He will get my vote and I will do MY level best to make sure everyone knows he is eligible.
Federal law says that people born outside the U.S. to a parent or parents who are citizens and who have lived in the country are considered citizens at birth.
Cruz is eligible. His mother is American, his father became an American citizen before Cruz was born. Cruz has lived in the US since he was 4 yrs old and would bet any court would give him the well deserved green light to run.
his father became an American citizen before Cruz was born.
“He will get my vote and I will do MY level best to make sure everyone knows he is eligible.”
Then you deserve to forfeit your right to vote, the right to serve in public office of any trust or profit, and forfeit government benefits.
“Federal law says that people born outside the U.S. to a parent or parents who are citizens and who have lived in the country are considered citizens at birth.”
Your statement proves Ted Cruz is not a natural born citizen. A citizenship conferred by a law is a a citizenship conferred by an act of man, in other words, an unnatural born citizenship. By contrast, a natural born citizenship is conferred by Nature and the natural or inherent circumstance of being born with one and only one citizenship that requires no manmade law to exist. This is why a natural born citizen is not defined by a statute of law. A birthright made by manmade law is an artifice of man and is thereby an unnatural act versus the birthright that exists by the inherent Nature or natural circumstances of the birthright. The moment the birthright is conferred by law, you know it is by definition unnatural and not a natural born birthright.
In 14th Century law only a natural born person could inheirt English properties. This put many English or Norman knights under the King’s command in the King’s French domains at a disadvantage by making it very difficult to inherit their father’s English property rights. To solve the problem, English law was changed to treat the sons of Englishmen as if they were born in England for the purposes of inheritance. So, by the act of a manmade law, these English heirs in France were granted the privileges of natural born Englishmen in England, even though the heirs were not natural born Englishmen. They were Englishmen by an unnatural act of law and not by natural circumstances of a birth in England to two English parents. Further changes in English and the laws of other sovereign nations further distinguished the difference of birthrights arising from datum or birthrights given by grants of from acts of law versus the natural rights a person is inherently born with in the absence of any unnatural and manmade laws.
“Cruz is eligible. His mother is American,”
The U.S. Citizenship of the mother of Ted Cruz made it possible for Ted Cruz and his parents to claim U.S. Citizenship for Ted Cruz only because an unnatural manmade act of law granted the right at birth. If not for the existence of this unnatural manmade act of law, Ted Cruz and his parents would have had no right to claim any form of U.S. Citizenship for Ted Cruz at his birth or after his birth. If Ted Cruz were a natural born U.S. Citizen, it would not be possible for the absence of the law to result in his not being a U.S. Citizen at birth. A natural born citizen has U.S. Citizenship without any grant of authority by unnatural manmade law. No law whatsoever is required to be a natural born citizen, because it is inherent in the circumstances of your coming into existence. It is just like no law is required to revognize you are a human being. You are a human being by virtue of the inherent natural or natural born circumstances of your existence. The moment an unnatural manmade law is required to confer the status of being a human being upon you to differentiate you from a jackass, an elephant, or a fig tree; you are no longer a natural born human being. You are instead an unnatural human being by Act of Congress or whomever.
“his father became an American citizen before Cruz was born.”
Given the fact Rafael Cruz naturalized as a U.S. Citizen in 2005, you have obviously made a false statement to produce a false conclusion.
“Cruz has lived in the US since he was 4 yrs old and would bet any court would give him the well deserved green light to run.”
Just like the court/s that concluded Obamacare is not a Federal tax administered by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service tax collectors armed with AR-15 rifles. All of which puts your judgement and credibility at about the same level as theirs.
