Chief Justice Marshall: 
Posted on 02/13/2016 9:12:01 AM PST by Dana1960
Lawrence Sellin, Ph.D. a retired colonel with 29 years of experience in the US Army Reserve, argues that Senator Ted Cruz entered the United States illegally as a child in 1974. His parents failed to file a CRBA form which is required by US law. Ted’s parents did not fill out the required form until 1986.

Chief Justice Marshall:

Cruz/s big problem is his Canadian citizenry.
Enjoy Cruz/s Canadian Shuffle....as he twitches and turns to escape from this one.
ANALYSIS If Cruz/s parents declared US citizenship for him in Canada, then he has a document called a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA).....the legal equivalent of a US Birth Certificate.
Cruz either has one from the time of his Canadian birth or he does not. If he does not, then he is NOT a US Citizen.... (he was never naturalized by his own admission). More importantly, Canada, at the time of Cruz/s birth, did not recognize dual nationality.
So it appears Harvard-educated Cruz schemed to dupe Texas voters by the charade of renouncing his Canadian citizenship that never was when the Dallas Morning News exposed him.
Cruz either has the Canadian-issued Consular Report of Birth Abroad, which is his legal proof of US Citizenship, or he doesn't.
Would appear his parents never applied for it. Significantly, Canada prohibited dual nationality at the time of Cruz/s birth.
If Cruz can/t produce a Consular Report of Birth Abroad, there's a little problem with the US Senate office Cruz holds now (and was elected to under false pretenses)
.......not to mention his doomed aspirations to be US President.
===============================================
NOTE WELL
The Dems have access to the CRBA thru State archives and you can rest assured they know the truth and have set a trap.
That is why he supposedly /sealed/ his US birth documents. They don/t exist so he is putting us thru this fiasco for his personal career advancement......nothing more.
If he really cared about this country, he would have settled this years ago.
He should be exposed if he/s lining his pockets with campaign contributions, - knowing he is not qualified...what does that say about his character and integrity?
Thanks, Liz, - knowing he is not qualified, what does it say about his supporters?
Of the soil.
The dead giveaway Cruz knows he’s not a NBC because he always tries to confuse citizen with NBC. He damn well knows the distinction. He obfuscates because he knows he is wrong.
It’s also ironic in that a liberal justice would open up to redefine the constitution. Cruz, a supposed strict constructivist, if placed on the court would agree with a similarly situated candidate’s ineligibility.
His supporters are ignoring the issue or are in denial. They also might be misinformed.
It mattered to me Obama was not eligible. It matters Cruz and Rubio are not.
We are a Constitutinal Republic. Or we aren’t.
Thanks, TigerClaws.
Can’t imagine any freeper being misinformed at this point...
Does not apply. Stop reaching!
Is he really the one person not citizen at birth because his mother was a citizen, regardless of where he was born?
Tell me again about Trump’s conservative history, and why anyone thinks he would be a conservative president. Especially in light of his criticisms of Scalia and knowing there is an open judicial seat?
Lucy, this isn’t personal, I have long respected you and consider us friends. I just don’t understand the anti-cruz or the attacks on people (like me) who support him.
Great, and the court has said what?
Amusing you should cite my Alma Mater, however, there does not seem to be a consensus except among those who wish to shove Blackstone and British Common Law down our throats..
Any study of the Framers and the time in which the Constitution was written knows Vattel was the foundation of Natural Born Citizen, and indeed of extensive references in our constitution. It is irrefutable to a true student of the Constitution.
She's still a Liberal. Reagan wasn't always a perfect judge of people. After all, he picked George H.W. Bush.
I don't think Cruz would appoint someone like her. Trump would though.
Nothing against you personally. We need someone in the oval office willing to stop the destruction of our Country. Here's one comment:
(excerpted)
I do not doubt that the Democrats will try to destroy the Republican candidate anyway they are able.
Cruz has committed possible vote fraud in IA, and that is a felony. The FEC has just come down on Ted and Heidi Cruz for violations because they did not report large loans in 2012 when he ran for the U.S.Senate.
He is being sued by about 5 to 6 different people over his non-US status, which violates the Constitutional eligibility for both the U.S.Senate and the Presidency.
His PR manager, who screwed up the Carson **is he or is he not** still running in Iowa turns out to have a distant business relationship with George Soros! Cruz is not a conservative, period.
Rubio is not a conservative either. He wants amnesty for 12 million illegal aliens in this country but lies about that. They should all be deported because they broke the laws. Jeb Bush would do the same and grant amnesty.
I will be back to finish about Trump, and will answer any worries people have about him. Trump is not running for Pope and we are not Cardinals...

Stop trying to bamboozle the people. Trump’s mother was naturalized a U.S. citizen several years before he was born and Trumps father was a natural born citizen. Furthermore, Trump was born in the U.S. A., therefore he qualifies on ALL counts.
Cruz was born in Canada of ONE American parent. His father was Cuban or Canadian, not sure which. He has 1/3 of the necessary qualification. Therefore he is not a natural born citizen.
Cruz sealed his birth documents??? That’s a dead giveaway right there...
Cruz’s father was NOT an American citizen and the parents’ displacement was not on U.S. Government business.
Trump us a Scottish citizen.
So what?
State Department puts this a little differently,
I think its the “May acquire” U.S. citizenship at birth if certain statutory requirements are met...
It is not automatic...it just isn’t..
A child born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent or parents may acquire U.S. citizenship at birth if certain statutory requirements are met. The child’s parents should contact the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate to apply for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America (CRBA) to document that the child is a U.S. citizen. If the U.S. embassy or consulate determines that the child acquired U.S. citizenship at birth, a consular officer will approve the CRBA application and the Department of State will issue a CRBA, also called a Form FS-240, in the child’s name.
According to U.S. law, a CRBA is proof of U.S. citizenship and may be used to obtain a U.S. passport and register for school, among other purposes.
The child’s parents may choose to apply for a U.S. passport for the child at the same time that they apply for a CRBA. Parents may also choose to apply only for a U.S. passport for the child. Like a CRBA, a full validity, unexpired U.S. passport is proof of U.S. citizenship.
Parents of a child born abroad to a U.S. citizen or citizens should apply for a CRBA and/or a U.S. passport for the child as soon as possible. Failure to promptly document a child who meets the statutory requirements for acquiring U.S. citizenship at birth may cause problems for the parents and the child when attempting to establish the child’s U.S. citizenship and eligibility for the rights and benefits of U.S. citizenship, including entry into the United States. By law, U.S. citizens, including dual nationals, must use a U.S. passport to enter and leave the United States.
