SCOTUS has ruled that there are only two kinds of citizens, citizens at birth and those who are naturalized. I doubt SCOTUS will take this up again, but nobody but a candidate has standing to bring a lawsuit.
If Trump wants to make an issue of it, why hasn’t he filed a lawsuit?
“If Trump wants to make an issue of it, why hasn’t he filed a lawsuit?”
i would erase the lingering doubt...that he himself has CAST on Cruz’s CANDIDACY
“we can’t have that can we..we can’t allow a TACTIC to turn into a..SETTLED issue”
>>> If Trump wants to make an issue of it, why hasn’t he filed a lawsuit?
I doubt he would want to do that. It would not serve him well.... However, if he did want to, he would only have to look at all the failed lawsuits (starting with Keyes) to discourage him from doing so.
Besides that, my point was NOT about Trump.
My point was about what the dems will do if and ONCE Cruz gets the GOP nod.
You think the dems would make this an issue now???? HELL NO... republicans are doing a much better job at it than they could ever hope to. RATHER... they would prefer to wait until the GOP would be left without a candidate in the 11th hour.
That’s my point... that is where we are vulnerable.
Are we safe based on precedence and what we think SCOTUS would do??? We are certainly not safe just because a Kenyan got away with it.... and McCain had a far better standing facing the test than Cruz will.
Yes, and in the same case (Kim Wong Ark) SCOTUS also explained that children of citizens born abroad are not citizens at birth (or by birthright, in other words) but by act of Congress and belong to the second category, naturalized.
Read the case. It is long, but not too hard.
