a single mother required certain qualifications
_____________________________________________
Jeffie the mother bit for Obama isnt whether of not his mother was married..
Its whether she was old enough to pass on to him her US cxitizenship if he wasnt boen in the US
the mother must be at least 5 years in the us passed the age of 14 meani g she must be at least 19 when the baby is born if he/she is born overseas..
Sinc e Obama is said to have been born on US soil..Hawaii after 1959... that concern is moot...
Meanwhile ted Cruz was not born in the US..
His mother was 19+ so she was able to pass on her American citizenship to him..
But he is not NBC...
His father was not a US citizen when he was born...
If Obama was indeed born in Hawaii, then Ted Cruz has less status for eligibility for POTUS than Obama...
I would be thrilled if Ted had been born in the US because then he would be equal in eligibility with Obama
It seems Obama has set the presdence for one American parent ...even the mother...
However, there is still ther serious problem of those sealed records of Obama’s ...
The criteria for a single mother, or a married mother and her child being considered natural born does apply whether born here or elsewhere.
Cruz’s mother met those criteria. The 1790 Congress made it clear, and the plural they were talking about was not both parents, it was citizens (in the plural) so born, which has been clarified since.
Obama’s mother did not meet the criteria, and Obama’s himself claimed and used foreign citizenship, and claimed it. So, in several aspects, nannie, Obama does not meet the criteria. I believe Cruz does.
But Obama is not what I am talking about here.
If it goes that far, and since he is completely open about it and not trying to hide anything, my guess is that the US Supreme Court will have to weigh in on it to decide...again, if Cruz goes that far.
