The issue in question has nothing to do with making anyone like or dislike Sen. Cruz or any other politician. This issue is all about the rule of law, honesty, integrity, leadership, trustworthiness, and the willingness to sacrifice personal advantages for the protection and defense of the society and the Constitution governing that society for the purposes of preserving a constitutional republican form of government. This is all about the citizens failing their civic duties and failures to and refusals to make their political representatives accountable for respecting the rule of constitutional law. Z It is about dishonest citizens deceiving themselves and others in order to encourage, assist, or at leastcondone the unlawful acts of political representatives for their own purposes. When enough of the society’s citizens behave unlawfully and corruptly, there can be no other result than a corrupt society with a corrupt political leadership, and a descentinto lawless poverty, death, and destruction. It all begins with people choosing to do the wrong things for supposedly good intentions. Like whomever you want, but insist upon doing so lawfully.
Read Carefully:
NOTHING YOU HAVE EVER POSTED ON THIS SUBJECT COUNTS, under the law.
Cruz is eligible to be President.
The ONLY legal authorities under the Constitution to say otherwise are the States and Congress.
The States and Congress agree with ME on this one.
Do you or do you not acknowledge the Constitution enumerated the power for the Congress to repeal the immigration and naturalization statute that stated persons such as Ted Cruz who were born abroad would be considered as citizens of the United States and the power to also revoke the same U.S. citizenship of these persons, including Ted Cruz? Forget your denying the relevancy, because it is always relevant when a potential candidate for POTUS could have his U.S. citizenship revoked bby Congress even while serving in the Office of the President of the United States. You cannot get any more relevant than that, even if the circumstance is exceedingly unlikely yet remains legally possible.
Congress has the right to strip any Citizen of his rights of Citizenship, under treason or other laws.
You are way off base. You have decided what YOU want, and now you are grasping at straws and making things up and inventing your own law.
Ted Cruz is a Natural Born Citizen. There is no doubt. NO authority on the subject disagrees with me.
Jeff, look at the headers on the main page.
Jim Rob is with US and backs Cruz as an NBC now!
Not sure how much that helped ultimately.
“he was a nutjob”...
Jeff Winston: Quite regrettably, Mark Levin misdescribed this interaction. I know, because not only was I a witness to the interaction, the guy whose behavior he was misdescribing was me.
The “an uniform rule of Naturalization” clause in the U.S. Constitution empowers Congress to enact ordinary U.S. statutory law that recognizes as U.S. citizens individuals who are not natural born citizens of the United States of America. Any statute Congress enacts by exercising its narrowly-defined power under this clause is, by definition, a naturalization law, defining at least in part who is, or may become, a naturalized citizen. This is so, even if the words “naturalization” or “naturalized” doesn’t appear in the language of the statute. The citizens so made or so recognized are properly referred to as naturalized citizens. Natural born citizens and 14th Amendment Citizens are the only other types of U.S. citizens, the former by virtue of birth in a U.S. state to parents who are U.S. citizens at the time of birth (this is the only class of individuals whose U.S. citizenship has never been drawn into question—no U.S. law has ever addressed their status), and the latter by meeting the requirements of the 14th Amendment as set forth in the majority opinion in the U.S. Supreme Court case U.S v. Wong Kim Ark (Wong Kim Ark was born in a U.S. state to Chinese parents who were statutorily recognized permanent U.S. residents at the time of his birth but were not themselves U.S. citizens).
