I have yet to see anything I regard as unassailable proof that he was actually born in Hawaii. Hawaii has a peculiar law which allows the issue of birth certificates to people who were not actually born there.
Have you seen this?
This is part of a law book which sums up the work of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania regarding which British Statutes were in effect in Pennsylvania. Here is the title page of the book.
Here is the link to it if you want to see the book yourself. It was in high demand, and they had to print another addition of it in 1847.

I'm pretty certain that Cruz's status is NOT a gray area. He must either be ruled a non "natural born citizen", or the Supreme Court has to overturn Rogers v Bellei, because Bellei and Cruz have exactly the same legal circumstances of birth.
Bellei's citizenship was revoked because he did not adhere the requirements of the Congressional Statute which granted citizenship to those born in a foreign country of at least one American parent.
It is axiomatic that a "natural born citizen" cannot have his citizenship revoked for failing to adhere to the requirements of a congressional statute which granted him citizenship. A "natural" citizen needs no positive law to be a citizen. Any citizen who is only a citizen through the operation of some positive law, is not a "natural" citizen.
Rogers v Bellei proves he is not. It's not going to matter how brilliant he is, the precedent is against him.
This is simple. If you have to think about it, you’re not.
(natural born citizen, that is.)
Keep doing what he's doing, he's got my vote and a little change from my pocket.
Stay the conservative course Ted, you're shining.
It’ set by the Constitution at noon on January 20. But close ;)
To say the least “this” is a subject of much conjecture.
Both of you and some others here have good points, the problem as I see it is that until such time as a bonafide NBC case gets to AND is heard by the SCOTUS, none of the arguments matter to a hill of beans as to Law.
No one has been able to get anything toward nobama’s NBC to the SCOTUS and if there were ever high motivation it is here.
Who would challenge Cruz’s NBC? I think not the Left for they will avoid any chance everything done by nobama being subject to deletion if its ever proven he was not eligible.
Cruz was born in Canada. No one knows where 0mozlem was born, who his real parents are, what is his DOB, or what his name was at birth. A mythical tale and forged documents are all he’s presented.
Those who disagree are stupid idiots.
YES, that is what you are.
You have NO authority at all, on your side. Not a single elected official supports you, not a single Judge supports you, not a single immigration attorney supports you.
I support Cruz for many reasons, one of the most important reasons being:
I WANT TO DEFEAT YOU IDIOT BIRTHERS!
You do not speak for the Conservative cause. Birtherism was started by HILLARY CLINTON!
You are wrong.
Cruz CAN run.
You have absolutely no authority on this issue.
There are some things that are known about ( )o( )bama that will never change.
Those who disagree are stupid idiots.
YES, that is what you are.
My my my. Wonder who made you the Pope?
Name a SINGLE elected official on your side?
Name a SINGLE judge on your side?
Name a SINGLE conservative leader on your side?
Yes, radical birthers are idiots. They are ignorant of the law, willfully ignorant. There is absolutely NOTHING “conservative” about the radical Birthers.
Yes, I have great suspicions about Obama’s past, but it is SETTLED law that those born of US Parents, CAN be Natural Born Citizens even if not born on US Soil.
Cruz met the requirements for Citizenship at birth, based on the laws in place when he was born.
PERIOD!
Again, present an AUTHORITY on this issue or please shut up.
That statement is correct. But only one of Cruz's parents was a US citizen when he was born.
Cruz met those requirements.
NOBODY agrees with your silly “cause” -— birtherism is pure foolishness.
I don’t care what you think.
But you are rude and insulting.
I will not continue this.
that restatement is incorrect.
You are distracted resources and money and time from things that really matter.
It is RUDE of you and INSULTING of you to try to hijack the conservative cause with your stupidity.
Cruz has my support, Cruz is 100% eligible to be President of the United States.
