Not to worry. As Cruz’ numbers collapse more, the whole birther issue will disappear, but he is going nowhere by loosely constructing the Constitution on his own citizenship. Cruz is not the authority on what is actually an open constitutional question.
This is why his two constitutional law scholars say Cruz is a hypocrite. Cruz has always argued for strict originalist interpretation of the Constitution. This means it would not matter what Congress said naturalization means, but according to the Founders in the early 1800’s, what it means.
Now, Cruz, on his own naturalization, he is quite *liberally* interpreting the Constitution to serve his own interests, on what according to Lawrence Tribe and Alan Dershowitz is an OPEN CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION, and even the Supreme Court will be divided on the question.
Cruz has peaked. Brace yourself.
You and Trump lose all credibility when you quote Al Gore’s lawyer on the issue.
The Constitution does not define the meaning of the phrase, but the meaning is clear. It has absolutely nothing to do with geography and everything to do with birth. Are you a citizen naturally at birth without needing to immigrate here or not? Cruz was.
Even if Cruz loses this primary, he will get another chance in 4 years after Trump loses this election, as the polls have nearly always shown Trump would against Hillary or Sanders. If people want to hand the election to Hillary and get Cruz later instead of now, that’s their foolish choice.
