You’re treading dangerous waters here, FRiend. I agree it needs to be discussed, but I think too many FReepers are still high on the Cruz speech to breach this subject.

Down with Obola, because he thinks he's king and can change anything he wants with the stroke of his pen! Long live Cruz, because he'll be king and can change everything Obola has done with a stroke of his pen!

The right doesn't like big government, unless it's THEIR big government. Lol.

Why is this “dangerous waters”?? I think Ted Cruz is a good man, and I actually texted “Constitution” after his speech. But if Sheriff Joe and Donald Trump and who knows who else was screaming for Obama’s birth certificate.. was that all a charade? Does it only matter if THEIR guy isn’t born here?

The weight of legal and historical authority indicates that the term "natural born" citizen would mean a person who is entitled to U.S. citizenship "by birth" or "at birth," either by being born "in" the United States and under its jurisdiction, even those born to alien parents; by being born abroad to U.S. citizen-parents; or by being born in other situations meeting legal requirements for U.S. citizenship "at birth." Such term, however, would not include a person who was not a U.S. citizen by birth or at birth, and who was thus born an "alien" required to go through the legal process of "naturalization" to become a U.S. citizen.[1]

"You’re treading dangerous waters here.."

There's nothing "dangerous" in expressing your 'opinion', and those who express an 'opinion' that Cruz is not qualified to be President based on his citizenship status, can state their case to demonstrate that.

HOWEVER, I they will be stating a case based on 'opinion'. And solely that! And not on one based on 'fact'!

The FACTS, LAWS, and most 'legal opinion' already demonstrate that Ted Cruz became a citizen "At Birth" and not through "Naturalization" (which means you have to "apply" to become a U.S. Citizen.

I'm really impressed with Cruz too but I'd like clarification on this issue.........

So what's the problem with asking the question?

If not BigDaddy, then me..........

So what is the alleged controversy about his citizenship (I know all that, father Cuban and Cruz being born in Canada) and how has it been resolved?
