Bizarre?? She’s 100% correct. The only bizarre ppl are the ones controrting the Constitution to somehow claim Cruz and Rubio are eligible.

Makes sense to me.

“In order to understand the genuine meaning of a text, we must use the definition the framer’s use, otherwise texts become like Play-Doh. They mean whatever you want them to mean to get the outcome you want,” she says.

This is what politicians do all the time. How do you think abortion became legal?

Trump going after Rubio seems to indicate it’s going to be Trump in first, Rubio second, Cruz third.

does a narcissistic, manipulative, pathological liar personality disqualify you from the Presidency?

“When the Constitution was written in the 1780s, the purported attorney says all the framers knew what a natural born citizen was, using a definition provided in Swiss philosopher and legal expert Emerich de Vattel’s book on political philosophy The Law of Nations. In it, she says, a child’s status as a citizen is defined as being inherited from the father, and that it does not matter where the child is born.”

Vattels book, Law of Nations. was thee book seen aournd the halls at the constitutional convention.

It also explained the requirement to go to war if any nation violated natural law.

Why does this story sound so familiar... It is because it is written with exactly the same structure as a mainstream media article on Global warming.

The article says, “Rubio was born in Miami. That makes him a natural born U.S. citizen under the Constitution.” It would be nice if the author could specifically quote the exact passage in the Constitution where it says anchor babies born to foreign nationals within the borders of this country are defined as Natural Born U.S. citizens.

I absolutely agree! Check out Lee Anne Hall, another constitutional Attorney who says the same thing. BOTH Cruz and Rubio are NOT Eligible ACCORDING TO THE CONSTITUTION!

Those who would thumb their noses at the constitution in order to support a political figure are certainly not conservatives....

Just another stupid outburst from Trump. Rubio is just as much a “natural born citizen” as is Trump.

I look forward to this article being spammed all over the boards today. Thanks for the heads up.

If it doesn’t matter where you were born why did Obama fight so hard insisting he was born in Hawaii? Why didn’t Obama just say it doesn’t matter where he was born but he fought hard to say Hawaii and I would never vote for an anchor baby like Rubio

Incomplete (and therefore Incorrect): “Rubio was born in Miami. That makes him a natural born U.S. citizen under the Constitution.” When will these media ever fact- check their stories (are there “editors” anymore? )

Cruz: “Two citizen parents and born on the soil.”

doesn’t get any more simple than that.
