No problem. Ted’s mother can become his ‘father’!
Should delight all the liberals!
....until it was repealed in 1795.
What you don't get is that a child born to two citizen parents on the soil is unquestionable.
Any other scenario is.
What do you think the founders had in mind, seriously?
It is a national disgrace that the Republican Party and the American people did not demand a Supreme Court ruling on the eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama.
The same is required for Ted Cruz.
And let the Constitution reign supreme.
P.S. There is an important role for patriot conservative Ted Cruz whichever way the Supremes decide.
What does Orly say?
The first congress clearly defined children born outside the United States to be natural born citizens. The fact that a later congress changed the wording of this law cannot take that away. The fact that the first congress, which was made up of many of the founders, passed a law which said that the children of U.S. citizens born outside the United States are natural born citizens actually is strongly supportive of the fact that Ted Cruz is a natural born citizen.
Would still need to be born with the United States.
Posts like that make me lose respect for you and this site.
Alinsky is your offense now?
Please stop spouting nonsense like this. God defined "natural citizen". Congress defines who will be "like" a "natural citizen."
In the same manner God gives people children, but families are free to adopt others who were not born to them.
The law that stipulates that was repealed meaning it isn’t law anymore. The law that replaced that removed that from the context for a reason.
“God defined “natural citizen”. “
He did?
Oh please, its you Trump supporters that are pulling this birther nonsense. Trump supporters insult and attack all the time and then have the thinnest skin in the world. Honestly I thought this was a conservative site not a fascist one.
I thought we followed the laws as written. Apparently we are no better than DU.
It clearly did not. If it did, the first Congress would have said "Shall Be Natural born citizens", not "Shall be considered as natural born citizens. "
It is the 1795 repeal, along with the original, that gives us the definition. Two citizen parents and born under the jurisdiction of the United States. What are you arguing about?
A law can’t change the constitution or what the original constitutional meaning of the term Natural Born Citizen is. Note that the new law did not include any definition for a natural born citizen - the term has simply been abandoned. So, the only time it has been defined in U.S. law Ted Cruz clearly would have qualified since his mother was U.S. citizen and his father had been a legal U.S. resident.
We need him for our VP. TRUMP/CRUZ 2016!
Partus Sequitur Patrem, dude.
Ted Cruz’s father wasn’t a legal US resident at the time of Ted’s birth and the Naturalization Act of 1795 which is still law stipulates two citizen parents, not a legal resident.
Please provide the exact words in the Constitution that defines nature born citizen.
