CHARITON, Iowa — They usually mean no offense, but every now and then, supporters of Ted Cruz bring up The Question.

“I’m sure you’re aware that the Constitution requires the president to be a natural-born citizen,” David Bishop, a teacher, told Cruz during a stop Saturday night in this small southern Iowa city. “Don’t get this wrong: I’m supporting your candidacy, but I hope this doesn’t become an issue for you.”(continued)

Had he made up a load of crap and had he had the MSM in his back pocket it wouldn’t be an issue.

John McCain was born in Panama but nobody seriously questioned his eligibility to run for President.

George Romney was a front runner in the 1968 Republican primaries, and was born in Mexico of American parents. Nobody seriously questioned his eligibility, or sought to keep him off the election ballot.

Ted Cruz is an American citizen based on his mother’s American citizenship. He did not have to go through the naturalization process to become a citizen. Thus, many believe he is a natural born citizen based on that.

Have the courts ever tackled a case dealing with the definition of a “natural born citizen”?

Obama’s only claim to eligibility is that he had one parent who was a US citizen.

Cruz meets that criteria.

Case closed.

Ted is no more a Natural Born Citizen than Obama. Both parents must be citizens.

Congress actually “approved” McCain’s eligibility because he was born on a US military base. Don’t tell me these people aren’t pre-selected. This was also done because they knew Obama would be running. If it got to hot McCain’s eligibility would make Obama’s INeligibility a moot issue. See how it works?

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Cruz have full Canadian citizenship from birth as well?

“Ted is no more a Natural Born Citizen than Obama. Both parents must be citizens.”

That is exactly the point. The only way to beat liberals is to beat them at their own game.

If they object to Ted Cruz then rub Shitbama in their nose. They can’t complain about Obama they can’t complain about Cruz. It would be an object lesson on why you need to follow the rules.

According to Chapter 19, §212 of "Law of Nations", "The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country of parents who are citizens". The concept "Natural born citizen" is a twofold criterion meaning that:

Both parents must be the citizens of, and the birth must take place in the concerned country, assuming that the citizenship inherited by this child and the loyalty are never changed ever after.
