No. We don’t need more ambiguities thrown at the law of our land by anyone.

Obama was born in Hawaii. Cruz in Canada.
Cruz is less eligible for president than Obama.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Neither is Obama so to quote the hag, "what difference does it make?"
actually it is not a question, neither is Constitutionally eligible

Take it to the SCOTUS! Let them decide. As for me, he has my vote until they say otherwise.

Bullsquirt. The precedent has already been set with Mr. Obama. Are you saying that only Democrats can do as they wish?

Which hospital in Hawaii? The hospital they claim he was born in never heard of him. Did you know that? Yet a hospital in Kenya crows over the fact he was born there.

"Didnt the US Senate once pass a resolution declaring Juan McLame to be natural born? " You have it partially right - he was declared a natural born a-hole.

Ted Cruz is not eligible for the presidency. But the child of an illegal alien who manages to make it across the border right before giving birth is eligible?
As I read the plain meaning of "natural born citizen," if you were, under U.S. law, a U.S. citizen at birth (regardless of where your mother was located when you were born) then you are a natural born citizen. If you were not a U.S. citizen at birth but later become a U.S. citizen then you are not a natural born citizen.

How about we define “Natural Born” as being born to 2 US citizens.

Ann Coulter To Trump, Birthers: Drop The Issue
"Now they will have a chance to find out this is Donald Trump's Pierre Salinger moment. You can't believe everything you read on the Internet. Obama has produced his birth certificate. There were announcements that ran in two contemporaneous Hawaiian newspapers at the time. The head of the Hawaiian medical records has announced, 'I have seen the long form you all want.' I don't know why the long form is considered more credible than the short form. They're both from the same office. The State Department accepts the short form or as we call it, the birth certificate," Ann Coulter told FOX News' "Hannity."

The point of the clause was to make sure that rich foreigners couldnt cross the ocean and buy their way into the presidency, which wasnt a baseless concern for a group of former British subjects who worried about loyalists to the throne subverting the revolution No it wasn't.
The point of the clause was to prevent what happened in Europe with the musical chairs of the European Monarchial families from being done to the United States: the imposition of a President whose loyalty was not to the nation.

“But the child of an illegal alien who manages to make it across the border right before giving birth is eligible?”
No. And even if this weren’t the answer to that question, it doesn’t change the facts of Ted Cruz’s birth, no matter how much you or others like him. I like him myself, from what I know of him aside from this issue and his own statements about it.
“As I read the plain meaning of “natural born citizen,” if you were, under U.S. law, a U.S. citizen at birth (regardless of where your mother was located when you were born) then you are a natural born citizen. If you were not a U.S. citizen at birth but later become a U.S. citizen then you are not a natural born citizen.”
My mother taught me that two wrongs don’t make a right. And I am convinced that you’re simply wrong in your assertions, no matter how well intended. I’ll leave it there as others can explain to you what a natural born citizen meant to the founders of this country better than I can.
