birth abroad to American parents

Problem is Ted didn't have American parents, he had an American parent and a Cuban parent. IOW, less eligible than Obama.

Cruz had American citizenship at birth. He was never naturalized. If he was not a natural born citizen, he would have had to have been naturalized years ago to be eligible to serve in the Senate. This didn't happen because his citizenship was intact from birth. Ted Cruz ia a natural born American.

Yes, just like Ted Cruz. But Cruz in known to have been born in Canada. And after all these years of discussion concerning Obama's birthplace, the only reasonably solid evidence is that he was born in Hawaii.

CATO institute has veered a lot into the far reaches of libertarian kookdom from what I’ve read (very sporadically) over the last few years.

IMHO if Cruz takes the bait that he’s a NBC, and being a Constitutional scholar or something, he ought to know better, then the Dems/leftist will, at the very last minute, pull out info proving that one must be born on US soil to be a NBC - jus solis, IIRC. Of course the researchers here know that to be a verity.

I am 100% sure of this. They will pull it out. And claim that Steaming is a NBC since his faux birth cert says “HI”. And now so many are running with this - Levin, for example, and a lot on FR will now focus their ire on anyone saying “Hey, he ain’t a NBC - foreign birth, foreign national father - two strikes!” We’re trolls, we’re dupes, we’re leftist traitors.

Anyone who thinks he’s a NBC is duped. And pretty soon there’ll be a long thread zotting anyone who says he isn’t, mark my words.

And then at the very last minute, after he’s gotten the nomination, a judge somewhere will make the decision that jus solis determines NBC status.

“If he was not a natural born citizen”

False. He’s a natural born citizen of Canada, by virtue of having been born in Alberta.

Bonus, they take him out of the Senate. That’s the plan. Just like the plan was to have Newt folding to Romney folding to Obama. Newt suckered in lots of folks in the primaries. But, he was essential in keeping conservatives just divided enough.

Except that does not pass the intent of the Founding Fathers.

What if Cruz becomes POTUS and a dust up occurs between the US and Canada, trade deals, business deals or what ever. Could Cruz be viewed as having a bias, perhaps a soft spot for his birth place?

Maybe he has a loyalty maybe he doesn’t, but it could easily be argued there is a conflict of interest there, something we should strive to avoid as the Founder did.

A person born to two citizen parents in this Country is no doubt a NBC, any other variance leave a doubt of loyalty and possible conflict of interest.

“This didn’t happen because his citizenship was intact from birth. Ted Cruz ia a natural born American”

No he is not a natural born Citizen. He is a dual Citizen with born allegiances to two sovereignties.

Here is what the principal framer of the 14th Amendment Rep John Bingham stated when defining a natural born Citizen:

“Every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.” (Cong. Globe, 39th, 1st Sess., 1291 (1866))

Ted Cruz born within the allegiance of a foreign sovereignty called Canada to a foreign national father who owed allegiance to foreign sovereignty called Cuba is again, not a natural born Citizen. Ted Cruz is just a statutory Citizen only eligible for the Senate or House of Representatives.

I’d vote for Cruz in a heartbeat if only to shove the Obama precedent back on the libs but I’m afraid that there are probably enough diehard “birthers” to make his path to victory problematic. What I’d love to see Ted Cruz do is use his possible candidacy as a teachable moment - releasing his college funding records for example and explaining that as a dual citizen he needed to show that he never received as aid as a foreign student or lived in the foreign student dorm.

CAT also supports Open Borders, Illegal Alien Amnesty, and economically destructive Free Trade policies. How people think the are anything conservative when they are quite liberal on most issues
