'Questions Are Being Asked': Chuck Todd Takes On Sen. Ted Cruz's Potential 'Birther Controversy'

“Another birther controversy could be brewing for 2016,” MSNBC host Chuck Todd informed on Monday. Though this time aimed at a Republican: Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who was born in Canada. While Cruz likely doesn’t face any real eligibility problems, Todd acknowledged, “questions are being asked.”

Snip~

How exactly is “natural-born citizen” defined? Since Cruz’s mother was born in the U.S. and his father became a citizen in 2005, Todd explained, going on to list similar scrutiny faced by President Obama, George Romney, and John McCain.

“The legal evidence seems to side with Cruz,” Todd argued, “but there is a grey area, and that may be all his opponents need.”

“It’s pretty clear that he qualifies as natural born,” Peter Spiro, a professor at Temple University, stated in response to Todd’s earlier question about how the term is defined. To clarify, Todd summed up: “If you are born to U.S. citizens abroad, no matter where, if they are U.S. citizens, if…one of your parents is a U.S. citizen — then that should qualify as natural born.”

Not one word mentioned about two U.S. citizen parents creating their offspring 'sole allegiance' to the United States.

You betcha, they’re going to get him, and those who can’t understand or make up their own definition of NBC here are going to help the left do it.

Oh yes, let’s get the MSM mired in this, can we start using the “supposed prejorative” of “birther” to ridicule the MSM, maybe we can ridicule them with it now and when they say that the “Knuckle draggin republicans started it” we can inform them with glee that the Hillary Clintoon camp is who STARTED it all back in early 08’.

BRING IT ON!!!!!

If we loose Cruz, Obama Looses, and we win.

If Cruz is eligible we Win.

WIN-WIN

BRING IT!!!

'“If you are born to U.S. citizens abroad, no matter where, if they are U.S. citizens, if…one of your parents is a U.S. citizen — then that should qualify as natural born.”'

Wonderful. Vietnam is filled with plenty of 'NBC' from soldiers partying with hookers.

Every tourist[Male] visiting a third world country or any other country can 'create' kids with the locals and magic they are 'NBC'. BS.

The media will be far more interested in “eligibility” if Cruz is the nominee than they were when Barry was the nominee.

I agree with your post. It is imperative that we get the word out that Ted Cruz is not a true natural born citizen that the founders envisioned for the office of the presidency. A constitutional scholar Herb Titus with credentials to back his claims up explains why in common sense terms:

Yet they have NO PROBLEM with that slimy pot-smoking, Muslim-loving black racist bastard with the shady past to end all shady pasts screwing up this country for 8 years.

Amazing.

I welcome this obviously partisan scrutiny — it further exposes the true enemy of liberty.

No he is not eligible. Neither is Cruz, Jindal or Marco Rubio.

It doesn't seem to matter that he's not eligible, does it?

They are worried about Cruz, aren’t they. I would support him in a minute. We got disloyal McCain, didn’t we and the liar Obama is another issue. I see Cruz as a natural born citizen. I think many people are over complicating this issue.

““The legal evidence seems to side with Cruz,” Todd argued, “but there is a grey area, and that may be all his opponents need.””

Yeah, right! GREY AREA, eh?

Where were/are you when it comes to investigating 0b0z0?

Oh, I got it. There is NO GREY AREA for 0b0z0 because it’s all BLACK, right?

Hey Chuck, are you going to call Cruz’s “opponents” birthers? Or, did the communist media wake up by a Republican scent?
