Your Cruz birtherism is right there in your posting history.
Own it.

“Your Cruz birtherism is right there in your posting history.

At your service, again.

I never said Cruz was not a citizen; the Constitution draws a distinction between being a citizen and natural born citizen. The Constitution was adopted in 1789. The ones who wrote the Constitution drew up the Naturalization Act of 1790, which defines what a NATURAL BORN citizen is, natural born citizen being a requirement for the presidency of the United States.

from Wikipedia:

The Act also establishes the United States citizenship of certain children of citizens, born abroad, without the need for naturalization: “the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond Sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born Citizens: provided, That the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in
the United States”.

***********

Accordingly, a Natural born citizen is: children born of citizens of the United States (no matter where born) which is what many of us were taught in high school, when American history was taught. American history is no longer taught; Common Core decrees it to be named United States history, so the identity “American” can be phased out over the next 10 - 12 years.

When I say something about Cruz, you seem to want to, without refuting what I say, throw this up to me, as if I would be embarrassed to “own” up to it. Insulting, “Look everyone, he is one of those “birthers”. When I first started reading this site, EVERYONE was a “birther”. Things do change fast. This is my officially owning up to it, again. And the next time you mention it, I will do so again. Wouldn’t you own up that I can, in fact, have a basis for what I say?
