Reading comprehension problems. huh?
"No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President"
do you not understand? Don't you have a more pressing Islamic invasion going on right now? I suggest you work on Germanys' Merkel problem and leave to us to work on our Cruz problem.
The author is in short an idiot. Since the constitution specifically grand fathered in all those former British subjects.
Cruz is misleading
He knows where the pitfall lies
Anyone here bother to read the 1790 act would know too
I suggest all the sound and fury here read the Act
It is the only place Natural Born us mentioned
I’m interested in the truth
As usual most freepers just want to holler
On both sides
Cruz needs to apply for a ruling
This really kills the “what the framers had in mind” ploy. The framers had in mind that those who were foreign born can be President under acceptable circumstance.
“Dave isn’t here, man”....
‘The framers had in mind that those who were foreign born can be President under acceptable circumstance.’
And I personally think we can afford to consider Canadian born with some US background as eligible. But to avoid all the hair-pulling and squabbles, a constitutional amendment would clear that up. AND ... when democrats and the Ruling Class get in the way of that amendment, we ‘out’ them.
Further, if Cruz wins, the amendment moves forward to vindicate him retrospectively.
