Seriously people. What's going on here? Does the Constitution still matter?

The facts:

Sen. Cruz was born in a foreign country.

His mother was a U.S. citizen when Ted was born.

Since Ted Cruz was born in another country, it took a Congressional statue for his mother to pass US citizenship to him.

Congress (only) has the power of "naturalization" per our Constitution.

Ted Cruz is a "naturalized" citizen from birth (because his birth citizenship relies on a Congressional statue from that period of time).

Fine, he can be a Senator, a Rep, a Govenor and so on. But.. Ted Cruz is most definitely not a "natural born Citizen" since Congress can not declare such on their own (absent participation in an amendment).

Sen. Ted Cruz has been a great Senator to date, I'm sure he'll continue to be so. But enough already with this absurd notion that he's a "natural born Citizen." The Constitution mandates a POTUS (& VPUTOS) be one.

No more usurpers.

"No more usurpers."

Okay, that didn't take long for a new tagline to assert itself. Think I'll keep this one for awhile.

I'm going to DC this spring. Can you tell me where this statue is? I'd like to look at it firsthand. Is it near the Washington Monument?
