Plus Cruz was born in Canada to a Cuban father. That’s basically the same circumstances as Obama. It is just not a good idea to run him even though he would make an excellent president. I honestly believe Hillary is going to win either way in 2016.
You really don’t have a clue about the issue you try to insert on this thread.
Been hashed, rehashed and re-rehashed. Ad nauseum, ad infinitim.
You’re wrong.
Jim Robinson says so.
Mark Levin says so.
Ted Cruz says so.
The majority of legal scholarship says so.
The Constitution does not say you are right.
It does not define NBC.
Going elsewhere for that definition and looking for statutory laws or court decisions gets you to this -
Cruz is a NBC under the statutory laws of his birth year, and no court ever ruled otherwise on the issue. Under the relevant statutes, the child born to a citizen parent even if over a boundary line at time of birth is a natural born citizen.
No, statutorily it does not have to be two parents. That is spelled out clearly. No, it does not have to be within the U.S. border, likewise.
I’m not going over this again. Several FReeper researchers and JR himself have posted relevant documentation many dozens of times.
We don’t know where Obama was born. We know Ted was born in Canada. We know who his parents are. We know his citizen mother was older than the statutory age requirement. We don’t even know who Obama’s parents are. Purportedly the woman who gave birth to him was Ann Dunham, an American citizen. Purportedly it was in Hawaii. But we don’t know because of so many doubtful circumstances.
Here’s something we do know. The statute stated back then that Ms. Dunham needed to have been at least 18 yrs old to qualify under her statutory requirement and she was several months short of that.
You might as well give it a rest. Birtherism isn’t going to decide anything. And if you’re going to make an issue of birtherism, making short, cryptic, ill-informed statements on a thread about Cruz’s popularity and presidential candidate polling, isn’t going to cut it.
Attacking people, claiming they don’t care about the Constitution, won’t either.
That ship has sailed.
