"For Cruz, Schwarzenegger, and a number of other potential candidates, the Natural Born Citizenship Clause raises a critical question: Is anyone born outside the United States constitutionally eligible to serve as president?""

I have followed the nbc issue since I came here. What seems obvious by the ussc refusing to rule on ob they have left a situation in which the law may not have been followed
I would vote for Cruz, dement and maybe 1 or two others, but I sure like to get a court ruling sooner than later
“This question has been settled on FR. Several freepers have been zotted over the subject. Cruz is eligible.”
You sound so German.
You can read earlier in the thread where Jim stated his position. It is settled on FR. Freepers have been zotted over pushing the issue. Those are facts.

Having one American parent would be enough if the parent lived here a certain number of years and the baby was born overseas. The problem in Obama’s case if he was born overseas would be that his mother only lived here 4 years after age 14 when it needed to be 5. She was only 18 at his birth. This requirement was lowered to 2 years at some point after his birth.
But even if Obama was determined ineligible, since we can’t retroactively undo his presidency, the Supreme Court should give us one exception to the rule of our own to balance things out in the interest of equal protection. But let’s not push the case since that would open the door for RINO Arnie...
I wonder what that Second Swear-in-Ceremony was really about?
yes and the heavy DUTY!
It will be amusing to see if Cruz runs, the leftists suddenly become birthers (again....remember they are the ones who brought up the whole issue with McCain).
Ohh, what a complex web we weave....
I thought it was about Roberts not thinking to write down the presidential oath before he got on camera and forgot it?
With this bunch, you never know.
I’m not a liberal, quite the opposite, and your low grade attempt at character assasination is exactly what a Dem would do. You should be ashamed.
You have no way of knowing what I have or have not read - so why do you post such wannabe belligerent nonsense.
I have, at length. Try reading.
newsflash: they already are.
We may all know what it means but we all may have different definitions of what it means. Even Freepers can’t agree on what it means. I personally think no one except a fringe even care what it means and the fringe disagree amongst themselves on the rules / definitions.
Thus I hope Cruz runs and will gladly support him.
“wannabe belligerent nonsense.”
That’s been your whole posting history so we know you have not read the law. It’s been just a bunch of ignorant nonsense from you.
You are the one that summed up people saying Cruz is not fit to run as “communication”. That’s BS propaganda to attempt to categorize such attempts at FUD against Cruz as “communication”. Hell, everything is communications.
“You should be ashamed.”
I am never ashamed to support our Constitution, our laws, and Cruz. You, however, haven’t supported any of it. You come here simply to bash Cruz. You liberals run scared of the man. “Seminar Callers”, nothing more.
Ted Cruz was an American citizen *at birth*. THere is no problem. Bob
Vattel doesn’t write our laws. Never did. We rejected the Law of Nations and adopted our own. Vattel can kiss my ass as can anyone attempting to utilize a foreign document to control these united States.
Thank you, I feel the same way - that we should be able to discuss and dissent. I like Cruz, but the hysterical defensiveness about him on FR is troubling to me. It’s how the Dems function.
My position is that our presidential candidate needs to be strong politically and have absolutely no murkyness in his background - it shouldn’t be possible to even have a conversation about his origins, etc because there should be nothing that could provoke a question.
