‘I know I know... I’m just a moron Trump supporter.’

No you’re not, and it’s a valid question. People are intimidated by this because it has contradictory interpretations. The tricky part was finding people who knew what they were ‘talking about’.

[I’m no lawyer, but even lawyers have trouble with this — it’s a specialty topic.]

But we’ve been able to boil it down to two major points ...

1. Original intent. No matter what original intent you look at, Cruz is not eligible.

— Some say ‘must have mother and father — US citizens when overseas.

— Some say ‘must at least have US father when overseas’

— Some insist you must be born in the US.


2. Women Equal.

Now for the ‘women equal’ argument.

As you know, women are treated as equally as possible in the courts these days. That’s what Cruz is banking on — why can’t a mother alone make him qualify?

— But that is not original intent. So while it wins in court, it fails to end the controversy.


That’s it basically.

Ideally, we are best off to have someone absolutely rock-solid as ‘natural born’ by all major definitions.

The only reason we respect Cruz’ argument at all is because he’s such an awsome patriot-scholar in every other respect. Even his arch-enemy Tribe makes that clear [as noted above].

Cruz is probably a patriot, Trump is probably a patriot. I don’t ever say 100% because nearly all have let me down over the years. However, Cruz is only going to look until he finds the answer that suits him. I’m sure he had more important things to do after that.
