I’m a huge Trump supporter, but this is a non-issue. I know Trump was responding to a reporter’s question, but he needs to let this thing go.
In before the Twister score card!
Wait. What?
Lol!
He probably won’t because he sees some political advantage with carrying on this line of attack.

I hope he doesn’t...I think it’s a big mistake. Rush was just talking about this very thing.
Last I looked, the author isn’t on the Supreme Court.
Justice Scalia: “Well, maybe. I’m just referring to the meaning of natural born within the Constitution. I don’t think you’re disagreeing. It requires jus soli, doesn’t it? “
In before Obiwoncruzobi....oh, never mind.
you must be crazy if you think the guy born in canada isn’t a natural born american

by his own definition, TCruz is a ‘natural born citizen’ of:
- Canada
- the US
- Cuba
- the UK
last i checked, you cannot be a natural born citizen from more then one country.
Do you understand what political warfare is? If Cruz wants to be POTUS, he’s got to battle for it. It ain’t gonna be handed to him on a silver platter.

I understand what you’re saying.
The issue has never been litigated. Are the children of illegal aliens born in the US eligible to be President? Are the children of tourists born in the US eligible to be President? Are the children of green card holders who elect not to be citizens eligible for the Presidency?
Ted Cruz was a Canadian citizen at birth. He would be the first President ever born outside this country. Only Chester A. Arthur and Obama had only on US citizen parent. Everyone else had two.
We need to resolve this issue once and for all. Cruz will probably be ruled eligible, but we really don't know.
His Mom was/is a U.S. Citizen.
I was just listening to Rush. I never got from Trump that he was questioning whether Cruz was an American citizen. It was whether he was a natural born citizen, according to the Constitution.
“We need to resolve this issue once and for all. Cruz will probably be ruled eligible, but we really don’t know. “
For sure. After 8 years of this with Obama.
What bothers me is Cruz didn’t bother to get rid of his Canadian citizenship...senators should NOT have dual citizenship...all of freeperdom used to agree on that. He maintains he didn’t know he was a Canadian citizen until 2014.....and he’s a lawyer???
Just a question to hear what a lawyer has to say during oral arguments. Nothing more.
You are a Jew, if your mother is a Jew.
Why? He wants to win. Sowing seeds of doubt is a great strategy.
And until an actual court rules on this (because the Democrats will certainly take it there) all these articles are are people attaching a conclusion to an opinion for propaganda purposes on either side.
What is salient here is...what do the Canadian Articles of Confederation say about citizenship? Is there an “anchor-baby” type clause?
