Cruz is not a NBC. Never will be. Even he said he wasn’t not too long ago.
What changed?
In all fairness, Trump didn’t bring this up. Fox news did in 2013. Trump repeated the claim. For every article claiming Cruz is natural born, there is another disputing the fact. The question of whether Cruz is a natural born citizen or the definition of natural born citizen is still undefined.
Judges don’t impress me.
Why hasn’t Cruz brought this up?
It’s a shame that our candidates are not vetted properly prior to the election cycle. Then we wouldn’t have to waste time on such silliness and could concentrate on real issues.
Its not October yet, hes still useful to the uni-party to stop Trump.
Nonsense. Trump talked about Cruz being ineligible in Utah and again in Arizona.
On Judge Pellegrini's Opinion that Cruz is a Natural Born Citizen
Judges are bull gears in the corrupt machine.
You think lawyers suck, judges are the CEOs of Suck Inc.
As someone who doesn’t like Donald Trump, I think Mr. Trump is right in this regard (he may not have even brought this suit). So why do I support Ted Cruz? Because this issue was raised with Barack Hussein Obama who is also not a natural born citizen and it was also rejected by the courts. The lib/commies cannot claim that we must ignore the Constitution when an issue concerns their man, yet switch completely and say it applies when it is someone they don’t like. The courts appear to realize the rank hypocrisy in this and are deciding not to be hypocrites. We have no Constitution now and only Ted Cruz — warts and all — can restore a semblance of one.
You know what else no one covers?
The fact that if Ted Cruz were to get elected, he’d be the first President we’ve ever had that was born of a foreign nation.
Like, really and truly born in another country, foreign birth certificate and all.
I think that would be a pretty remarkable moving of the goal posts. Keep in mind, Ted Cruz OPENLY ADMITS TO having a birth circumstance that many “consistent conservatives” tried desperately to prove was applicable to Obama, because Obama being born in Kenya would have made him ineligible.
But somehow, the circumstances of Cruz’s birth are no problem? It doesn’t add up for me. I don’t want future Presidents to be able to come from Saudi Arabia or Cuba.
I’m very much against the loosening of the historically mandatory tradition of the President actually being born in this country, or at the very least, on a base or US controlled territory (by two AMERICAN parents).
"Your honor."
I gather ted Cruz’s US Birth Certificate, and his other US government docs, never went to the “discovery” phase.
For a smart guy, Cruz makes dumb decisions.
Cruz could spend $10.00 at kinkos/staples (Mitt should get him the ex employee discount) and make copies of his US Birth certificate.
But no, Cruz opts to spend $100,000 (??) to defend himself against all of these lawsuits!
Every article on the planet is of less importance than a judge's decision.
It may not be defined to your satisfaction, but it is defined. A natural born citizen is one whose claim to citizenship derives naturally from the circumstances of his or her birth so that there is a natural and abiding connection between the child and the society and nation into which he or she is born.
But what about us? Shouldn’t we right a wrong? Or are we hypocrites?
Why don’t they address his dual citizenship?
Reviewing articles is not reviewing law and precedent.
That will be news to George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, and William Henry Harrison, all of whom were born British subjects.
But by all means, don't let facts get in the way of a discussion. Neither Trump nor any of his followers ever do.
