Coulter: Cruz is not a natural born citizen
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3380362/posts

Her tweet:

NYT: Cruz was born outside the U.S. to 1 American parent: ‘Under the Constitution this makes him a ‘natural born citizen.’ Absolutely false [unquote]

And Coulter was a clerk to the supreme court.

But this runs way against the grain. Modern law establishes that only one parent is needed. Not that I agree that Obama or a royal bastard of England should qualify, but Cruz should be respected at least as much as Obama was.

I always thought the birthers hung their hats on the most dubious part of the issue, where Obama was born. One factor is that mom was a minor at his birth, and "dad" was not. So I'd think that made Obama Kenyan. Another factor is that he probably applied to college and got scholarships as an Indonesian citizen. Did he ever renounce his Indonesian citizenship that replaced his British Commonwealth citizenship? But then again there's the "who's your daddy" issue. If that Kenyan dude he calls daddy was still married, that would make Obama with just one parent, mom, so probably a citizen born in Hawaii.

What's my point? Because of all that uniquesness, the issue isn't settled and there isn't precedent'. The 'pubs have been very sloppy about not getting a definition of natural born citizen since then. The way this is going down the slippery slope, there won't be ANY restrictions on who can be President!

Again, Trump is correct. He does have to be colorful and provocative. It's the only way peole take notice of these very important issues he brings up.
