Fling poo. It's ok.

Ted doesn’t strike me as the Seth Lord that is Obama simply because he was always bitch-slapping the rest of the the Senate when the were trying to do something unconstitutional or damaging to the country.

[SpaceBar]

I am a Trump supporter. Ted Cruz, despite his flaws is nothing like the piece of filth we know as ‘obama’.

[Crucial]

But Ted is probably not eligible. He does fight for America though. He fights harder than Trump and the rest of the Republican field. I think he gets a bad rap about immigration because he is humane. I do believe he would close the border, regardless if he was elected. He would also be calm with foreign leaders, I think. Trump is not going to have a cool head.

how about this

my Italians grandparents who came over late in life were more patriotic than 99 percent of the under 35 crowd now and I would have a man who got here at 20 and loved the country be president than the spoiled garbage we have in this country now.

outdated and backwards law.

because we KNOW how much the under 35 white college people who probably go back six generations LOVE this country.

I live in NYC. It’s about as foreign a land as any other compared to the rest of the country.

you will Lie, you will Cheat, and you will Steal, among other things, to get ahead. At least in the financial world

or you will fail.

I hope trump isn’t applying that to his run for office.

I'm with the firm Woo, Flung, Poo, Esq in Shanghai.

Parents must be US citizens so that there would be no divided loyalties. Father absolutely
had to be. Cruz, Rubio, Obama all disqualified. But what court will adjudicate this?
Who knows?

[Impy]

Under the citizenship law Cruz was a citizen at birth, hence natural born, that’s all it means. He’s also thoroughly American.

Obama, if he were born overseas would not be born a citizen under that same law because his mother was not 21 years old yet. So if you believe his mother took a transatlantic flight while pregnant to birth him in a third world craphole village, then he was not a natural born citizen, and since he was never naturalized he wouldn’t be a citizen at all actually, though he’d be entitled to apply for naturalization.

He’s an internationalist commie toad who hates this country which is why some conservatives are so eager that he not be an American citizen.

Enough with the birther crap, really. Cruz is eligible, Cruz is American. No court is ever gonna say otherwise. Your precious Trump is winning anyway so why not cut the crap?

[Utmost Certainty]

Cruz hasn’t accomplished anything. He’s just a windbag who’s offered nothing more than rhetoric. His appeal to conservatives is derived from ‘hope’ and magical thinking.

In this regard, Cruz is very much like Obama.

[BlackFemaleArmyColonel]

“We used to go crazy because of Obama’s birth in Kenya to a foreign father and American mother. How is Ted Cruz different? Would a child born here to foreigners be any different? That’s Marco’s plight. I’m interested in seeing how the poo flings and also if instead of Marco or Ted, the child’s first name was Mohammed twenty years from now with massive immigration and amnesty.”

Agree!!

Ammo for sale.

[Yosemitest]

I have my doubts about your "seriousness" on the issue.
I believe you're more interested in the "Fling poo.".

However, I'll try to answer your questions beyond any doubt at all, according to the Constitution and the LAW .

"We used to go crazy because of Obama's birth in Kenya to a foreign father and American mother.
How is Ted Cruz different ?"

SHORT ANSWER:

Eleanor Darragh, mother of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), is a natural born citizen of the U.S., born Nov. 23, 1934 in Delaware,
and according to the law at the time of Ted Cruz's birth (Dec. 22, 1970) established his natural born citizenship by birth.

Contrast that with Stanley Ann Dunham, the mother ofBarack Hussein Obama II, (a.k.a. Barry Soetoro).

Stanley Ann Dunham could NOT impart U.S. citizen to her son, Barack Obama II, because she did NOT meet the legal requirements to do so,
at the time her son was born IN the Coast Provincial General Hospital, MOMBASA, KENYA at 7:21 pm on August 4, 1961.

DETAILED ANSWER:

Barack Hussein Obama II, aka Barry Soetoro, has a real birth certificate, with his right footprint on it.
All you have to do is look for it.

