Unfortunately nothings prohibits a Muslim Socialist Marxist Scumbag from being a US president.

at this point in the controversy the issue raised should not be over eligibility but over the impeachable offense of forging the documents as provem beyond doubt by the Maricopa County sherrifs office forensic investigators

How this ever slipped through the cracks is beyond belief

From Wikipedia:

Texas Solicitor General

Appointed to the office of Solicitor General of Texas by Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott

Cruz served in that position from 2003 to 2008.

Cruz has authored more than 80 United States Supreme Court briefs and presented 43 oral arguments, including nine before the United States Supreme Court.[3][21][19] Cruz's record of having argued before the Supreme Court nine times is more than any practicing lawyer in Texas or any current member of Congress.[43] Cruz has commented on his nine cases in front of the U.S. Supreme Court: "We ended up year after year arguing some of the biggest cases in the country. There was a degree of serendipity in that, but there was also a concerted effort to seek out and lead conservative fights." In the

landmark case of District of Columbia v. Heller, Cruz drafted the amicus brief signed by attorneys general of 31 states, which said that the D.C. handgun ban should be struck down as infringing upon the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.Cruz also presented oral argument for the amici states in the companion case to Heller before the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

In addition to his victory in Heller, Cruz has successfully defended the constitutionality of Ten Commandments monument on the Texas State Capitol grounds before the Fifth Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court, winning 5-4 in Van Orden v. Perry.

Cruz authored a U.S. Supreme Court brief for all 50 states successfully defending the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools, winning 9-0 in Elk Grove Unified School District v. Newdow. Cruz served as lead counsel for the state and successfully defended the multiple litigation challenges to the 2003 Texas congressional redistricting plan in state and federal district courts and before the U.S. Supreme Court, winning 5-4 in League of United Latin American Citizens v. Perry. Cruz also successfully defended, in Medellin v. Texas, the State of Texas against an attempt by the International Court of Justice to re-open the criminal convictions of 51 murderers on death row throughout the United States.

Cruz has been named by American Lawyer magazine as one of the 50 Best Litigators under 45 in America, by The National Law Journal as one of the 50 Most Influential Minority Lawyers in America, and by Texas Lawyer as one of the 25 Greatest Texas Lawyers of the Past Quarter Century.

I hope he does. If there is anything left after barry and his little beotches lindsay and juanita start WWIII.

By law, his mother’s U.S. citizenship automatically confers natural citizenship to Cruz, just as — for those who continue to doubt the location of Obama’s birth — the citizenship of Obama’s American mother conferred it to him.

Wrong! Obama's mother was too young and hadn't lived in Hawaii the required number of years past the age of 14.

[xzins]

He is a natural born citizen. I can’t think of any reason for him not to run. He has an extremely accomplished background, and the only reason I could see for him not running is his own personal decision.

"This is such a nonissue, regardless of whether the candidate is Republican or Democrat. Nevertheless, narrow-minded individuals, including some prominent personalities such as billionaire former presidential contender Donald Trump, are doggedly trying to concoct controversy and introduce doubt where there should be none. "

A non-issue? Not to those of us who who regard the Constitution as the Supreme Law of the Land!

As with other issues, like service in the Vietnam War, the Left pushes the bar sky-high for Republican candidates and ignores it when it comes to traitors like Kerry.

America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Jim it’s a shame we’ll have to fight this battle here on FR. Cruz is eligible to be pres. End of story.

But there are lots of FReepers who don’t feel that way. The NBC wars will rage. A shame.

I intend to stay away. And I hope you and yours will police the Cruz threads and be on the lookout for FReepers trying to turn these threads into a NBC fight. Hijacked threads really do FR a disservice.

the Paleo-birthers are nothing but libs in disguise ... taking their political battles to the federal court system because they know they cannot win in the state legislatures.

No amount of birth certificates

I believe the amount of birth certificates has been *zero*, unless you count the ones allegedly found in Kenya.

There have been multiple "Certificates of Live Birth", meaning that at the very least, all but one were forgeries, but we've just been told that there is one and that that should be good enough for anyone. And the fact that there was one doesn't actually state what it said.

Curiously, did anyone actually swear an affidavit that there was or about what it said.

[mylife]

The Dallas Morning Bowel Movement sure has it out for Senator Cruz.

[Venturer]

If Obama is Legitimate

Ted Cruz is legitimate.

IMO neither of them is, but what’s good for the goose——

[Baynative]

Thanks, Jim. I couldn't agree with you more.

Ted Cruz is smart, conscientious and patriotic. This makes him a natural born enemy of the left and the media, as can be seen in their relentless birther attacks.

[jazusamo]

I pray Ted Cruz will run.

Sarah Palin is also a choice of mine but I have the feeling she won’t.

Hope I’m wrong because the two of them on the ticket would be fantastic.

[X-spurt]

Absolutely can not believe a word from Dallas News about anything conservative. That rag is among the worst.

BO has a birth certificate? Show me a paper copy.

[SoConPubbie]

Ted Cruz Ping!
