if you believe in the Constitution then you must insist on it being upheld, no matter the situation. expecting to apply A2S1 to 0bama but not another candidate simply because he makes favorable noises, is just inconsistent and against the law.
the founders inserted the phrase ‘natural born citizen’ as a requirement for the office of the president. they specifically added it to insure the person assuming the office would not have split alliegences, at least by birth.
therefore, a person is a natural born citizen if, upon birth, there are no alternatives.
i was born in the US to an American father and a Scottish mother. when I was born, I was a US citizen due to my father and being in the country... but I was also British by descent through my mom. this results in possible split alliegences, as i grew up travelling to Scotland and having family members travelling here. this is the exact situation the founders structured the Constitution to avoid.
both 0bama and Cruz would be ineligible due to being British by descent, like myself
Of course I believe in the constitution. Cruz was born to a qualified American mother while temporarily working in Canada. He meets all the legal requirements. Don’t know if that same standard can apply to Obama (if he was not born in the US). His mother does not qualify (according to some of the posts on these threads).
You’re golden! And ready to run with it! The only question now is whether you meet the legal requirements to admitted to practice before the Supreme Court
