You’re right. As such it will be decided by an examination of statutory law. Ted Cruz is undeniably a citizen under statutory law.

Who believes Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Jay, Monroe, Madison, etc. would have found him to be a natural born citizen?

Washington signed a law in 1790 that declared that children born abroad to American Citizens are Natural Born Citizens.

3, 2, 1... no standing.

After “the phone call”, Cruz himself wouldn’t have standing.

Trump does not know what he is talking about. You don’t just call up a judge and ask them to make a ruling. Somebody has to file suit and trump doesn’t have the guts to do it.

Especially in Crook County.

“Washington signed a law in 1790 that declared that children born abroad to American Citizens are Natural Born Citizens.”

Actually, the 1790 law says “shall be considered as natural born citizens,” NOT “...are Natural Born Citizens.”

Washington then turned around in 1795 and signed a law that repealed the 1790 law and removed the words “natural born”.

In Madison’s words, “Gee, I don’t think Congress has the right to define, or redefine, terms in the Constitution.”

No court will declare Ted Cruz ineligible. And if he is elected, Congress will certify the election.

It’s a red herring issue.

Get over it.

We have a country to save.

Yeah! One more little clause in the Constitution? As Hillary would say, “What difference does it make?”

I agree we have a country to save. We’re just not going to save it by posting intellectually dishonest information.

If it’s a red herring issue to you, don’t bother with it.

If Maggie Thatcher or Benjamin Netanyahu had been running against this motley crew would you give a damn if they weren’t Natural Born Citizens?

Cruz is the best shot we have of saving the very Constitution you claim to venerate.

Do you venerate the 16th amendment with the same fervor that you venerate your interpretation of the Natural Born Citizen clause? It’s the constitution, you know.

“Whoever that idiot wrote this didn’t do a thorough search and is full of it, and so are you.”

Thank you Kaslin, I’ve been wanting to say that for days.

And .. if anybody is interested, Ted is on a replay of his interview with CNN, and they just discussed this very issue.

So, the truth is out there if you’re willing to look for it, instead of parroting what some other idiot said.
