It has always been clear to me that Cruz did not meet the NBC criteria. How Trump figures in is a mystery to me.
According to most who justify Cruz's legitimacy on this regard the logic seems seriously blemished to me.
If Cruz is a NBC of the USA then of course as well he is also a natural born citizen of Canada. Moreover, Cruz is a natural born Cuban as well because after all, his father was a Cuban citizen.
This issue is important and how anyone could be confused over it is perplexing here.
Do people actually contend that an individual could be a natural born citizen of more than one country?
Really?
I think that Conservatives have bigger problems than just living among Liberals if that is the case of their reasoning abilities.
I hope and pray that Cruz is 100% qualified to be president. He’ll be completely prepared to take over when Trump’s terms are finished. I like both of them. Now, I prefer Trump considering the current circumstances. Cruz can learn a ton from Trump in 4 or 8 years and then be a kick-ass President.
Gee anyone who raised these questions about Obama’s eligibility was branded a nut job.
Despite older, no longer relevant definitions (such as the one that includes foreign born individuals that were here prior to the existence of the USA) the test for a NATURALIZED citizen includes not being a citizen prior to taking classes, passing a test and being sworn in. The ONLY other definition is an NBC, in which one is a citizen at birth due to the U.S. citizenship of at least one parent (no longer parent”S”). There is a mechanism in place to settle this issue from state to state where the Party (in this case the Republican Party) of the state CERTIFIES the candidates as qualified to appear on the ballot. For instance, on December 15, 2015 the Republican Party of Virginia CERTIFIED that Ted Cruz (as well as 12 others) were QUALIFIED to appear on the 2016 Republican Presidential Primary ballot. The Party, as well as the State, has an obligation to certify that the person running is eligible to do so.
So, if you have a beef with me, Rush and Levin on this issue please know you also have a beef with 50 states, the Republican Party state organizations for 50 states and the National Republican Party. Of all of those the 101 last mentioned are the most important and have the most legal responsibility to certify eligibility.
