Since one of the child’s parents is a US citizen, yes, I’m fine with it.
As the law is written, they are citizens.
If I were living abroad and had a child, I would want my child to be eligible to serve. Just because the country I’m living in bestows the gift of their citizenship on them as well does not mean my child’s loyalties will be to that country. Particularly when we move back to the states a short time after they are born.
The intent of the founding fathers was very clear: flat out immigrants would have divided loyalties. My great grandfather/mother were immigrants from Eastern Europe in the early 1900s. They came to this country because of its freedoms. But they came as teenagers. They would have had divided loyalties.
Someone born a citizen would not. Their birthright citizenry satisfies the natural born clause. To argue otherwise is factually incorrect. There is no precedent, judicial ruling, or US law which states otherwise. You’re on the losing end of this argument. I’m sorry, but you just are.
So instead, let’s talk about how utterly unacceptable Donald Trump is as a candidate. Someone who stands for nothing but himself, who has nothing at his core to keep him grounded other than the love of himself.
Is that someone you want leading our country? Someone who has the record of some of even the most worst liberal democrats, with his hands in the pants of countless establishment characters with donations to back that up?
The man is corrupt and has zero business running for President, let alone the GOP nomination.
Fail, this does not prove that Cruz is eligible to be potus, and the dems will use it against him. For this reason, he is dangerous, and now he is being sued. What is Cruz hiding? He goes around with his mother’s birth certificate and his Canadian bc? I don’t trust him. How can he expect anyone to belive he didn’t know his Canadian bc was still valid? Why did he wait so long to renounce ? I do not want a lawyer as potus, or a senator as potus. He is not an effective senator, and I don’t trust lawyers.
