Exactly. Saint Ted doesn’t get a super-duper special out from being vetted, just because they like him.
If he can’t stand the heat, then he needs to get out of the kitchen.
I admit I had had my doubts as well as to Ted's eligibility -- my father was born in Scotland, and growing up he always reminded us that he could never be President.
Yash and GTH and all the rest of you stretch-til-you-snap rationalizers desperate to denigrate Cruz, here's how it is:
My dad was born to life-long citizens of Scotland IN Scotland. He came here as a toddler and, along with his parents and siblings, became a citizen. From earliest childhood, he was "American" in all respects and a patriot. But rightly, he could not be president.
If his mom or dad was an American citizen living in Scotland temporarily, he would have been born with a natural right to American citizenship, certainly when that temporarily removed parent returned to America permanently. That is, born to a parent who was born, raised, and American in all respects and only temporarily out-of-country.
Therefore, one should give the same benefit of doubt to Obama's mother, because she was the same in the spirit of it, if not the legally required years (she was too young for Obama to have qualified for NBC status, it seems to me, if he was born in Kenya). The true problem with Obama is that he was raised outside of America and for sure outside of "mainstream" America for much of his life. He is foreign to America.
That is a major difference between Obama and Cruz setting aside the numerical requirements, and it touches the very SPIRIT of the requirement.
Ted Cruz is a right, excellent, and legitimate candidate for President. Stop making excuses.
