Poor George Washington. His mother wasn’t a US citizen when he was born.

Yeah, but he got grandfathered in per the citizenship clause, as did the other seven of the first presidents.

Read the constitution: all the founding fathers, and all those who were citizens at the time of the constitution, are automatically grandfathered in as "natural born citizens." That clause ceases for anyone born thereafter.

Thats a logical KO in the first round. In the first ten seconds, even.

But GPH doesn't deal in logic, unfortunately.

You know d@mn well the Constitution made Washington and all the founders specifically eligible even though they did not meet the NBC requirement that they assigned to the office of President. You and that idiot Pat Grey trying to make hay of the fact several Presidents were not NBC when the original Constitution absolutely granted them an exception to the NBC requirement as stated in the Constitution.

If you want to know how much all the Anti Trump cr@p hurts Cruz, then look to the Glenn Beck show.
