I've struggled with the NBC question regarding a Ted Cruz presidency, but in the end I've concluded that the United States as founded and organized by the Framers, has largely been overthrown, and that what's most important at this point in our history, is that we elect leaders who are bound and determined to restore that which has been lost.
Our first (and greatest) President wasn't a natural born citizen of the United States, but he fought to create this country, and bore allegiance to no other. I believe that a President Cruz would be as resolute and loyal to our people in recreating the America our forefathers put here.
Sure he was, by the standards adopted in the Constitution. His parents were born in the Virginia Colony, which was part of the British Empire, at the time, so he was, as all colonists were, considered a British Citizen. When the colonies won their independence, he, and all others in the colonies, became citizens of the United States, so he was a citizen, when he became President.
George Washington was born an American to 2 American born parents. They may have been British Citizens as was he, but they were born Americans, as was their son, our first and greatest president. All three were born Americans before there was a United States. Now we have a man whose mother was an American born, U.S. citizen and whose father was born Kenyan of U.K.citizenship and he was born somewhere either here or there. Dual citizenship, triple citizenship, what about allegiance? To which group are you allied with or is it allegiance to self?
