Let them waste their money.
Excellent point.
Legal arguments do not have to make sense to you, but actully you are correct that a child born of an American over seas that does not have to be naturalized is by that fact a citizen at birth and there fore a natural born citizen. Unless you want to claim that C-sections do not count or some other notion.
* C-section was for humor it has been most lacking about FR of late.
Wait, check these guys donation history. If they run a NY business they’ll have donated to leftists!
Those new york values evidently
It is quite bizarre that we do not know for sure who is eligible to be the President. I can't imagine why Cruz didn't strive for clarity before the campaign started.
Other pieces in the puzzle. Have we ever seen Cruz's birth certificate? Did he register for the US draft? Have we seen the certificate issued saying he is a US citizen?
In November NY is going to vote for the most socialist candidate, so the primary my not even be relevant.
Barry Korman and William Gallo? And what are their ties to Trump?
Hmmmmm, seems to be a pattern there. Trump and associates.
I see Trump elated. That will enable the 2 strongest branches of anti-establishmentism to unite.
Yawn.
And this requirement of “exclusive” allegiance via “subject to the “exclusive” jurisdiction of the United States, including political jurisdiction” was upheld in Congressional hearings in 2000 when hearings were held on an amendment to the Constitution that was brought by Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts. Lengthy hearings, with witnesses from both sides of the argument and Congress denied the change to the Constitution. Then again in 2004, same situation, only this time, the coauthors of the bill were Republicans and Democrats trying to remove that pesky “exclusive” clause that stands in their way of finally destroying what is left of the US Constitution. “Citizenship” is the sacred thread that binds a society and secures borders for their posterity, for all future generations; once that is destroyed (dumbed down), they can now have their utopian global society.
well, if what you are dreaming of is a global utopia, then Cruz definitely is your man, Constitution be damned!
For those who don't know, in NY, the "Supreme" court is the LOWEST court. It is a trial court, not even an appellate court.
They already tried this in Illinois, and got shot down. Also, if they are going to deny Cruz, then they will also have to deny the GOPe darling Rubio, so I doubt this will come to anything.
Do you mean Barack Hussein Obama’s Department of Justice? Hahahahaha!
The ill ruling ignored original intent. Most conservatives know what a Natural born us citizen literally means.... Now does not Obama hail from ill... You think ill cares about original intent of the Constitution? Cruz sure does not.
What you think is irrelevant. What I think is also irrelevant. What is relevant are the current laws. And yes, millions of babies that you describe are, under current law, US citizens at birth and NBCs.
Sorry, that is not the current law. The current law is found in USC Title 8 section 1401.
