“When Levin started ranting about “naturalized born citizens” I knew he had lost his mind.”

So an expert on the constitution says something you don’t like, and now he’s lost his mind?

“naturalized born citizens”? Really?

He deliberately misstates the requirements of Art II to intentionally mislead the public. Yeah, he’s lost his mind.

Anyone that thinks the son of a Cuban, born in Canada is a natural born citizen of the USA as the founders understood natural born citizen is not expert on our Constitution.

Ted Cruz would not even have been a citizen of the USA before 1934. So how can someone the founders would not even considered a citizen be a natural born citizen?

"Prior to May 24, 1934, U.S. citizen mothers were not permitted to transmit U.S. citizenship to their children born abroad. The Act of May 24, 1934 (the "1934 Statute") gave U.S. citizen mothers equality of status regarding their ability to transmit U.S. citizenship. However the provision was not applied retroactively. Therefore, children born before May 24, 1934 to a U.S. citizen mother and an alien father did not acquire U.S. citizenship."

As a years-long Mark Levin fan, my issue with him is that he has become a Cruz cheerleader, yet pretends to have not taken a side.

As to the natural born citizen issue, every time Levin talks about it, he leaves out that Cruz' father was a Cuban immigrant who had not yet become an American citizen when Ted Cruz was born. Yet, the era of the Framers consistently references children "born to American parents" or born on U.S. soil. It's just a disingenuous omission on the part of Mark Levin, who normally crosses every "t" and dots every "i" when making arguments. And he makes this omission purposefully each time he repeats that there is no issue with Ted Cruz and the natural born issue, because he is advocating for Cruz. But if it was Jeb Bush, John Kasich, or even Donald Trump, who was born in Canada and had a foreign-born father, he would be the first to point out that it doesn't meet the standard set by the Framers.

Levin is a self-proclaimed expert. He isn't actually an expert.