His father was NOT an immigrant to the United States.
Barack Obama Sr. was a "Transient Alien" because he did NOT intend on residing in the United States permanently.
Barack Obama Sr. was a dual citizen of Great Britain and Kenya, and NEVER a United States Citizen.
Read British National Archives Show Son Born To Obama Sr. In 1961 In Kenya!
His mother could NOT impart U.S. citizen to her son, Barack Obama II,
because she did NOT meet the legal requirements to do so,
at the time her son was born IN the Coast Provincial General Hospital, MOMBASA, KENYA at 7:21 pm on August 4, 1961.
Democrats knew this and tried to eliminate the "Natural Born Citizen" requirement at least 8 times BEFORE Obama won his election in 2008.


Contrast that with TED CRUZ's parents.

FACT: Cruz’s father’s Cuban nationality at the time of Cruz’s birth, is irrelevant, according to the law at that time,
just so long as he was a LEGAL Immigrant at the time of Ted Cruz's birth,
AND both of Ted Cruz's parents were legally married to each other.

What are the rules for people born between December 23, 1952 and November 13, 1986?

The 14th Amendment IS a part of the U.S. Constitution and states in SECTION 5.
The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
So, under that power to legislate, Congress legislated and the President signed into law:
When ONE parent was a US citizen and the other a foreign national,
the US citizen parent must have resided in the US for a total of 10 years prior to the birth of the child,
with five of the years after the age of 14.

... While there were initially rules regarding what the child must do to retain citizenship,
amendments since 1952 HAVE ELIMINATED THESE REQUIREMENTS.

When Ted Cruz was born, his parents were "IN WEDLOCK".

They married, moved to Calgary, Alberta, and in late 1970 had their first and only child, Rafael Edward Cruz.
Cruz was born on December 22, 1970 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada where his parents, Eleanor Elizabeth Darragh Wilson and Rafael Bienvenido Cruz.

Cruz's mother was born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware, in a family of three quarters Irish and one quarter Italian descent.
Eleanor Darragh, mother of Ted Cruz, was raised in Delaware, graduated from a Catholic High School (1952) in the U.S., as well as Rice University (1956),
so clearly she meets the residency requirements.

Source

In 1957, Rafael Bienvenido Cruz (Ted Cruz's father) decided to get out of Cuba by applying to the University of Texas.
Upon being admitted, he adds, he got a four-year student visa at the U.S. Consulate in Havana.

"Since he liked to eat seven days a week, he worked seven days a week, and he paid his way through the University of Texas," Ted Cruz says of his father, "and then ended up getting a job and eventually going on to start a small business and to work towards the American dream."

Only he did that in Canada, where Ted was born.
His father went there after having earlier obtained political asylum in the U.S. when his student visa ran out.
He then got a green card, he says, and married Ted's mother, an American citizen.
The two of them moved to Canada to work in the oil industry.

"I worked in Canada for eight years," Rafael Cruz says. "And while I was in Canada, I became a Canadian citizen."

The elder Cruz says he renounced his Canadian citizenship when he finally became a U.S. citizen in 2005 —
48 years after leaving Cuba.
Why did he take so long to do it?
"I don't know. I guess laziness, or — I don't know," he says.


So there is the law for the time Ted Cruz was born,
AND HOW Ted Cruz's PARENTS fulfilled ALL those requirements of the law that time, for Ted Cruz to be a "Natural Born Citizen".
Ted Cruz did NOT NEED a Court and a Judge to "Nationalize" him.

Next Question :

"Would a child born here to foreigners be any different?
That's Marco's plight. "

Look at the LAW and read the requirements.

Also, notice this:

... in the definitive citizenship case of US v. Wong Kim Ark.
In that case, the Supreme Court told us quite clearly, in not one, but in two different ways, that Wong Kim Ark,
who was born on US soil of two NON-citizen Chinese parents, wasn’t thereby JUST “a citizen” —
he was ALSO “natural born.”

