This issue is becoming a parody of itself.

And Ann has all of the classic symptoms of Ted Derangement Syndrome.

The difference is Obama’s mother was too young to confer citizenship. Cruz’s mother was not too young to confer it. She overlooks this.

“If Ted Cruz is a “natural-born citizen,” eligible to be president, what was all the fuss about Obama being born in Kenya? No one disputed that Obama’s mother was a U.S. citizen.”

Until someone proves different, Obama was born in Hawaii.

It was only about two years ago when she said birthers were “Conspiracy nutcases”.

Correcto mundo. She needs to go back outside and have another cigarette and whiskey sour. The sunset of her career has arrived, just like Sarah’s.

To me, it is enough of an issue to BE an issue in the general election. It IS something the democrats will use. Period.

The difference Ann is we KNOW where Ted Cruz was born. We have definitive records. No one questions it. With Obama we did not know where he was born we did not have definitive records and many people questioned it.........

It is convenient for her to feel differently now.

All thats necessary to test the veracity of this issue is to note the political bent of those who continually harp on it.

They have every reason to drag this into court. They have everything to gain and nothing to lose.

Conservatives: The case against Coulter as 'conservative'

Ann Coulter: Ted Cruz is a Disaster, Says Romney Best Candidate for 2016

"The portrait depicts the governor seated at the front edge of his desk wearing his trademark business suit. Beside him is a small framed photo of his wife, Ann, and ... [wait for it] ... a copy of the health care reform law he called his greatest achievement.

Last shred of respect for Ann gone.

She knows full well the answer to this:
“If Ted Cruz is a “natural-born citizen,” eligible to be president, what was all the fuss about Obama being born in Kenya? No one disputed that Obama’s mother was a U.S. citizen.”

According to immigration law over-written in 1986, a mother had to reside in the United States for five years past her fourteenth birthday for her foreign-born child to be a U.S. citizen at birth. Obama’s mom was only 18. His citizen rested on being born in the U.S.

Contrarily, Ted Cruz’ Mom was plenty old enough. He was a citizen at birth no matter where his Mom resided at the time.

By the way, notice in that Act what “Natural-born” citizen means: someone who is a citizen at birth. As Canadian statutory law, it certainly doesn’t establish precedent for U.S. Constitutional law, but it certainly shows what the ordinary meaning of a phrase which has passed out of common usage was.

I’m beginning to think Ann lives socialized medicine.

Then there is precedence. As she said... if Obama was eligible, Ted is eligible. I want the best constitutionalist in the race.

Nobody argues he is a citizen, they are asking if he was a Natural Born Citizen without being born in America. He blew it when he did not explain it at the debate why he is Natural Born.

Pray America wakes

Canadian law has no effect on US law and therefore is irrelevant to the discussion.
