The nuttier among them now feel compelled to be "consistent".
They are tools in the hands of the MSM!
Cruz, Rubio, Jindal, Haley (even McCain!) are all Natural Born. All the phrase means is, entitled to US citizenship by reason of birth. No Swiss nationals need opine!
“by reason of birth”?
What does that mean?
At one time the Congress of the United States indicated that those born to parents who were US Citizens - regardless of where in the world they were could be considered as natural born Citizens. The only reason to declare this was ensure that children born abroad (Europe) during the early days of the country could still qualify to hold the office of President.
So in 1790 WHERE you were born was not considered a factor. Jus sanguis ruled the day. Jus soli - not so much.
Now with the mis-interpreted 14th Amendment and the misconstrued WKA ruling it seems that jus sanguis is no longer a factor at all and the ONLY thing that counts is jus soli - a factor completely discarded in 1790.
The Supreme Court has ruled on what a natural born Citizen is. It is in black and white in M v. H.
It disqualifies Cruz, it disqualifies Jindal and others to hold the office of President regardless of their popularity. It disqualified McCain. And that is how we got here. At least McCain met a the 1790 standard.
In 1790 the men who saw this country built indicated what they considered the most critical factor in qualifying for the office of President - citizenship as acquired naturally and passed down from the parents.
“Cruz, Rubio, Jindal, Haley (even McCain!) are all Natural Born.”
No they are not. What name do you post under over at the Fogbow?
