There are many issues I take the high road on, but on this one - I’m all for Cruz at this point. Since the term, “natural born citizen” doesn’t seem to have one true meaning - and since this country elected an American-hating man for 2 terms, yeah, I’m willing to give Cruz the benefit of the doubt on this issue. He’s solid on everything else so far.
So, you hold on to your 100% checklist and we’ll probably end up with a Hillary Clinton in 2016.
I'm with you.
If in doubt, revert to natural law. In this case, I see no difficulty.
“Since the term, “natural born citizen” doesn’t seem to have one true meaning”
Yeah. It does have one meaning. American citizen born in America. Your premise is flawed. You are arguing that ‘no principle exists ergo we should not follow it’. This is no different than what liberals argue.
I do not think that, for the sake of one election, it is worth conceding this principle. There are very good reasons to want the presidency headed by someone born in America and that a conservative would deviate this principle opens the door to an election between a republican and a democrat, neither of whom were born in America, and where both are beholden not to Americans but to interests outside of America.
This is bad. Very, very bad.
