I am of the camp that demands the narrowest, tightest requirements on presidential candidates. Some say it's not fair that a child was born elsewhere through no fault of their own, others ask about the adopted or orphaned with no knowledge of their parents.

I am of the opinion that greater constitutional threats exist from electing anyone else. As Lincoln said:

By general law life and limb must be protected; yet often a limb must be amputated to save a life; but a life is never wisely given to save a limb.

I am also a believer in the Rudy Giuliani "broken window" approach to law enforcement; if you pay attention to the small stuff, it helps to create an atmosphere of order and lawfulness, thereby preventing more serious crimes from happening.

Why start off a new administration on Day 1 with the cloud of unconstitutionality hanging over it? Take that distraction off the table immediately, and create the atmosphere of order and lawfulness.

I'm sure we can find a strong executive leader who would put Cruz to great use at Justice to de-politicize it and rebuild its credibility. That job has Cruz' name all over it.

By all the definitions of NBC that I've endorsed, Cruz is not a natural born citizen - he is not the Posterity of We the People. He is not the citizen child of two citizen parents at the time of his birth. There are other ways for him to add tremendous value.
