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 doesnt face any real eligibility problems, Todd acknowledged, questions are being asked.
Snip~
How exactly is natural-born citizen defined? Since Cruzs 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.
Its pretty clear that he qualifies as natural born, Peter Spiro, a professor at Temple University, stated in response to Todds 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.

If you have American citizenship by birth, which Cruz has, that is sole allegiance to America.
My grandson is a citizen of America and England. In order to give sole allegiance to a country, he would have to drop one of those citizenships.
Amen. all roads lead to Obama, bring it on.
“We got disloyal McCain, didnt we and the liar Obama is another issue. I see Cruz as a natural born citizen.”
If Cruz runs for the presidency, then he himself is being ‘disloyal’ to the Constitution, specifically Article 2 Section 1.
Not one word mentioned about two U.S. citizen parents creating their offspring ‘sole allegiance’ to the United States.
No, because the prog narrative is that Obama Jr. was BORN in Hawaii. Ted Cruz was born in Canada.
->If Cruz runs for the presidency, then he himself is being disloyal to the Constitution, specifically Article 2 Section 1.
That is not true because his citizenship comes by birth. I don’t agree with your view.
Dual Citizens are not Article 2 Section 1 Constitutional natural born citizens. Read these words by the father of the 14th Amendment VERY CAREFULLY.
Every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen. (Cong. Globe, 39th, 1st Sess., 1291 (1866))
If you owe or share allegiance with a foreign sovereignty, you are NOT a natural born Citizen eligible to be president. How can you be eligible for the U.S. presidency with a Canadian birth certificate?
Ted Cruz would make an excellent Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Senate Majority Leader, or Governor of the State of Texas. He is not eligible to be POTUS and neither is Barry Soetoro.
“So youre saying Ubama is eligible?”
The problem with Hussein, is, we don’t know whether his American mother filled out birth records at the time of birth to designate him as an American. I think he was registered by the parents as a Kenyan and that’s why he has made sure he got a fake Hawaiian birth certificate.
“That is not true because his citizenship comes by birth. I dont agree with your view.”
Again.
Every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen. (Cong. Globe, 39th, 1st Sess., 1291 (1866))
Ted Cruz is a statutory Citizen who owes allegiance to Canada. A statutory citizen (bestowed by man’s pen) can never be a “natural born” citizen (bestowed by God/nature).
“Vietnam is filled with plenty of ‘NBC’ from soldiers partying with hookers.”
A birth record filled out by a parent at the time of birth designates the citizenship of the child. If a Vietnam “hooker” fill out the birth record and claimed American citizenship for the child based on the American soldier father, the baby would be an American. The mother could also claim the baby as Vietnamese and the baby would have dual citizenship.
In order for the baby to be anything but a new piece of flesh, a record has to be made by a parent and filed with government.
British National Archives show a son was born to Obama Sr. in 1961 in Kenya
“If you owe or share allegiance with a foreign sovereignty, you are NOT a natural born Citizen eligible to be president. How can you be eligible for the U.S. presidency with a Canadian birth certificate”
He has an American birth certificate, not a Canadian birth certificate.
Your concept in what you believe is not what I see.
Again.
So is F. Chuck Todd a birther??
That still is a 'NBC' via hooker. Kinda belittles the born in America citizenship when ya can just produce one in your 'own' country.
Well, that's settled then. How long has this Todd-anus been on the SCOTUS? In fact, I propose that all legal matters be handled by the MSM. Closing the courts could save this country a fortune.
:British National Archives show a son was born to Obama Sr. in 1961 in Kenya”
That’s what I believe and I think he and the wife registered him as Kanyan and not American. Neither one of them cared one whit about America but they did Kenya.
Bobby Jindal was born in the United States.
“Bobby Jindal was born in the United States”
He was born before both of his parents naturalized as U.S. citizens. He is not a Constitutional Article 2 Section 1 natural born Citizen. He is a statutory citizen.
