Byron York: Heidi Cruz says 'Ted is an immigrant'
Washington Examiner ^ | 4/30/16 7:50 PM | Byron York

GREENFIELD, Ind. — At a campaign stop just days before the critical Indiana primary, Heidi Cruz, wife of Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz, said one of her husband's strengths in the campaign is that he "is an immigrant."

"Ted is an immigrant," Mrs. Cruz said, emphasizing the word "is." "He is Hispanic."

Nothing in the Constitution grants the Congress the power to legislate natural born citizenship.

We agree about that. The Congress can't change the constitutional requirement except by amending the constitution and the Congress cannot do that alone.

Our Constitution directs that the presidents be selected by electors. I believe that those electors are obligated to vote only for candidates who are eligible - 35 years old, natural born citizens, resident for 14 years. I think that they are obligated to consider qualifications. And, I assume that they always have.

I completely stopped posting my images of Cruz.

He is totally out of the running now so what’s the point.

He coulda been a contender, he coulda been SOMEBODY.
.........[He coulda been Trump’s VP]...........

I once thought so highly of Ted... then something snapped in the man and he became the pitiful thing now on display.
[ditto for Mark Levin and Beck]

SAD

ineligible....unqualified.

Two completely different parameters.

I have not been discussing natural born citizenship with  Karl Spooner or anyone else.  Nor is our subject "natural born citizen".

I've had it with you; fine...you're an IDIOT

I am prepared to conclude that you probably don't have much further to add. I do understand what you're saying - you're saying that you're right and that someone in the government has told you that you're right. What more need be said, right? That should cover it.

Thanks for your input. ;-)

Well, I am just going to encourage all of you to vote carefully. Don't vote for someone that you think is ineligible to be president, even if you like him or her. This all begins and ends with the Constitution. Each of us has an obligation to do what we think is right and constitutional.

I believe that there is a zero probability that the American people will (through their electors) elect someone who is not a "natural born citizen. We have many risks and problems, but I don't believe that that is one of them. I trust that each of you will measure qualifications before voting and that each of you will do the right thing.

No kidding. I think Heidi doesn’t want Ted to run anymore. She could be getting sick of being on the campaign trail.

LOLOL!!

Trump is a deductive thinker - he begins with the goal and works back from there - no wasted motion - only what contributes to the result.

Guys like Cruz are inductive thinkers. They are so obsessed with the ideological front end, the actual result is an afterthought.

I believe that Cruz is a natural born citizen

How would you know that better than the man's wife ?

Are you attacking Heidi ?

I might if I disagreed with her, but I believe that she agrees with me that her husband is a natural born citizen. In fact, my understanding is that she even voted for him. I have to assume that that means htat she thinks he's eligible to be president.

I once supported Trump myself, but I have come be recognize that this isn't his year. Accordingly, I now support Trump, but that doesn't change my view that both of them are eligible under the Constitution.

Well .. a “study guide” can say anything. It only matters what the Constitution says.

And .. it says, a child born to an American Citizen is automatically an American Citizen. Since Senator Cruz’s mother was a valid American citizen (working in Canada; who had not surrendered her American citizenship), entitles Senator Cruz to the title of “American Citizen”. The fact that his father was not a citizen, does not matter. The only change I know is that a child born here (to a person of any citizenship) is automatically a citizen (thus “anchor baby” is their label).

YOU are spreading FALSE INFORMATION to try to destroy Cruz; I find that despicable; and it makes you out to be a LIAR.

I do not believe that there existed any universal understanding of term "natural born citizen" at the time of our founding.

Well, you're wrong.

It was defined then, the same definition a hundred years later, taught in schools in the 60s, defined in US citizenship materials.

Nobody has changed it.

The framers didn't define baby Jesus either, but I'm sure you know what that means.
