You summarize it quite nicely
and to answer your question about how to we get back to the rule of law AND intent of our Constitution sadly I don’t think we can.
It would likely take a constitutional amendment to define Natural Born and restate it as a requirement for Pres and VP
Just like we missed the opportunity to make English our official language and we missed to opportunity to repeal the anchor baby statute
we probably have missed on this as well
The ballot box, electing principled conservatives is our best hope now
The problems with elections are as follows:
1. Massive coordinated election fraud. Massive. Which brings us to point 2:
2. Rs are either on the gravy train until the wheels fall off, liberals themselves, or fearful little eunuchs. The very few with principles and guts can do nothing against the vast majority.
3. There isn’t time to gradually, over a decade or so, try to turn this thing around.
4. I think the next box will be forced upon us by them using it against us.
I think we are tearing ourselves up over this and the only people who will benefit from it will be our enemies, the enemies of our republic.
Being a conservative, I tend to take a strict interpretation of the Constitution and the law. But, the meaning of “Natural Born Citizen”, is not well-defined in law. We can and must go back to the founders’ intent for guidance. I really hope that I can find some way to prove that Cruz is eligible for the office of president. However, I would not vote for him to that office until I can resolve that issue in my mind. I am a Texan and I think Cruz would make an excellent president, but I don’t want to be guilty of the same expediency that supporters of Obama used to get their man with questionable status elected.
