Jim Robinson: “His mother was an American citizen. Cruz is an American citizen by birth. A natural born American citizen!!”
To tell the truth, I haven’t thought a lot about the “natural born” provision one way or the other. So you’re saying the natural born provision only bans people who are naturalized citizens?
The CATO Institute seems to think so. Mark Levin agrees. The Heritage Foundation loves him as does the Federalist Society. These people are all constitutional scholars with experience at the Supreme Court level. I’ll take their word on it over a passel of internet sea lawyers any day of the week, even the lawyer Orly Tate who has scored exactly zero in the slam dunk case against Obama.

By the way, you may wish to do a little research into Cruz’s winning record as Texas Solicitor General. The man knows the constitution and he is a constitutional conservative and he is a winner.
There are fifty states ... and most hold presidential primaries.
ZERO of the fifty have this “NBC birther” requirement to gain ballot access. And there is NO case law ... no state statutes in ANY of the fifty states.
It doesn’t exist in current law anywhere. So can you see why most everybody considers it to be a fringe novelty subculture political concept? How many states even require a birth certificate for ballot access?
Of course, I also noticed you could not answer the question, just complain about my approach. Why don’t you grow up, ditch the whiny emotion, and deal with a question you have proven unable to deal with up to this point......
