While Mr. Cruz has appealing qualities, I am concerned about his eligibility to be president.

Indeed, as am I. Wonderful man, excellent senator. Stay, Ted, Stay! Stay in the senate! We worked very hard to get you in there - which is why the RINOs want to take you away from us.

Please show me in the US Constitution the relevant parts that define "Natural Born" as requiring 2 citizen parents?

Lacking that, please provide references/links to relevant US Laws passed by Congress and signed by a US President that define the "Natural Born" requirement as needing 2 citizen parents.

Lacking that, please provide references/links to Supreme Court rulings that define "Natural Born" as needing 2 citizen parents.

Until you can do that, there is no Constitutional requirement with regards to POTUS "Natural Born" requiring 2 citizen parents.

In other words, you can be concerned all you want, but Senator Cruz IS eligible to be President until Congress passes a new law or the Supreme Court rules on the matter to match the 2 citizen parent requirement that you apparently believe is what the founders meant and should apply today.

Ted Cruz is a natural born CITIZEN and Patriot!

Fortunately or not that law was resolved against your position

I’m sure the Democrats are thinking the same thing digging too as they dig nto their law books and figuring every avenue to challenge his eligibility. Make no mistake they fear Cruz more than anyone else on the GOP side and will use any means necessary to take him off the table as a presidential candidate.

I’m concerned that the GOP-e RINOs are going to let our country be flushed down the drain!!

The time to rebel against politics as usual is NOW!!

Let McCain/Romney be the end of the GOP-e loser RINO train!!

Go, tea party rebellion!!

Run, Cruz, RUN!!

Of all the potential 2016 contenders, he is the one that most intrigues me right now, WJ. It's still way early, and I don't know too much about Senator Cruz yet--haven't had time. But from all I've heard, he seems like a true conservative who stands for what is right and can articulate it with passion and intelligence. That's what I'm looking for.

As to his eligibility, I think the questions you raise--which are legitimate concerns--will be settled soon enough, if they have not been already. Lots of folks are saying he is eligible, and it sounds like a strong case can be made for that.

Winstons Julia doesn’t reveal her state.
JCBreckenridge doesn’t reveal her state.
CitizenUSA is from Oklahoma.
dowcaet doesn’t reveal her state.

If you’re constitutionalists, did you lobby your state legislature to codify the NBC definition? Did you lobby your state legislature to require a Birth Certificate for General Election and/or primary ballot access? Are you working on it in your state?

Or are you just planning a federal lawsuit, like the leftists do? Are most Noobie-birthers really Rand-Paulistas? or are they RINO-Cristie trolls?
