Let's conduct a thought experiment regarding Cruz's NBC status.

The facts:

Cruz was born in Canada of a Cuban (I think) father and an American mother.
He was given dual citizenship at birth - Canadian and American.

For the experiment, we'll change his political party from Republican to Democrat.

Do you still consider him to be a natural-born citizen? Honestly?

Remember that 0bama's situation has no bearing on the Cruz case. Cruz's eligibility should be judged on its own merits.

Barry’s mother was underage, which according to the written law, made her son ineligible, if he was born outside the U.S.

Anybody want to throw in where John McCain was born to American parents. We got the same crap from desperate Democraps. Of course neither Cruz’s or McCain’s parents had disavowed their US citizenship.

It’s time this kind of rhetoric be given all the time it’s worth.

Ted Cruz is a natural born citizen because his mother was a natural born citizen. Unless you know of any other types of citizens, there are two.

1. Natural born citizen.
2. Naturalized citizen.

Since he was a citizen from birth, and therefore was not naturalized, any argument saying he is not a natural born citizen is just plain stupid.

This is a settled issue. I don’t care what obviously liberal-minded Romney and Christie loving Ann Coulter says. She’s dead to me. Frankly she’s a twit.

On another note do you know how many children of US military are born outside the U.S.? Tell me that those who put their lives on the line to support and defend the constitution have children who are second class citizens because of their service.

“Do you still consider him to be a natural-born citizen? Honestly?”

What defines a “natural-born citizen” and where do you
find it. The federalist papers? Blacks Law Dictionary?
Or is it a consensus that changes with the whims of the
political elite?
The Obama is an anti-Constitutional scholar and he is
a citizen. His daddy was Frank Marshall Davis.

____________________________________

it has every bearing..

theres no going back..

Obama’s father was from another country, here on a student visa and deported..and married to another woman..his mother was a single under aged American citizen born in Kansas of American citizens..and American ancestors..

the father of Cruz was married to his mother, an immigrant legally in the country, his mother was an American citizen born in Delaware..of American parents and American ancestors..

Obama has caused a precedence by being president although he was not an NBC..

therefore since the change in the rules has been accepted by the American citizens, this is what we have..

TW why do Cruz objectors insist on claiming that both his parents are foreigners ???

Romney’s father was born in Mexico of parents who never intended to ever return or live in the US again..they hated our decency laws..

meanwhile the parents of Cruz love our country and are loyal patriots..
