That describes Cruz. By RIGHT he is a citizen of the USA at birth. It is automatic. You've stated your conclusion and I've stated min.
However, this argument is extremely premature. Cruz is not running for President.
He IS, however, trying to run an anti-ObamaCare campaign. His enemies have discovered that conservatives opposing obamacare love to nitpick arcane little bits of law more than they love to fight against obamacare.
They love to fight to the circular death squad over things that are 3.5 years in the future
If there is something in the Constitution that prevents Cruz from leading a fight against ObamaCare, then please point it out. If not, let's postpone this particular argument until sometime in the summer of 2015.
Right now we'd do better fighting against ObamaCare.
I can’t comprehend how you can claim Cruz was a citizen of the US at birth. He was born in Canada of a USA mother but also of a Cuban father. Does mother cancel out the father’s claim to parentage? Does the time of birth depend on when citizenship changes? I do see Cruz as standing head and shoulders above so many of the RINOS as to the intentions of the Founding Fathers for our Government. However, I have very serious qualms about using his situation to cover over Obama’s nefarious eligibility situation.
I agree heartily with xzins comment here. I appreciate the work you're both doing for this issue. It's important to take the anti-Cruz people on, but it's more important to fight the major battles of Bambicare, immigration, budgets etc. Cruz is a leader on all the right issues, and it's there we have to fight shoulder to shoulder in each battle.
That being said, it's also important not to let these people take him out, it's what the left wants. Your efforts have been commendable, I believe you are prevailing in the argument. Kudos to both of you.
I hope we prevail in these issues, I hope we get better people elected in 2014, and I would love it if Cruz were to run and win in 2016.
One step at a time.
Good night.
