Article 2 Section 1 specifically calls for a ‘natural born Citizen’ to be president, not a Citizen. See John Jay’s letter to George Washington when framing the presidential clause.
“Did you miss what happened to Millie? She is no longer on this forum. She was warned that Cruz bashing based on ‘natural born’ was a good way to get the zot.”
I haven’t once bashed Ted Cruz. That is a fact. I even stated I like him. How is that bashing?
I’m a staunch Palin supporter! Anything wrong with that? She is a natural born Citizen born to two U.S. citizen parents which gives her sole allegiance to the United States.
Interesting!. In 1967, the Democrats were preparing to challenge George Romney’s “natural born citizen” status, in court, if he had won the GOP primaries. Here is a rough draft of one of the Democrat’s legal briefs, explaining why a foreign-born person, even if a US citizen at birth, is not a natural born citizen: http://natural-borncitizens.com/nbcfiles/nbc_McElwee.pdf
According to literature published by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS), a person must be, at minimum, “native-born” (born in the United States) in order to be eligible to serve as President.
QUOTE: “Another right of all citizens is running for federal office. Many naturalized citizens are elected to federal office. However, to be president or vice president, you must be born in the United States. (Your Government and You, p.3)http://www.uscis.gov/system/files_force/USCIS/fil...
Is Ted Cruz going to renounce his Cuban citizenship, too? He obtained his Cuban citizen from his father who had not yet naturalized at the time Ted was born? Ted was born a tri-Citizen. He and the press seem to forget his Cuban citizenship at birth. He can renounce Citizenships now all he wants but he can never retroactively change the laws of nature and the facts at the time of his birth and his status at birth. He was not born with sole allegiance to the United States which is something being born to two U.S. citizens bless you with.
I don’t think so. Sheriff Arpaio is about to close out his secind criminal investigation on Obama and I don’t think the American public will be ready for what he has to release.
