Conservative commentator Ann Coulter, who has been boosting Donald Trump for president, took to Twitter on Wednesday to declare that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is not a natural born citizen.
Ann Coulter @AnnCoulter
Same lawyers who said anchor babies are in the Constitution now tell us being born outside U.S to 1 American parent = natural born citizen.
Ann Coulter @AnnCoulter
NYT: Cruz was born outside the U.S. to 1 American parent: "Under the Constitution this makes him a 'natural born citizen.'â Absolutely false
Coulter joins Trump in questioning whether Cruz can legally be president.
âRepublicans are going to have to ask themselves the question: âDo we want a candidate who could be tied up in court for two years?â Thatâd be a big problem,â Trump told The Washington Post on Tuesday.

Ann Coulter, that noted Constitutional scholar, once again embarrasses herself with her lack of knowledge. She’s a big Christie supporter.
Ann is an idiot who is only conservative when she has a book to sell. She needs to go back to shtooping Bill Maher and worshiping Crispy Creme. Her ship has sailed.
[ At least he wasnât born in Kenya? ]
And he didn’t spend his formative years in some turd world Islamic hell hole (indonesia) at a madrasa with a tranny nanny and a communist Islamic loving mommy either!
That one is hilarious!
Coulter surely does not think that if she had a baby (fat chance) while she was working in Canada that her child would not be born an American citizen?
“Coulter joins Trump in questioning whether Cruz can legally be president.”
Rush has been playing sound indicating Trump does not join Ann.
BOTH of them are wrong. COMPLETELY WRONG. They can make an argument. They can opine as to what they think..but NO ONE can know how those Justices would rule when they have already shown they may not agree on the requirement should it ever be brought before them.
This election is so entertaining. ]
It is good to have fun while driving over and off the cliff.
Some info claims that Ted’s Mom and Dad became Canadian citizens during the 8 years they lived in Canada.
Cruz's change in immigration just shows you that he is a politician just like the rest of the establishment. Cruz sees he is behind in the polls so he feels that he has to go to the right of Trump to garner more support.
This just shows that he would be willing to 'modify' his positions in the general election to garner more support. He's not trustworthy.
Oops.
So what is Trumps change in immigration. An immaculate deception? You fan boi skirt is showing.
So the one remaining question is whether Ted Cruz was a citizen at birth. Thatâs an easy one. The Nationality Act of 1940 outlines which children become ânationals and citizens of the United States at birth.â In addition to those who are born in the United States or born outside the country to parents who were both citizens â or, interestingly, found in the United States without parents and no proof of birth elsewhere â citizenship goes to babies born to one American parent who has spent a certain number of years here.

As you said, that ship sailed with Obama, though not without a fair amount of intensive research and investigation on the matter.
A child born to a parent who is an American citizen is a natural-born citizen.
Cruz is a NBC.
The only way he’s not is if his mother had gained Canadian citizenship and renounced her US citizenship prior to his birth in 1970, which I don’t think happened.
Isn’t it amazing how Trump’s talking points are picked up. Last week a bunch of Freepers were denying Cruz is a Christian.
It’s a nonissue. Answered by the big guns.
How do you know?
Have you seen his birth certificate?
Just vouch for he’s American, that’s all that is required
Mom was a dual citizen of US & Canada. ...game over.

She is saying that both the father and mother need to be American citizen and birth take place under the US Flag.
No flames or legal questions need come my way - I am not a constitutional lawyer and I am just clarifying Coulter's remarks.
Great Find.
Obama and Cruz were both born in Canada to American mothers. The only difference is that Cruz’s mother was old enough to be able to confer citizenship onto her baby.
Obama’s mother was a teen and not old enough. No one cared about things like that because no doubt she was to give her half black “bastard” (we are talking 1961) up for adoption to another family. She changed her mind, though, and showed up with a newborn she had no idea how to care for, back in her hometown Seattle.
Why else would Obama have never been able to get a Social Security number, and had to borrow one? There is no other explanation that makes sense.
Cruz was born an American. From the moment he was born. Obama needed to naturalize. He chose instead to fake that he was a citizen, with fake birth papers. The truth is that he is an appointed fraudulent citizen, having been GIVEN without documentation a US passport when he became a senator. But hey, he’s the leader of the land.
