That will likely occur...again.
I believe his mother was only living in Canada because she was working at the US Embassy there. She was born in America. So, although Ted was born in Canada, his mother was still a US Citizen .. which automatically gave him citizenship.
Ted Cruz is a “natural born” citizen of America.
I hope we’re not going to have a major fight over this issue here on FR.
That will likely occur...again.
Amen.
I’m over it and fully support Ted.
Canada is in America. It’s just not part of the United States.
The precedent has been set that concern trolls who spam threads with stupid arguments on this issue will be cast into outer darkness.
Those who wish to waste bandwidth promoting such idiocy will not be tolerated.
Ted Cruz is eligible… and imminently qualified.
Unlike most of the other RINO's that are being bandied about for consideration, Cruz loves this Country more than he loves himself.
The trolls have been warned. Free Republic is Cruz Country.
I’m for a unification behind a winning candidate. 2016 should be the year the grassroots get behind a strong candidate without splitting their votes 3 or 4 ways so the GOPe candidate wins the nomination.
The rules of the Republican primaries and caucuses will be even more stacked in the GOPe’s favor in 2016.
Cruz would fit the bill as the unity winning candidate for 2016.
“his mother was only living in Canada because she was working at the US Embassy there. “
The us embassy is also us soil too.....
So there is that too.
Well, there are some real purists (wrongly in my opinion) on FR when it comes to being born on the actual soil. They don’t even usually allow for military bases, embassies, etc.
Even if a couple of American citizens are on vacation in London and the woman prematurely gives birth...the child can’t be president they argue.
Ridiculous and wrong constitutionally if you ask me. The key provision is “under the jurisdiction thereof”.
