on to me. This was before Cruz was ever birthed in Canada.

Cruz was touted as following 'original intent' of the Constitution.. It was Cruz NOT Trump that claimed that Rubio, Jindal, I think he even threw Santorum in the mix as having eligibility questions when asked by the debate moderator. Trump kindly recommended he get it cleared up, did not want to take a risk, since liberals were already planning to file suit.

Then the smartest guy in America snarled that even Trump's eligibility could be questioned because of Trump's mother. Those words were a flat out lie, and it was then and there I knew Cruz knew that he is NOT eligible.

Presently, I have NO clue who will be on the Missouri ballot, so I do not know who I will vote for or against.

Sounds like you received your holy voter guide and Trump is not holy enough..

"Take Trump off the ballot ... since you have deceived yourself that is my agenda."

So you say. But he is on the ballot, isn't he? And you are for him as far as I can tell, and I can't take him off (or I would and then 90% of the site would be for Cruz over the rest of the pack and birthers would get zotted). So I'm afraid I can't give you the benefit of the doubt.

It's certainly HIS agenda, he clearly doesn't give a rat's behind about the constitution, he cares about using any means necessary to beat Cruz. In the same breath he (until recently) suggested Cruz should be his VP, an office with same requirements as President. Slimey, four-flushing, and disgusting.

I don't know what you "learned in school" from your presumably long dead middle school teachers. I "learned" from my teacher that if you were cut in outer space your blood would be blue, needless to say that isn't true as unoxygenated human blood is not blue, ignorant people only assume it is cause the veins appear blue. I also learned that Columbus had a tough time finding sponsors for his voyage cause (educated) people still thought the Earth was flat, a falsehood.

Cruz was born in 1970, under the law at the time he was a citizen at birth though his mother who met all the necessary qualifications, he was not and did not need to be naturalized and therefore was a NATURAL BORN citizen.

About Cruz's comments re Trump's mother, on this very website I've read birther theories that to be "natural born" both parents need to be natural born too, you see the stupid theories about the "real meaning" of "natural born" are MADE UP and thus NOT CONSISTENT. Under that extreme stupid birther theory, Trump would be out. Cruz only mentioned it because Trump started in with the stupid birther nonsense and he was perfectly justified in doing so. It illustrates how stupid this nonsense is.

As for my feelings about Trump, which I can tell you are not informed by religion since I'm not very religious, it's no secret, I'm against him. He's about my 9th choice for the nomination. I don't believe that he would govern as a conservative, or that he is a strong GE candidate. His ridiculous campaigning, especially this birther bilge (and also his repeating of debunked democrat lies about Scott Walker) has only decreased my already low opinion of him. I believe he will literally say anything to win, I expect a lot of left of center noises aimed at union voters if he wins the nomination.
