Cruz, like McCain, was introduced as a spoiler. As his and Obama’s Con. Law professor, Larry Tribe pronounced in the Boston Globe, Cruz argued the oritinalist or conservative constitutionalist position as one of his best students. Yes, every Senator signed Senate Res 511, in which Judge and DHS Chair Chertoff pronounce the “born to parents who were citizens” requirement, and Larry repeated the jus soli - born on our soil - part of the requirement.

The strategy appears to be to define Cruz, who worked for, and currently includes, Bush family operatives at key positions on his committee. Cruz offers enough to naïve conservatives to throw a convention to the party controllers. They have already identified their likely candidate, Paul Ryan. It doesn’t matter who they chose. It simply can’t be Trump. Trump probably doesn’t have hidden treasures in Panama. He doesn’t owe anyone, as Cruz may, and Roberts appears to. Remember, from the refreshing honesty of Congresswoman Sheila Jackson, the exhaustive database containing every detail of the lives of our senior government officials. We are governed by corruption. Trump is a threat because his brand of corruption is already very public.

Cruz’ connection with Goldman Saches, with the CFR, with open boarders, the globalists with whom he grew up, are there, for those who look. He was a Canadian citizen when he became a Senator. His triple or quadruple citizenship at birth is no secret, but like Obama, neither party’s untouchables will talk talk about it. Should one of them get bold, he/she will be reminded of Georgia’s Nathan Deal, who wrote an open letter to the White House demanded by his constituents and got his answer in the form of an IRS probe and letter from the Congressional Ethics committee. Cruz is doing his job for the powerful private corporation known as the Republican Party.

Cruz will disappear into the money machines of global banking after his moment of usefulness. He knows, better than most, the beliefs of our founders and framers and diplomats, Paine, Franklin, Hamilton, Jay, and Justices Jay, Marshall, Waite, Gray, Hughes, Black, and 14th Amendment author Bingham. Cruz, unlike most law school graduates, may have read Vattel and Pufendorf and Bynkershoek. He knows that all of these whose ideas he once defended, lauded, know Cruz cannot be a Constitutional president, unless we accept that the Constitution, as written, and decisions of the Supreme Court may be reversed by the legislature and executive. He knows the truth. So does Tribe’s other student, Barack Obama, but Barack didn’t have to throw himself on the sword of history by lying about his citizenship status.

Obama correctly defined himself as “native-born”, but never a natural born citizen. Native-born comes from the language of the 14th Amendment meaning born on our soil. He knew his alien father violated the constitution, but Barack, like Larry Tribe, told us he doesn’t regard the Constitution as current law. He subscribes, like Larry, to a “Living Constitution”. He told us long before he was “made” president, that to valid he wanted to add a block of positive rights, as FDR told us he wished to do.

You got that right Spaulding. Good to see you!

John Bingham, "father of the 14th Amendment", the abolitionist congressman from Ohio who prosecuted Lincoln's assassins, reaffirmed the definition known to the framers, not once, but twice during Congressional discussions of Citizenship pertaining to the upcoming 14th Amendment and a 3rd time nearly 4 years after the 14th was adopted.

The House of Representatives definition for "natural born Citizen" was read into the Congressional Record during the Civil War, without contest!

"All from other lands, who by the terms of [congressional] laws and a compliance with their provisions become naturalized, are adopted citizens of the United States; all other persons born within the Republic, of parents owing allegiance to no other sovereignty, are natural born citizens. Gentleman can find no exception to this statement touching natural-born citizens except what is said in the Constitution relating to Indians." (Cong. Globe, 37th, 2nd Sess., 1639 (1862)).

The House of Representatives definition for "natural born Citizen" was read into the Congressional Record after the Civil War, without contest!

“every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.” (Cong. Globe, 39th, 1st Sess., 1291 (1866))"

No other Representative ever took issue with these words on the floor of the House. If you read the Congressional Globe to study these debates, you will see that many of the underlying issues were hotly contested. However, Bingham’s definition of “natural born citizen” (born of citizen parents in the sovereign territory of the U.S.) was never challenged on the floor of the House. Without a challenge on the definition, it appears the ALL where in agreement.

Then, during a debate (see pg. 2791) on April 25, 1872 regarding a certain Dr. Houard, who had been incarcerated in Spain, the issue was raised on the floor of the House of Representatives as to whether the man was a US citizen (generally. they were not trying to decide if he was a NBC). Representative Bingham (of Ohio), stated on the floor:

“As to the question of citizenship I am willing to resolve all doubts in favor of a citizen of the United States. That Dr. Houard is a natural-born citizen of the United States there is not room for the shadow of a doubt. He was born of naturalized parents within the jurisdiction of the United States, and by the express words of the Constitution, as amended to-day, he is declared to all the world to be a citizen of the United States by birth.”

(The term “to-day”, as used by Bingham, means “to date”. Obviously, the Constitution had not been amended on April 25, 1872. And, since they knew he was, without a doubt, a natural born Citizen...he was, of course, considered a citizen of the U.S.)

The take away from this is that, while the debates and discussions went on for years in the people's house regarding "citizenship" and the 14th Amendment, not a single Congressman disagreed with the primary architect's multiple statements on who is a natural born Citizen per the Constitution. The United States House was in complete agreement at the time. NBC = born in sovereign U.S. territory, to 2 citizen parentS who owe allegiance to no other country.
