This is one reason why I do not like the idea of pushing Cruz as President; it solidifies the precedent.
Which is interesting, because I suspect a good many of those claiming Obama was not NBC would back off the same complaint against Cruz.
Which is exactly the reason I will not — the Constitution's restrictions must apply when they are inconvenient to me and my preferences/convenience, otherwise it has no restrictive power at all as it would only constrain me where I agree with it.
Well, good for you!
While I don’t agree with your opinion on the issue (I think NBC means citizen at birth as opposed to naturalized) I greatly respect that you would apply it against a candidate you like as well as one you don’t like.
The only problem with my theory is that it appears Congress has changed the definition of who is a citizen at birth several times. Which conflicts badly with a constitutional definition of NBC.
I wish somebody could get the Supremes to define the term and we could drop the issue. :)
