Thank you for saying that. I agree. Watering down the constitutional requirements for eligibility is a very bad idea, we have already experienced the Obama disaster, why do we want to ever set ourselves up for another? It is time to re-confirm constitutional eligibility. No one, ever again, occupies the White House who does not meet those requirements — born on American soil, 2 citizen parents, age 35, 14 years in this country. And we need legislation requiring that each candidate most provide documentation that proves he/she meets those requirements. I also think that all presidential candidates should be required to obtain security clearances (which, had that been a requirement, 20 years ago, would have spared us the Clinton presidency, and there would be no Hillary now.)
Cruz does not need watered down requirements for eligibility. He has it.
Get over it.
HEAR,HEAR!!!!!
I start this by saying I don’t care that Trump is bringing this up. Or the prince of GOPe is acting like an idiot. It is something that Cruz will have to deal with sooner or later. Trump wants to win. If Cruz wants to win he needs to combat this whether anyone thinks it is fair or not.
However, this is a stupid argument conservatives are fighting over. The Constitution has been bent, broken, stretched, twisted in knots, and abused on countless issues. Take one guess on who successfully defended it?
Now all of sudden we get our panties in a bunch because there is a slim possibility that Cruz is not a Natural Born Citizen? <= Whatever that means.
Cruz is more American than any Democrat that ran for office in the last 100 years. He is more American than anyone that depended on the government to feed and house them. He is more American than millions of Americans that stand on the sidelines and bi%!t, moan and complain. More American than those who don’t accomplish anything worth a spit for the country.
He argued and won nine conservative cases before the supreme court. All of these made a difference, State Rights, Death Penalty, Redistricting, etc... It is not like he is not a full blown citizen. He deserves the right to be President more than me and the vast majority of Americans. Anyone that says different is not being honest.
