I don't know if he'll attempt to pardon himself; that seems like an overt admission of guilt — more likely he'd bank on being able to take down essentially all the members of congress during his tenure as president, and possibly nominate himself for USSC position.
I thought you have to be “BORN” within the borders of the United States to be Prez..
It does not matter, the Traitor Party already has their Judges lined up waiting to rule against him no matter what the actual law is....
There are still a few Americans left that are willing to defend the Constitution.
Says you. However, Congress and SCOTUS say otherwise.
Both parties stood by as Obama was illegally installed in office.
Or their interpretation of it anyway.
Maybe. [/bitter sarcasm]
It really bugs me that so many are not willing to do a complete about face on the issue now that our guy
has a shot, but willing to insult/deride/humiliate those who refuse to alter their stance.
The Supreme Court of the United States has never applied the term natural born citizen to any other category than those born in the country of parents who are citizens thereof.
*not only

What does “PARENTS” mean? One parent or BOTH?
If the latter, then Obama should not have been eligible, but that’s all water under the bridge now.
Sorry, that is incorrect.
“natural born” means that at the time of birth, the person is a citizen and does not need to be naturalized. Congress has the SOLE and EXCLUSIVE authority as an enumerated power in the Constitution to make the rules of naturalization. That means that Congress set the rules for who is and is not a citizen at birth. According to the rules set forth by Congress, Cruz is a natural born citizen.
No he wasn't.
But neither was George Washington.
There was no "here" here at the time.
There was only ONE definition of 'natural born Citizen' at the time the Founders wrote the Constitution.
There is something exceedingly odd that so many people with questions (rightly or wrongly) about their NBC status decide to run for President. It is not a good thing for this country.
As wrong as 9YearLurker’s post was, why did you cut off this portion of his post?
“On the other hand, every other prospective serious candidate in the GOP is worse than Ted on the issue.”
Natural born is no longer relevant. Barack Hussein has terminated that concept. For real. I am not being sardonic.
George Romney was born in Mexico and John McCain was born in Panama.
Obama precedent baby!
Right, but his mother is a citizen, which makes him a citizen at birth.
