Thanks TN,
Like I wrote, my memory gets more fuzzy with the years. I thought it was from Franklin’s autobiography. I’ll need to go back and re-read it with eyes now 50 years later. I wonder what else I missed.
Again, thanks.

Neither is Obama, but you’re not going on about that.
“I researched various sources, read the constitution and I’ve concluded in my own mind that if one parent is a U.S. citizen at the time of the baby’s birth, regardless of where the kid was born, they are a U.S. citizen.”
That is the opinion of a sane mind. However.......
Hell I thought Donald Trump was going to have the Obama birth mystery all proven and cleared up by now.
Ya could look it up.
The law only knows "natural born citizens," who are legally entitled to citizenship from birth, and naturalized citizens, who acquire citizenship through the naturalization process. There is no third category of people who are entitled to citizenship from birth, but are not "natural born" enough to run for President.
In as much as many of us criticized Obama’s questionable citizenship, Cruz has the same issue. Were his parents citizens when he was born? Fair is fair. Otherwise, if we criticize Obama and excuse Cruz, we set a bad practice—playing politics.
> Ted Cruz is a natural born citizen because his mother was a natural born citizen.
That is not the rule specified by law.
“How long would you consider any other of the presently running Republican candidates if they were in the picture?”
Not very long at all however..
How many “presently running Republican candidates” are
billion dollar businessmen who buy politicians on a
regular basis? I meant no insult, it was just my observation.
Cruz IS a Natural Born Citizen.
The only way you get to be a citizen of the USA is to either be Natural Born or go through the Naturalization process.
Cruz DID NOT NEED to go through the naturalization process because he received his citizenship through natural birth from his Mother.
She was 18.
“For what it is worth, I would trust the research of Cruz before I would Coulter.”
For what it is worth? Gold.
Following the logic of some that Cruz is not a natural born citizen because his dad was not a natural born citizen means that Cruz’s children are not natural born citizens, and the same goes for his future grandchildren. That means first or second generation Americans and so on are not natural born citizens. Then Santorum is not natural born citizen as well. This line of reasoning makes no sense.
Her ex boyfriend Maher is playing the left, like Coulter is playing the right.
And every now and then "just like this" they prove it in their faces
to show their hubris.
I wish people would understand this.
Where’s the “Not this sh*t again” guy when you need him?
That’s the final straw. Ann is all about Ann.
The law granting citizenship to Cruz did require a process, that he return to the United States by a date certain and remain there for a period. This requirement was later repealed. A “process” is not a requisite condition of naturalization, dependency upon Acts of Congress is.
"I don't care about the Donald's ancient history! I'm interested in the man he is today!"
had to be 5 years past her 14th birthday spent in the US..
IOW she had to be 19 and Obama’s mother was only 18 when he was born...
“Obama has caused a precedence by being president although he was not an NBC..”
Ok and speaking of that, he has also set a precedence by
using the government against his political opponents. To
date no one has been held accountable. Using Executive
Orders to dictate law. Using regulations to drive industries
he does not like out of business. All with the help of a
republican majority in congress.
