I feel like we're getting backed into a constitutional corner by Cruz and Rubio here whereby we will have to accept that foreign born children (like Cruz) are natural born citizens and can be President of the United States or that anchor babies (like Rubio) are natural born citizens and can be POTUS.

If you accept that Obama's birth certificate was real, there has never been an openly foreign born POTUS or a POTUS born of two unnaturalized immigrants. but here we are.

It seems that, slowly, over the course of several elections, via precedents like this, the power of the Presidency will descend into the hands of foreigner powers or, at the very least, the opportunity will be created whereby such an event will become increasingly possible, if not probable.

American sovereignty is resented throughout the world. The world wants to take it away from us and they will never stop trying to do so.

This is exactly what article II, section I, clause 5 sought to prevent.

“This is exactly what article II, section I, clause 5 sought to prevent. “

It sought to prevent those of strong British heritage, the propensity of which did not fight on the side of the Colonists in the Revolutionary War, from being able to assume the most powerful position under the new Constitution that the Founding Fathers worked so hard to develop.

I expect that by 2020 El Chappo will run for president because his third wifes maid was born in Porto Rico.
