Weighing on the controversy over whether Canadian-born Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz is eligible to be president, his fellow senator Rand Paul said Sunday that it would be "extraordinary" to have a president born outside of the U.S.
"He would be the first president not born in the United States. And so that alone would be extraordinary. And so people have to decide for their own minds whether it makes a difference where someone is born," he said on CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday.
...
Paul predicted Sunday that Democrats would challenge Cruz's eligibility and that it would ultimately have to be decided by the Supreme Court.
"It's hasn't been decided," he said.
...
he predicted he will do well on caucus day, pointing to the fact that his campaign just announced 1,000 precinct chairs for the caucus.
"We think we may well be the most organized campaign in Iowa. And that's somewhat unheralded if you watch the polls," Paul said. "But really a caucus is about turning your people out. It's calling them, getting them out."

well if Cruz were elected President it would be extraordinary in that he would be the first conservative President since Ronald Reagan
Did Yertl write his speech or Aqua Buddha?
Why Democrats have the guts to challenge Cruz but no Republicans are willing to challenge Obama birth certificate and take it to court
I wonder if the children of Queen Noor of Jordon would be considered natural born citizens and able to run for President?
They didn’t care about Obama....
Because the pubbies are either gutless, or on his side, maybe both.
Yes they can as Cruz can.
How wonderful that will be !!
race
are we a nation of laws or men?
Obviously, of course.
This is stupid. We know the democrats are just that vicious & destructive (oh wait. . .) It’s crazy not to nip this in the bud, since it is so easy to do (unless it isn’t).
I’ve come to the conclusion Cruz is just a drama queen. (Liberace photoshop here. sorry I couldn’t resist)
It is extraordinary that Barry Obama was given eligibility. According to the Founders at the Constitutional Convention, Barry fails the strict definition of a natural born citizen. The strict definition intended by the Founders of “natural born citizen” in the historical record was provided by one of the Founders: David Ramsay. Historian Ramsey defines it as meaning a person born in the country to citizen parents. No testimony from any other Founder or delegate of the Constitutional Convention exists that claims any other definition. Congress never legislated the definition of “natural born citizen,” and no United States statute currently defines the term or even mentions it. The intended meaning stays with the Constitutional Convention of 1776 that is used in Ramsay’s 1789 essay, “A Dissertation on the Manners of Acquiring the Character and Privileges of a Citizen,†as its authoritative guide to what is a natural born citizen.
What about the Vietnamese children with American soldier fathers?
And next President may come gulf country.
I got it, so Prince So-and So of Jordon comes to America, the place of his mother’s birth and sit around for 14 years or so playing Baccarat and hanging out in Men’s clubs and at the magic age of say 43, decides to run for President voila, elected as a democrat cause, he’s a natural born citizen and all that stuff...
Thats for clearing it all up for this poor citizen (natural born of two natural born parents) /sarc
They are like Cruz, can be President one day. They have to denounce Nam citizenship, walla they can run for President.
Pretty much.
Thanks for clearing it up for me, now its time to go hit the Crus threads, aha!
Crus=Cruz....whatta schmuck mu fingers are, what?
Noor of Jordan’s son can be King of Jordan and Daughter President of USA at the same time.
First Muslim Female President of USA.
