Another form of evidence is the concerted, concentrated effort to entice conservative republicans to elect someone who is not a natural born citizen (born in country to citizen parents).

With Rubio, Jindal, Halley or especially(!) Cruz, in the race for the CONSERVATIVE vote, the issue of obama's citizenship finally goes away since EVERYONE in GuvCo has now become equally guilty.

At this point, only forgery is left on the table.

The NBC requirement for Constitutional eligibility has been now been terminally watered down by CONSERVATIVE acquiescence to become meaningless and is no longer a serious requirement.

After this week's Supremely Tortured Court rulings, I'd say the coup is all but complete except for the parts about martial law and purging the population.

You are wrong. If you are naturally born a citizen of the USA, you are a natural born citizen. It’s a simple question. Were you a citizen of the USA at birth? It’s so easy and so clear to answer this question.

Cruz? Yes. Born to a citizen. McCain? Yes. Born to a citizen. It doesn’t matter where. I had a son in Europe. Went straight to the Embassy, showed my pass and his BC, and boom, he had an American passport. Schwarzenegger? No. Born in Austria to Austrian parents. Will never be a NBC of America. He’s a naturalized citizen.

Obama? Born in Canada like Cruz, but obama’s mother hadn’t lived long enough after the age of 15 to confer citizenship to her son. He was NOT a citizen and would have needed to be nationalized. He thus would never ever be a NBC. His first passport was an INdonesian one. Thus he went to college as a foreign national, and Indonesia probably paid for his undergrad education. *

The only tricky people are the ones whose parents are illegally here. I believe we need to amend the constitution to discontinue the citizenship rights of people born here to illegals (or birth tourists). But I don’t think that will happen. Best hope is to control the border and stop illegal immigration.

* this is one of the most upsetting things to me about Obama. He, as a young adult, had to check NO to the question “Are you an American Citizen?” On all those application documents. AND SOMEHOW HE BECAME OUR PRESIDENT?????????

He has no American pride... for a good reason.

With Ted Cruz, you've got the WRONG Candidate for your theory.

FACT:

according to the law at that time

What are the rules for people born between December 23, 1952 and November 13, 1986? The 14th Amendment IS a part of the U.S. Constitution and states in SECTION 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article. So, under that power to legislate, Congress legislated and the President signed into law: When ONE parent was a US citizen and the other a foreign national,the US citizen parent must have resided in the US for a total of 10 years prior to the birth of the child,with five of the years after the age of 14. ... While there were initially rules regarding what the child must do to retain citizenship,amendments since 1952 HAVE ELIMINATED THESE REQUIREMENTS. When Ted Cruz was born, his parents were "IN WEDLOCK". They married, moved to Calgary, Alberta, and in late 1970 had their first and only child, Rafael Edward Cruz. Cruz was born on December 22, 1970 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada where his parents, Eleanor Elizabeth Darragh Wilson and Rafael Bienvenido Cruz. Cruz's mother was born and raised in Wilmington, Delaware, in a family of three quarters Irish and one quarter Italian descent. Eleanor Darragh, mother of Ted Cruz, was raised in Delaware, graduated from a Catholic High School (1952) in the U.S., as well as Rice University (1956),so clearly she meets the residency requirements. Source In 1957, Rafael Bienvenido Cruz (Ted Cruz's father) decided to get out of Cuba by applying to the University of Texas. Upon being admitted, he adds, he got a four-year student visa at the U.S. Consulate in Havana. "Since he liked to eat seven days a week, he worked seven days a week, and he paid his way through the University of Texas," Ted Cruz says of his father, "and then ended up getting a job and eventually going on to start a small business and to work towards the American dream." Only he did that in Canada, where Ted was born. His father went there after having earlier obtained political asylum in the U.S. when his student visa ran out. He then got a green card, he says, and married Ted's mother, an American citizen. The two of them moved to Canada to work in the oil industry. "I worked in Canada for eight years," Rafael Cruz says. "And while I was in Canada, I became a Canadian citizen." The elder Cruz says he renounced his Canadian citizenship when he finally became a U.S. citizen in 2005 —48 years after leaving Cuba. Why did he take so long to do it?"I don't know. I guess laziness, or — I don't know," he says.

for Ted Cruz to be a "Natural Born Citizen"

“Senator Cruz became a U.S. citizen at birth, and he never had to go through a naturalization process after birth to become a U.S. citizen,” said spokeswoman Catherine Frazier. ... The U.S. Constitution allows only a “natural born” American citizen to serve as president. Most legal scholars who have studied the question agree that includes an American born overseas to an American parent, such as Cruz.
