Right, Cruz has done more to preserve the Constitution than anyone else who could possibly be named. Well, except for the part where he opts to ignore the very first prerequisite for attaining the office of President.
For me, there really is no reason to look beyond that one point.
The notion that a person born a citizen of another country could also be a natural born citizen of the the United States is ludicrous. Cruz knows it but is running anyhow.
Truthfully, I know everything that I will ever need to know about that man right there. Other issues would be of concern, but that one is plenty enough for me.
That is frankly absurd.
No fewer than half a dozen election boards have looked precisely at your allegation and concluded:
FALSE
Ted Cruz is a natural born citizen. Simply re-posting links from cool blogs that set the bar at some level that allows you to ignore the lifetime of good work by Cruz is ridiculous.
More importantly, this false argument is done to undermine the constitution. Natural born citizens are born outside the country all the time. If your side is so persuasive then they should have been able to win the argument. The fact that Obama with far less proof than Cruz has prevailed is further proof this is crackpot nonsense.
Ted Cruz is a natural born citizen and eligible to be President. Multiple authorities have considered your argument and found you are wrong.
You and several others consciously choose to ignore the conclusions and evidence in favor or emotion and feelings of making america great again.
“The notion that a person born a citizen of another country could also be a natural born citizen of the the United States is ludicrous. Cruz knows it but is running anyhow.”
It is not “ludicrous”. The meaning of “natural born citizen” is that no naturalization process is required for the person to become a citizen. Ted Cruz was a US citizen at birth, satisfying that requirement. There have been court rulings confirming that he’s “natural born”.
“Truthfully, I know everything that I will ever need to know about that man right there. Other issues would be of concern, but that one is plenty enough for me.”
In the old days, when people were much less mobile, it made more sense to require birth on US soil. The fact of the matter is that two US citizen parents and birth on US soil does nothing to guarantee the quality of a person, their loyalty to the country, or their fitness to be President.
Ted Cruz is a fine conservative, and more American in his way of thinking than most who satisfy the circa-1800 definition of “native born”. The smears originating with Don Trump and his minions are disgraceful and beyond the pale.
