Full Circle – Fox News Report: Trump Considering Cruz for Attorney General Spot?…
The Conservative Tree House ^ | Nov 16, 2016 | Sundance

Posted on 11/16/2016 11:46:44 AM PST by HarleyLady27

A report from Fox News implies President-Elect Donald Trump is considering Texas Senator Ted Cruz for the position of Attorney General. –STORY HERE–

Specifically because of his history, it would NOT be surprising to find out that it was Ted Cruz himself, not Donald Trump, who requested the meeting and asked for the job.

Yesterday, I heard Rudy say that he didn’t want to be AG. He pretty much said PHEW, intimating that he wouldn’t have to make the decision to go after ankles.

There’s nothing to debate, teach. We’ve listened to you folks for months as you tried to square this circle.
Cruz was born in Canada. Arturo is not eligible to run for president. Anyone who can’t figure out what the phrase “natural born citizen” means is hopelessly delusional.
This is the main reason many of us are concerned with him putting on robes, if he can’t seem to understand the plain wording and meaning of Article 2.

Cruz as well has demonstrated over the last several months that he isn’t qualified to hold public office. Like Hillary Clinton circa `74 being called a liar and unethical by her boss, `Ted’ isn’t discouraged by his mortification and apparently wants to press on in public life.
If Trump has a job for him, maybe sweeping up around the offices, good for Ted.

But Felito really should retire to Lubbock, or Thunder Bay, and partner-up with Saul Goodman. He could have his fat, oily countenance depicted on bus stop benches: “Slow credit? NO credit ... ? No problem!”. DWI, traffic cases, personal injury. That’s Ted’s level of competence.

“NO he was born in Canada...remember???”

Yes, born in Canada to a US citizen mother, which made him a US citizen from birth:

Birth Abroad to One Citizen and One Alien Parent in Wedlock

A child born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) of the INA provided the U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for the time period required by the law applicable at the time of the child’s birth. (For birth on or after November 14, 1986, a period of five years physical presence, two after the age of fourteen, is required. For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five after the age of fourteen, is required for physical presence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child.) The U.S. citizen parent must be the genetic or the gestational parent and the legal parent of the child under local law at the time and place of the child’s birth to transmit U.S. citizenship.

From The Real Donald J. Trump!

Very organized process taking place as I decide on Cabinet and many other positions. I am the only one who knows who the finalists are!

There’s nothing to explain when you are simply wrong, which you are.

Besides, even if you were correct, and Cruz wasn’t a citizen, there is absolutely no citizenship requirement for cabinet positions, so you still wouldn’t have an actual point.

“Even as “only” a Naturalized Citizen, he is qualified for any political office or appointment in the US, other than President.”

Actually, he doesn’t even have to be a citizen at all to qualify for a cabinet post, since there are no citizenship requirements at all for such positions.

So the entire argument is completely pointless.

Thanks goodness that Immigration and Nationality Act doesn't hold water as far as who a "natural Born Citizen" is...cause if it did, that would mean Congress has the power to determine the definition and could/would change it any time they liked.

We are very fortunate the framers we smarter than that.

Why Ted Cruz when more qualified people like Kris Klobach are on the short list?

“Why the sealed records? Why? For what purpose?”

To hide things, of course. Just as he did with the FEC.

Cruz is a construct. A persona played by a former Canadian who cannot demonstrate present citizenship anywhere. Like Obama, with a different ugly face.

Anyone who is known to have supported even one of Obama's destructive policies- especially those related to TPP, immigration, and/or Obamacare, should not be considered for any cabinet position. We need to flush the toilet on those turncoat SOBs.

Cruz supported TPP and loathes Trump. Screw him.

If Cruz moves to SCOTUS Abbott will appoint someone VERY CONSERVATIVE to fill his spot!!! Cruz is not liked in the senate not that it matters but getting him confirmed will be a breeze because EVERYONE in the senate wants him gone!!!!

Why would you want someone who could render a Supreme Court ruling that a child born to a Palestinian father and an American mother in Saudi Arabia is a natural born citizen?
