The Natural Born Citizen thing is NOT settled law. That is exactly why we had the Obama birther thing all this time.
You must be a real dunce. Or a cultist.
In all countries, all of them, only far left progressives seek to diminish citizenship and residency issues. They want the world to be one big, fat open border. Which is much easier to control once they are in charge of things like the UN, for example.
Ted Cruz misled the voters of Texas and played them for fools. He really didn’t know he had Canadian citizenship, eh? Oddly enough, his roommate in college knew it BECAUSE CRUZ told him so. Is he American? I assume so. Have we seen a document registering him at the American consulate at birth, like everyone else does, if their family wants to put their marker on the red white & blue? Maybe you can produce it for us, in your infinite wisdom.
I am on record, on this site, as being in favor of Cruz for SCOTUS.
However, he had better resolve this issue and quit whizzing in his Cheerios, or Trump will decide he is too dishonest for that.
Ordinarily, I would agree. Assuming the issue will only be resolved by the USSC, then we must be very concerned about the quality and fullness of the arguments presented to the court as well as the political mood of the court.
When I say fullness of the arguments, that would include the fact that what distinguishes the president's qualifications from that of all other politicians is the fact that office alone serves as the supreme commander-in-chief of the nation's armed forces.
Jay and others at the time, of course, knew full well that our nation required a CIC that was not obligated in the slightest to another sovereign by dint of parental ancestry. For them NBC was not an issue, just as the difference between the colors red and blue is not an issue for us.
IMHO, the political mood of the present court, which is one vote from castrating the 2dA, is not the court to consider and decide the issue. The court must consider what the ratifiers intended, not what subsequent lower courts may have opined or said in passing, or what any legislative action short of a constitutional amendment may have accomplished.
