I agree. I’m not 100% sure if Cruz is tehnically a Natural Born Citizen, but he is certainly a patriotic Amercian.
Assuming Obama really was born in Hawaii, he technically would be a NBC, but by the spirit of the law, he is not even close. He was born to a foreign, Marxist father, who returned to his home country shortly after his son’s birth and a Marxist mother. He was born (if we believe the official story) in a state that had just become a state and is thousands of miles from the mainland. He spent his formative years in Indonesia, an Islamic, anti-American nation.
Even if such a man showed no signs of divided loyalties and was ostensibly a patriotic American (unlike Obama), the voters should reject such a man from being POTUS based upon the potential of divided loyalities and his lack of a real, American upbringing. I think Barack Hussein Obama is exactly the type of man the founders were thinking of when they adopted the natural born citizen requirement.
"Presidential office requires a natural-born citizen if the child was not born to two U.S. citizen parents, which of course is what exempts John McCain though he was born in the Panama Canal. US Law very clearly stipulates: “.If only one parent was a U.S. citizen at the time of your birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for at least ten years, at least five of which had to be after the age of 16.” Barack Obama’s father was not a U.S. citizen and Obama’s mother was only 18 when Obama was born, which means though she had been a U.S. citizen for 10 years, (or citizen perhaps because of Hawai’i being a territory) the mother fails the test for being so for at least 5 years **prior to** Barack Obama’s birth, but *after* age 16. It doesn't matter *after*."
Since his passports disappeared and his school records, we don't know if his stepfather adopted him and made him an Indonesian citizen and if he went to college as a foreign student.
At first I was against Cruz running, (since there is a question on his natural-born status) but the way the Dems have flagrantly broken laws over and over again, and how the Supreme Court allowed the unconstitutional Obamacare to stand by calling it a tax, I say he should go for it. I'd like to see a ruling before it gets too far down the line on Ted Cruz. Maybe the Tea Party needs to have someone take it to court now, so that we can get an early ruling on his eligibility.
