that's nice and it still ignores the constitution. You don't really suppose that posting and re-posting ad infinitum ad nauseam every scrap of paper that has ever been purported to support the curious irrelevant fantasies of Birtherism. This quote does not even qualify at that low standard.

Ted Cruz's mother was born in Delaware of two American parents (one would have sufficed but she had two) and has NEVER relinquished that US citizenship. She was raised in Delaware until she moved to go to Texas for college. I am going to assume that if she moved to Canada immediately, she was more than five years a resident of Delaware since she did not enter Baylor at 5 years of age or less. Likewise, it seems likely that since she graduated high school in Delaware, at least two of the five years AFTER her fourteenth birthday (this is an irrational classification required by an unconstitutional gender based impermissibly discriminatory statute that applied only to moms and not dads). Additionally, Teds mother graduated college in Texas, at Baylor University IIRC, and that would have taken normally another five years, all before Ted was born as a Natural Born American citizen in Canada. One American parent is all it took. The bureaucratic BS in the final paragraph of your cut and paste of a non-authoritative document from DOJ applies only to those being "naturalized." Elizabeth Taylor, born a Brit citizen in Great Britain of two British parents could only obtain US citizenship by "naturalization." Ted Cruz is a NBC and needs no such red tape any more than did Obozo, McCain, George Romney or Lowell P. Weicker, Jr.

Every court called upon to adjudicate this issue as to POTUS candidates has pointedly REFUSED to agree with this Birther nonsense. Obozo is POTUS whether we like it or not until his successor is inaugurated in a bit less than one more year. At that point, hopefully, Ted Cruz will be sworn in as POTUS (whether our and our nation's liberal and Islamofascist and Marxist enemies like it or not and they won't), reverse much of the executive tyranny of the preceding 8 (or 16 or 24 or 28) years. Our long national nightmare will largely be over the old fashioned way by a quadrennial POTUS election clearly envisioned by the constitution and the Founding Fathers. Ours is a democratic republic and that is how democratic republics change leaders and dance. It beats the hell out of being governed by magic lightning from the judicial sky or bowels or, as the Donald might say, from the judicial wherever. Of course it requires more than being a Keyboard Kommando. It requires old-fashioned political effort.
