Your question is honest and deserves a clear answer.
The founding father’s were very leery of anyone foreign born being President or Vice president. That has nothing to do with “Citizenship”. Discussions In the lexicon of the time , the opposite os “ foreign born” was “Natural Born” . The term was well used in that context. It did not mean “natural non cesarean birth” . It meant that as to the highest office ,i.e. the Presidency one could absolutely not be born outside the soil of our beloved country. This intent was to heighten our sovereignty for our highest office .
Please do not confuse “citizenship” with “Natural Born”. They are apples and oranges.
As stated by many here repeatedly, it is an absolute fact that Crus wac NOT born on our soil as required in Article II and Section 1 of the United States Constitution. He is not eligible to hold the office.
Let me demonstrate how it becomes crystal clear in the wording of the Constitution iself.
“Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution states: “No Person except a natural born Citizen ... shall be eligible to the Office of President.” The original structure of the Constitution does suggest that “natural born” was meant to contain a geographic component of birth in the United States. The “Inhabitant” requirements for senators and representatives in Article I of the Constitution clearly were intended to be geographic. Since the qualifications stated for president contain no other obvious parallel geographic reference, it would seem the framers meant the “natural born” citizenship requirement for president to refer to those born geographically in the United States.” Taken from www.usnews.com/opinion/articles/2016-01-27/ted-cruz-is-not-a-nwatural-born-citizen-according-to-the-constitution
Now notice that if the founding fathers intended that a “citizen” was all that was required, the “geographic qualifier” would not have been used. In other words , it would have merely states “Citizen”. It did not merely state “citizen” There was an important geographic qualifier to absolutely preclude eligibility for a foreign born citizen.
I hope this clears up the issue for you so you will no longer be confused. This issue must go to Scotus but that will take years. The Democrats will enjoin any candidacy of foreign born Republican with absolutely certainty.
Thanks!
Very clear and concise...
However, the Supreme Court will likely delve into the Founding Fathers intent....so it still could go either way....
Gotta love black robed activists... /s
If someone in the court system doesn’t address this NBC thing, Putin will be running soon...
“As stated by many here repeatedly, it is an absolute fact that Crus wac NOT born on our soil as required in Article II and Section 1 of the United States Constitution. He is not eligible to hold the office.”
There is nothing in Article II, Section 1 about being born on our soil.
You are worse than a communist.
You want to change the Constitution to say what you WISH it to say instead of what it DOES say.
Stop lying.
