What strikes me in Cruz’s statement about eligibility is that he claims such on only his mother’s citizenship. This is like saying a father has no bearing as to birth status. I don’t believe a father can be taken out of the birth status. Obama has cleverly played the system in this regard as to his eligibility. I believe the Founders as men of the world were aware of possible situations involving parentage and they intended a requirement as to both parents being eligible citizens, not a take your choice of which parent best fits your desires. That is why in cases cited it is parentS not either or.
Maybe you should read the law more. Here, try reading this:
8 U.S.C. § 1401 : US Code - Section 1401: Nationals and citizens of United States at birth
Actually READ the law instead of spouting what you *THINK* it says. Don't be afraid. It is written in plain English. No fancy Latin, no fancy wording, just plain old English that a 6th grader can read.
I just handed you and everyone reading this post the link to the actual law, yet, we'll still get a bunch of morons claiming things not in law as they will not take the time to read it. People who do that are no better than any liberal claiming crap they know nothing about. In my book, that makes them liberals.
