If Obama was based on only his mother’s citizenship then so is Ted. Not saying Obama should have been allowed.

Cruz is not a NBC

[Dilbert San Diego]

Realistically, nobody is going to challenge his right to run for president.

There have been so many threads about this topic in the past. Ultimately you would need a court ruling on what “natural born citizen” means in the context of running for president. I’m just saying, realistically, nobody is going to challenge Cruz in court on this issue.

Barry Goldwater was born in Arizona before it was a state, and still ran for president.

John McCain was born in Panama of American citizen parents.

In 1968, George Romney was a leading candidate for president in the GOP primaries. He was born in Mexico of American citizen parents.

I don’t think anyone ever challenged the right of any of the above to put their names on election ballots and run for president. Accordingly, I would be shocked if anyone would do anything to stop Ted Cruz from running due to his Canadian birth to an American citizen mother.

After Precedent Obama, Ted Cruz is clearly as eligible he was. No one was interested in what Article II sec.1 meant when Obama ran. Whatever it used to mean, it now means as long as one has one citizen parent, one is eleigible.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

That ship has sailed.

If a Kenya-born Moslem can be POTUS, anybody can.

[cotton1706]

Cruz addressed this at the Iowa summit with Sean Hannity. He said he is a citizen of the United States by birth, that is, at the time he was born he was a citizen. And then he said the Constitution requires that the president be a natural born citizen. Case closed.

[Da Coyote]

We’ll debate Cruz right after the libs get serious about Barack Hussein Obama’s complete lack of every record associated with his previous sordid and worthless life.

Talk to me right after that worthless SOP’s *ss is in jail.

[skeeter]

Frankly, after Obama I'm not going to turn myself inside out worrying about whether my guy is complying with every jot & tittle of some newspaper's idea of how the law reads.

In fact, if we have to follow Obama's exact game plan to undo the damage that b*stard has done then so be it.

[publius911]

Cue the Ted Cruz birthers… again [Once more with feeling: "Is he a natural born citizen?"]

More hot air?
Another opportunity to request a user "site ignore" button on Free Republic.

In my private universe, and I am convinced I'm not alone, the issue is settled.

Hussein is a phony, a fake, and not a documented U.S. citizen. Never was; never will be.

His executive order on his first day as president, hiding his entire life history, is all the proof I need.

Although I don't need or seek further proof, when he attempts to grant himself a pardon when leaving office, it should convince even the sub 70 IQ crowd that they swallowed the greatest fraud in the Nation's history hook line and sinker.

[drypowder]

The BIG question for all of the Republican candidates: If elected and given the fact of so much evidence, will you peruse criminal charges against Obama and his regime and resend every thing that Obama has done to include his two Supreme Court appointments while he was in the WH?

[Yosemitest]

"Is he a natural born citizen?"

FIRST, answer the question for whom it REALLY applies, the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF.

It's there for anyone who wants to take the time to find it.

One other thing.
Obama is NOT black !
The ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF is ARAB-KENYAN.

"Genealogical evidence has revealed that the impostering "first black president" Barak Hussein Obama is 6.5% Negro and 48% Arabic, the remainder 45% Caucasian."

The Arab-Kenyan Barack Hussein Obama II, (a.k.a. Barry Soetoro), ( the one guilty of TREASON ! ) has NO legitimate Social Security Number.
His father was NOT an immigrant to the United States.
Barack Obama Sr. was a "Transient Alien" because he did NOT intend on residing in the United States permanently.
Barack Obama Sr. was a dual citizen of Great Britain and Kenya, and NEVER a United States Citizen.

Read British National Archives Show Son Born To Obama Sr. In 1961 In Kenya!

His mother could NOT impart U.S. citizen to her son, Barack Obama II, because she did NOT meet the legal requirements to do so, at the time her son was born IN the Coast Provincial General Hospital, MOMBASA, KENYA at 7:21 pm on August 4, 1961.
Democrats knew this and tried to eliminate the "Natural Born Citizen" requirement at least 8 times BEFORE Obama won his election in 2008.

Obama is NOT a United States Citizen, and is NOT a LEGAL IMMIGRANT.
He has no VISA allowing him into this country.
Barack Hussein Obama II IS ILLEGAL !

[Godebert]

"But there are only two types of citizens under the law: Natural born Americans (from birth), and naturalized Americans, who undergo the legal process of becoming a US citizen."

There are 5 different Citizenship terms used in the United States Constitution. See the first link below.

Note the reference to Natural Law in the first sentence of our Declaration of Independence.

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”.

[Elsiejay]

Citizenship and “natural born” citizenship are not equivalents, but I’ve learned that this point is not worth contending.
Being born on territory of the U.S.A. is a requirement of eligibility to hold the office of President, irrespective of the nationality of one’s mother. My wife, born in the U.S.A., could legally run for and hold the office of President, although her mother never terminated her Norwegian citizenship or tried to become a U.S. citizen.
The prospective candidate’s natural born citizenship is the point; not the citizenship of his/her mother.
That being seemingly terminally incomprehensible to some, I give up.

[PghBaldy]

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.

[arthurus]

Natural born is no longer relevant. Barack Hussein has terminated that concept. For real. I am not being sardonic.

[Menehune56]

Obama precedent baby!

[Milton Miteybad]

If Obama was constitutionally eligible...then just about anybody is, including somebody born and residing in Seoul, South Korea who once caught a flight in San Francisco on their one and only visit to the U.S. in 1983.

Seriously...that Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 presidential eligibility thing...it really doesn't mean much anymore.

[Wolfie]

You open the crazy door, people tend to walk through it.

Natural born citizen with a legal SS number.