If he was “natural born,” and he was “a citizen,”
then it is inescapable that the Court found young Mr. Wong to be a natural born citizen.


The 6 Justices who agreed on the majority opinion (against only 2 dissenters) also discussed the implications of such status for Presidential eligibility.
So they in fact found
that Wong Kim Ark would be legally eligible to run for President upon meeting the other qualifications — reaching the age of 35, and 14 years’ residence.

Mr. Wong, who lived most of his life as a simple Chinese cook in Chinatown, never ran for President, of course.
And in the highly racial America of his day Wong almost certainly could not have been elected if he had tried.

But according to the United States Supreme Court, legally speaking,
Mr. Wong DID HAVE the legal qualification to eventually run for, and serve as, President of the United States —
if the People should have decided that he was the right person for the job.

There’s much deeper we could go into the issue, of course.
I haven’t found the time to refute Mr. Apuzzo’s bogus “two citizen parents” claims in the full, absolute detail that I would like to.
There is an awful lot of refutation here, here, and here,
though.

It would be nice to put ALL of the pieces together in one place.
However, for those who don’t mind a bit of digging, the references given above are a good start.

But never mind — a court in the State of Arizona the day before yesterday quite clearly and authoritatively refuted Mr. Apuzzo for me.
The court smacked down Apuzzo’s and Donofrio’s claims in no uncertain terms.

Judge Richard Gordon DISMISSED the ballot-challenge case of Allen v. Arizona Democratic Party.
And he did so “WITH PREJUDICE,” which means
“This case has been fully heard and judged on its merits
and we’re done with it —
don’t attempt to darken my door with this same accusation ever again.”

Note that again:
Apuzzo’s claim has been officially tried in a court of law, on its merits, and found to be totally cracked.
And the ruling struggled to stretch barely past two pages into three.
That is NOT a lot of discussion,
which indicates that this was not anything even REMOTELY resembling a “close call.”

Was Lee Harvey Oswald NBC?

If we want to get into hypotheticals... A child born to two US parents in the middle of Kansas could move to Abu-Dhabi at the age of 10 after his dad is transferred by his oil company. They are there for 15 years. While there, the child goes from primary school through college and is radicalized and taught everything upside down from our country’s values. Then he returns to the US at age 25, landing in some liberal scum-bucket city, is later elected to local office and works his way up to Governor or US Senate and later runs for president and E-O’s tolerance for sharia-law (or at least, refuses to enforce US law over Sharia). Political correctness in the media and pop-culture would serve to insulate that radicalized president and highlight and swoon over how “cool” it is to have such a “worldly” president, paving the way for the next, more lefty/radical president. Always ratchet to the left. Never to the right.

Can’t possibly happen you say? I would point you to Bernie Sanders as someone who is a bat-crap crazy-lib/prog and utterly repulsive to our country’s founding ideals that actually stands as good a chance as any of being nominated. Considering the liberal-leaning tendencies of *at least* half (if not slightly more) of today’s voting populace, that should not be too far of a stretch.

My main point is that I don’t think the candidate is necessarily the *worst* of the problems. The candidate can be problematic for sure, but not one that *should* be able to doom the country all by themselves. The country should be able to survive a bad president for 8 years, presuming we don’t keep electing country-dooming bad presidents consecutively. Damage would certainly be inflicted, but we should survive. What I don’t believe the country can survive is the continued persistence of a voting public who would elect the likes of 0bama — twice, or Sanders or Clinton. That problem — getting voters to stop voting with their hand held-out for their “fair-share” — defies remediation in the short term and would likely take generations to turn around.

Just my opinion and I hope to heaven I’m wrong.

[Fantasywriter]

Cruz is running against Trump. That is the difference.

[Timmy]

Not “we.” Birthers were a wacko minority of “we.”

[lakecumberlandvet]

The NBC presidential requirement was de facto changed with the election of the usurper, 0bama.
