Did you know that “Jeb” is for John Ellis Bush and Ike’s name was actually Dwight Davis Eisenhower?
I do not want Trump to knock it off. I want this issue to be resolved now! Whatever Trump is doing now, Jeb or Hillary will do later.
A child born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) of the INA provided the U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for the time period required by the law applicable at the time of the child's birth. (For birth on or after November 14, 1986, a period of five years physical presence, two after the age of fourteen, is required. For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five after the age of fourteen, is required for physical presence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child.) The U.S. citizen parent must be the genetic or the gestational parent and the legal parent of the child under local law at the time and place of the child’s birth to transmit U.S. citizenship."
The previous post was for out of wedlock. Cruz's parents were married, so the above paragraph applies.
Do we know if Cruz's mom met the 10 year residency and the 5 year after age 14 requirements?
So there is a big question about whether Cruz is a natural born citizen, and a small question about whether Cruz is even a citizen.
After “The Letter” this will all be a moot point.
“If you want me to vote for you Donald, tell what you believe in; I don’t need you to bash your opponents.”
Are you that unknowing or unobservant of American politics. American politicians use to kill each other in duels. Andrew Jackson killed a man in a duel before he was elected president. Now that is some kind of bashing.
Since his campaign roll out last June, cite a few of those flips back and forth. I mean statements from him directly, not accusations from people like you.
FUDT
I'm fed up with your childish, self centered behavior.
Yeah, there was no issue with Obama either. /s
3 months ago Trump said Cruz was a citizen. Now he says he isn’t. And yes, if trump becomes POTUS he will seek revenge on all those who spoke against him. Like all Tyrants.
I personally believe Cruz to be a NBC, though I think he did himself no favors by having it still hanging out there going into election season.
My conservative brother, on the other hand, is very dissatisfied with the notion of anyone being eligible who could have claimed dual or foreign citizenship at any point in their lifetime. He will not support Cruz for that reason alone.
this is getting so silly.
This argument doesn’t even make sense.
If he's a Canadian anchor baby.. that implies he's not truly Canadian ... which means he is an American.
Can we just focus on the important issues and stop with this made up silly crap?
A Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) is official evidence of United States citizenship, issued to a child born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent or parents, who meet the requirements for transmitting citizenship under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)..
Where is the CRBA?
There is a paper trail, Ted sealed the records because he is not a natural born citizen.
Oh bull! This is something Cruz needs to solve and put behind him. I can’t believe he hasn’t already done it. “Precarious” indeed.
Yawn.
You cited the section of that document that applies to unmarried parents. Ted Cruz's parents were married in 1969. He was born in 1970.
Here is the correct section:
Birth Abroad to One Citizen and One Alien Parent in WedlockSo, it's "acquires," not "may acquire."A child born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) of the INA provided the U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for the time period required by the law applicable at the time of the child's birth. (For birth on or after November 14, 1986, a period of five years physical presence, two after the age of fourteen, is required. For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five after the age of fourteen, is required for physical presence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child.) The U.S. citizen parent must be the genetic or the gestational parent and the legal parent of the child under local law at the time and place of the child’s birth to transmit U.S. citizenship.
They would be US citizens but not natural born citizens unless their father was also a US citizen and the site in France was a United States terrority, like an embassy or a military base.
The highest standard was reserved for POTUS.
This my opinion and I have reason to believe - due to what has been recorded as Cruz’s own answer to the question - that this was also Cruz’s opinion:
Cruz: quote Two citizen parents and born on the soil. unquote
The only way for this to be truly settled is for the SCOTUS to rule on it but I agree with the stricter rules and one of the reasons is Barack Obama, supposedly born on the soil of one citizen parent and one foreign father.
I suppose if Cruz gets away with this Obama can reasonably wonder why he got so much grief especially when he produced documentation, however shaky, of being born in the USA.
Not much of an issue to base your entire campaign on. Ducking Donald should let us know what he’s done in his past that makes him even remotely conservative. Not an impossible request, but six months have gone by and all we get are nasty Twitter fits and phoney birther nonsense..zero substance.
Ted is a popular shortened form of Edward. Remember the late Edward Kennedy was called Ted. Did not mean to equate Kennedy with Cruz though.
And that makes him equal to Obama on this issue.
I consider Rubio to be equal to Obama too, because Rubio's lawyers are trying to squash the eligibility lawsuit against Rubio by claiming the plaintiff doesn't have standing.
