Sen. Ted Cruz rejected questions Sunday over his eligibility to be president, saying that although he was born in Canada “the facts are clear” that he’s a U.S. citizen. “My mother was born in Wilmington, Delaware. She’s a U.S. citizen, so I’m a U.S. citizen by birth,” Cruz told ABC. “I’m not going to engage in a legal debate.” The Texas senator was born in Calgary, where his mother and father were working in the oil business. His father, Rafael Cruz, left Cuba in the 1950s to study at the University of Texas and subsequently became a naturalized citizen.
President Obama has been hounded by critics who contend he was born outside the U.S. and, therefore, ineligible to win the White House. Obama was born in Hawaii. But some Democratic critics have taken the same charge against Obama by so-called “birthers” and turned it against Cruz. The Supreme Court has not definitively ruled on presidential eligibility requirements. But a congressional study concludes that the constitutional requirement that a president be “a natural born citizen” includes those born abroad of one citizen parent who has met U.S. residency requirements.
“I can tell you where I was born and who my parents were. And then as a legal matter, others can worry about that. I’m not going to engage,” Cruz said in the interview with “This Week” on ABC.

The Media Democrats are the real reason we lost. They are simply propaganda agents for the Democrat Party.

Which means it’s probably wrong.
Another string of letters arranged in the form of crap.
I believe it was registered as a ‘sense of the senate’ inclusion in the record. The vermin in the DC fen have tried on several occasions to circumvent the Constitutional requirement on president and vice president eligibility, and every time it is an effort to avoid the prescribed method for changing the Constitution.
Spelling the word “Crap” is easier, Jeff. It takes far less effort, and it achieves the same result.
You’re a man?
Obviously if your bother-in-law’s second cousin by marriage once removed is an American Citizen - your eligible to be President.
Another string of trash masquerading as meaningful words in the English language.
So, you can’t read a profile page either? Why is that not surprising?
Look, it’s trying to prove something with excerpted crap from ignorant no-nothings.
Bwaahhhh. Anyone reading this and still can't see JW as a psycho troll needs just give up and head over to the Demotard camp. Thinking is hard.
The sponsors generally said that the law was simply a declaration of what they already understood the law to be. It just needed to be clarified, so that no one could deny it.
Yeah, and they passed non-binding resolutions all day long like McCain has white hair. McCain is a fat ####. McCain is X years old. McCain is has a tard daughter.
Cuz, they had nothing better to do then pass non-binding resolutions about McCain's lack of NBC citizenship.
Thank you.
That's a nice way of saying, "I can't refute the facts you've posted, so I will make a show of ignoring them, while using insult in an attempt to discredit you and the authorities you posted."
The Constitution was ordained and established to secure the blessings of liberty to our children, their children, and their children's children, and so on and on.
Article II codifies it.

Birtherism is over. Unless the left decides to pursue it against Cruz.
Barack Obama is also over. When his signature legislation is being torn apart by his own wolves and his Union Thugs are retreating from him, it’s over.
When he shows up unannounced to get in one last stab at provoking a race war, he’s over.
When IRS and Benghazi finally become above-the-fold news in the next couple weeks, it’ll really be over for the ‘Uniter’.
If the prospect makes you uneasy, it is because you recognize it as a big hook people are trying to make you swallow. How can someone born in a foreign country to a foreign father be a "natural" citizen of this nation?
It's nonsense. I like Cruz, and if he secures the nomination, I would probably vote for him, but let's not fool ourselves into believing he meets that requirement.
He doesn't, but after Obama, I don't think it matters anymore. I'd vote for a rabies infected skunk over a Democrat. (Who are generally AIDS infected skunks.)
It’s not my job to do your research. Lazy ...
It’s well documented. Look it up. Lazy...
But feel free to spew your uninformed and ignorant opinion. As well as, support for a “psycho Obamabot troll” trying to pimp his pathetic book.
Thanks for the Ping. I’ll be happy to vote for Ted Cruz just as soon as SCOTUS rules him eligible. Until then, refer to tagline.
Unfortunately we have people here who want to pursue it against Cruz.
In the end, it will amount to nothing. For a while I thought they might be able to screw up a Cruz candidacy. I don't tend to think so now.

Unfortunately, a snake with its head cut off can still bite. We have more than three years until we can elect our next President.
Hopefully by then a lot of people in this country will have come to their senses.
Oh, you had another screen name?
I am not attacking Cruz, just standing up for the truth.
