What it means is that Congress, which has the power to determine naturalization laws, can pass citizenship to whoever they want or however they want. When this is done, it is "naturalization," even if you are born into it. According to the Law of Nations, as used by the Founding fathers, an NBC must be born to two citizen parents and on American soil. According to English common law, an individual can receive natural born status while being outside the country, but this passes from the Father.
Ted Cruz is thus invalidated by both legal standards in use by the founding fathers at the time the constitution was written.
And so the law had been changed by the time Cruz was born. At the time the constitution was written, women didn't have the right too vote or many others either.
Another lie.
Agreed but why is it so hard for some to grasp the fact that the draft was purposely changed to add the word natural before born? Do they believe the founders who were so exact and careful were in this case just messing around?
It is not that Ted Cruz is not a loyal citizen, but that another country, at the time of his birth could claim his allegiance.
In the colonial times of courts and kings and heredity, intrigue was rife and this was for Jay ( who had great experience in the manners and matters of Europe) exactly why he proposed the Constitution guard against this in the office of the chief executive.
Some might say that today this is quaint and unnecessary, and say so even after the damage and destruction of the second usurper and current occupier.
We waste words here among those who choose politics over truth. Shortly, they will learn that politics is a cutting instrument and there are many on the usurper’s side who will pull their swords and hack away on T. Cruz should he be nominated.
