“The question is anything but open-and-shut,” said Tribe. “In no possible sense has this issue been settled, either by the Supreme Court or political process or by popular consensus.”
Obfuscation by Tribe who is not ignorant of the Bellei case. He was just hoping that they got to use it rather than the true constitutional conservative Republicans rub their liberal noses in it. But not just Tribe, this speaks volumes as to the credibility of Mark Levin!!!
Our Constitution was based upon Natural Law. After all, a “natural born Citizen” was made by nature at the time of birth and could not be so made by any law of man. A “natural born Citizen” is a child born in the United States by two citizen parents. Period.
Actually you will find that it has, in large part, been settled by popular consensus. Just read the dozen resolutions (since the 70s) that were before Senate hearings.
In each one it is made clear that at the minimum birth in the US, otherwise known as native birth, is a requirement to qualify. Soooo, if our senators, historians, teachers, various scholars, etc. ALL conceded to that requirement, how on earth can any self-respecting individual claim that there has not been a popular consensus? It’s bizarre. Anyway, Tribe stated not long ago that under the ORIGINALIST intent in the Constitution, Cruz would not be eligible.
