Once again this miss information raises it’s ugly head. Therefore the facts will be presented to once again put this to rest.

The US Constitution specifically enumerates (Article 1 Section 8) the CONGRESS with the power to determine who is a citizen a birth (natural born citizen) and who requires naturalization. One of the firsts acts of Congress was to establish that a child born to a US Citizen was in fact, naturally born as a US Citizen even if beyond the lands of the US.

The current will of Congress is expressed in Title 18 Section 1401 by which Sen Cruz is a citizen at birth via the qualification of his mother who was a US Citizen.

Then you’re saying Obama is eligible because his mother was a citizen.

If that’s correct, why was Obama and his team doing everything they could to come up with proof he was born in Hawaii?

As for Cruz, wasn’t he born in Canada and wasn’t his parents non U.S. Citizens? Just asking.

If that is the case and Obama’s mother was a US citizen...Do I even need to continue?

“The current will of Congress is expressed in Title 18 Section 1401 by which Sen Cruz is a citizen at birth via the qualification of his mother who was a US Citizen.”

As a mater of fact the current will of congress or any court decision including one by the USSC is irreverent if it goes against the constitution and is not a ratified amendment. In other words Title 18 section 1401 is Poo Poo on the mater.

The only question is what “natural born” meant when the constitution was founded. And since the term was used specifically in terms of who can be president then then I don’t think that the definition of it was meaningless as many want us to believe.
