I agree with Ted Cruz that he is eligible to be president and I support his candidacy. The people who deny Cruz's qualifications are lightweights who somehow got themselves tangled up in an 18th century French text written by a Swiss "philosopher" who argued that the State has first claim on the labor of every citizen.

Personally, I find the opinion of Ted Cruz (Harvard law) to be more persuasive. However, I recognize that under our Constitution, the voters and their electors have the sole power and duty to select our presidents and to approve or disapprove of a candidate's qualifications.

Ted Cruz - 2016

an 18th century French text written by a Swiss "philosopher" who argued that the State has first claim on the labor of every citizen.

Most critically, this philosopher based his doctrines on civil law descended from the decrees of Roman emperors.

British and US law is based on the common law, with entirely different precepts and doctrines.

The lightweight is yourself. You opine out of ignorance and surety, and the one generally goes with the other.

Ted Cruz is a citizen because he and his mother met the qualifications of a law passed in 1934. Under the meaning of the term "natural citizen" as understood in 1787, he does not qualify.
