“He said that because he is a US citizen by birth, and not by naturalization, he is a legally and Constitutionally a natural born citizen and eligible to be President.”

Well, well, well, if it isn’t our Fogbow and Dr. Conspiracy disciple who has arrived to obfuscate historical facts about the true meaning of a natural born citizen, born to two U.S. Citizen parents to guarantee full allegiance to the United States of America. Well Jeff, no Cruz did not say that to mean he was eligible.

Jeff also states: “Throughout our entire national history, “natural born citizen” has basically meant “citizen by birth”.

That is a bold face lie fogbower. If true, then what was the purpose of putting both ‘Natural Born Citizen’ and ‘Citizen’ in the presidential clause?

No person except a ‘natural born Citizen’, or a ‘Citizen’ of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

Former Governor Jennifer Granholm of Michigan stated a few years back she was eligible for the presidency because she was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and had dual Citizenship.

Canadian Granholm implies she can run for President: “I’ve got dual citizenship.”

Michigan Democrat Governor Jennifer Granholm on Fox News Sunday responded to host Chris Wallace’s clarification that as a Canadian, she is ineligible to run for president of the United States. Granholm came to the United States as a child of 4 years old.

Granholm’s response is indicative of the mistaken belief that because one of her parents is/was a US Citizen, she’s eligible.

GRANHOLM: No, I’m totally focused this year on creating every single job I can until the last moment. December 31st at midnight is when I’ll stop. So I have no idea what I’m going to do next, but I’m not going to run for president. I can tell you that.

WALLACE: Yes, that’s true. We should point out Governor Granholm is a Canadian and cannot run for president.

GRANHOLM: I’m American. I’ve got dual citizenship.”

We've gone over this many, many times. The purpose of including "or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution" was to allow foreign-born patriots like Alexander Hamilton and James Wilson, who had equally risked their fortunes and their lives to help us found our nation, to be eligible to be President.

Nothing more.

And this is agreed on by every real historian in the country.

So go on and indulge in a few more personal attacks, because you have no evidence to support that anything I've ever posted has been in any way misrepresented, and there's nothing you have to say to argue against the actual facts.

Ah, but the truth. We simply can't accept that.

By the way, you've accused me of "a bold face lie."

So prove it, jerk. Prove from the historical documentation that anything I've posted is untrue.

And if you can't, then you might do well to STFU.
