You lost. You are not debating or discussing. You are making up things to try to distract from the actual point of this thread.

Cruz is a dual citizen. There was NO dual citizenship in 1787 in either the US or in England. So what if some of our more prominent politicians of the time were declared honorary citizens? Was Jefferson born a dual citizen? No, he was not. Did he give up his US citizenship at any point in his life? No he did not. He was given an honor, which was very common back then. Much like a person would be given an honorary Doctorate who may never have set foot in a collage.

Lets repeat the two most important things there - Jefferson was NOT born a dual citizen. Jefferson never lost US citizenship.

I asked you to post the US *LAWS* regarding dual citizenship. The US *LAWS* officially recognizing dual citizenship.

Cruz was born a dual citizen. That means that AT THE TIME OF HIS BIRTH he was a citizen of two different countries.

Next, you show me one law or Act passed prior to the signing of the US Constitution officially recognizing dual citizenship.

You keep saying things are “clear”, yet you post NO proof, you list no sources, you provide no links.

What is clear is that you are emotionally responding to this discussion, but you have zero facts to back you up.

Maybe you should spend time researching instead of just sharing your non-fact based opinions.

Hmm. Well, as I recall, I HAVE posted evidence for my points. Maybe you missed it.

But here. I'll give you a chance to end the conversation right now, and I'll accept your evidence.

You say that being a dual citizen is a Constitutional bar to being President of the United States. That seems like absolute nonsense to me, since our third President, Thomas Jefferson, actually WAS a dual citizen WHILE HE OCCUPIED THE OFFICE.

But you say it doesn't matter that he was a dual citizen, because he wasn't BORN a dual citizen. Wow. I don't see the difference there. It seems to me that if you're a dual citizen, then you're a dual citizen, whether you were born one or were naturalized. But hey, what do I know?

So I'm willing to accept your claim that persons born dual citizens are barred from being President. Just show me where in the Constitution it actually says that, and then you can proclaim victory, and we can move on.
