Negative. She correctly points out --->Mostly, the Cruz partisans confuse being born a citizen with being a "natural born citizen." This is constitutional illiteracy.

-- That case is quite helpful, if not fully dispositive. --
You can clear it up if you want. I don't care what your level of certainty is, just noticing that those two remarks can be taken as opposing each other.
“Anchor babies are NOT citizens. This is the OPPOSITE of what happened in the Cruz case.”
As a side note there’s a thread where Ted is interviewed during his senate race where he states that anchor babies are in fact citizens. Something he now say’s should be reversed.
This idea would have ruled ineligible our first eight presidents!
oh please read the Constitution again.
You could throw the best candidate to the insane birther wolves, but I will not. Cruz should be punished for a possible omission of his AMERICAN mother. Right.
Mark Levin educated ME on the issue by citing the writings of the actual man who WROTE that portion of the 14th Amendment. I assume maybe Ted Cruz also was unaware of this proof of intent.
Have you ever uttered those words? I haven’t. Why should Ted?
Cruz had his citizenship conferred automatically because he was BORN...therefore he is a natural born citizen. This is what any court would say. I don’t care about anybody else’s opinion.
All citizens are either naturalized or natural born. He is the latter.
I am NOT claiming I am eligible to hold the office of the president. Why do you think Cruz has an exemption from the Constitution? Natural born is a constitutional requirement to hold the office of president.
This is not a question of citizenship...The Constitutional requirement to hold the office is to be natural born citizen... Cruz is not natural born... Period... It takes two citizen parents to birth a natural born citizen.
This is not rocket science... Cruz followers have the mind of Esau... Sold his birthright for a bowl of red beans... Then Esau lost his blessing... God did not think much of Esau either.
“Not fully dispositive means that it is not dispositive” The two statements are congruent, although the first indicates that it is relevant, while the second is silent on that issue.
Cruz is, and always has been, an American citizen. What is your problem? There is no Constitutional violation.
It's all good. Like I said, I'm totally indifferent as to your state of mind on the subject.
The Constitutional requirement is ‘natural born’ citizen... Cruz will never be a natural born citizen... And he knows it... Cruz is the problem, not the Constitution!
“I don’t care about anybody else’s opinion.”
Regarding Levin, it’s interesting that he believes that anchor babies do not have birthright citizenship, but he claims Rubio is eligible despite his parent’s not being citizens until 4 years after he was born. Odd.
With all due respect, your point makes absolutely no sense.
Not in those words. He's said he is eligible or qualified. He filed papers in response to a ballot access challenge.
In any event, there is no doubt that Petitioners' challenge to Senator Cruz's constitutional eligibility to hold the office of President is baseless: Senator Cruz is unquestionably a "natural born Citizen." Every single reliable authority has confirmed that a "natural born Citizen" is a person who was a citizen at birth -- that is, a person who does not need to go through naturalization proceedings to become a citizen.See Page 2 of Cruz Response to Petitions : NH Ballot Law Commission November 20, 2015
I’ll join the “illiterate” gang with Mark Levin any time. Actually, your parsing of NBC is silly and maddening.
Screw the man who supported Rotten, Shumer, Reid, Pelosi, Weiner and Emmanuel (AFTER 2010!). We aren’t going to descend into the abyss thanks to MY vote.
