In 2008, the democrat run senate attempted to derail McCain over the natural born citizen issue.
The test the DEMOCRATS applied then against McCain WAS 1. Born on US Soil and 2. BOTH parents US Citizens.
THAT was the test applied to McCain IN CONGRESS (even though Obama was never even challenged there OR by SCROTUS.
Question 1: Can Cruz pass the same senate test as McCain did? McCain was born on a military installation(US soil) to 2 citizen parents.
Question 2: If Democrats were brazen enough to apply the common law definition to McCain while not to Obama, Do we really think they will not attempt to apply it to Cruz???
Don’t get me wrong... I really do want Cruz to be president.
I don’t trust Trump... leaving nobody else I can think of...
But I don’t think this is as settled as most republicans seem to think it is.
Cruz IS vulnerable according to what happened in the senate with McCain in 2008... NOT because of what DIDN’T happen to Obama.
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?
Actually, I believe McCain was born in a Panamanian hospital, but not on base.
