Ted Cruz’s citizenship continues to be a topic of discussion in the 2016 race, and it seems its one issue in which the far-left and the far-right might agree.
At the heart of the issue is the definition of “natural born citizen.” While many consider that to mean that one must be born inside of the country in order to serve in the Oval Office, others claim that one is natural born if you have citizenship at birth. The latter theory is backed up somewhat by the nominations of both John McCain and George Romney, both of which were born outside of this country’s borders.
However, since neither man made it to the White House, no Supreme Court case has ever been brought forth that specifically tackled the issue. As such, both sides continue to wage a war of opinion.
You can find the interview on the next page:
Sandra Doran Moses Vona I don’t understand how this interloper has been allowed to by pass Congress repeatedly, ignore the will of the people, spend taxpayer funds for himself and that whatever it is he’s married to . Bush went to his ranch in Texas, Bush Sr went to his home in Maine, never paid attention to where Billy the rapist went, but it didn’t cost us millions of dollars for a yearly vacation in Hawaii. Why doesn’t this little pansy go to Chicago to his house? I can’t be the only person to question all these vacations and why we have to pay for them. Can’t we have a class action suit to demand that he repay America for all these vacations and trips for the thing and the kids and grandma?
So much for truth and action.
If this scholar is correct, and I believe he is, Rubio, Cruz, and Trump are all ineligible. Lawyers have done their best to blur the lines of who is qualified. Yes, someone born in a foreign country to a US citizen mom or dad IS an American Citizen. But they are NOT a “natural born citizen.” That is only the case when BOTH mom and dad are American Citizens. The rule was devised to ensure whom ever occupied the big chair would have no divided loyalties as demonstrated by the current occupant.
Obama was born in Kenya.
He was born in Canada, which puts this at question to start. .Cruz had only one parent that was America. By law you need both. That is what this Constitutional scholar is saying. This would be the first time in US history this would really be changed.
Who can unseal his college records.
NATURAL BORN CITIZEN means born within the boundaries of the US to two parents who are BOTH US Citizens. Only a NBC can be president. Cruz is NOT ELIGIBLE.
Trump all the way for the USA!
Cruz is as eligible to be president as Obama. So, why were you not on the Obama case when it was in the news and he was obviously not eligible to be president. Why were you QUIET THEN.. IS IT BECAUSE YOU ARE A DEMOCRAT.?????
really well if that is the case and I am sure the scholar is right,,, then Obama should have never ever been elected or allowed to run,, his fater was a muzz.
