Ah,yes,the tried and true “national primary” argument. OK, where do you think the state by state primary voters come from?

[South40]

(Except Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of course.)

Like minds think alike.

[Walt Griffith]

The founders clearly deifned “natural born citizen” in 1790 in their naturalization law that was required by the Constitution that was apporved in 1789.

United States Congress, “An act to establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization” (March 26, 1790).

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That any Alien being a free white person, who shall have resided within the limits and under the jurisdiction of the United States for the term of two years, may be admitted to become a citizen thereof on application to any common law Court of record in any one of the States wherein he shall have resided for the term of one year at least, and making proof to the satisfaction of such Court that he is a person of good character, and taking the oath or affirmation prescribed by law to support the Constitution of the United States, which Oath or Affirmation such Court shall administer, and the Clerk of such Court shall record such Application, and the proceedings thereon; and thereupon such person shall be considered as a Citizen of the United States. And the children of such person so naturalized, dwelling within the United States, being under the age of twenty one years at the time of such naturalization, shall also be considered as citizens of the United States.

And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond Sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born Citizens:

Provided, that the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States: Provided also, that no person heretofore proscribed by any States, shall be admitted a citizen as aforesaid, except by an Act of the Legislature of the State in which such person was proscribed.

-- 1) The eligibility question ... It's Cruz's reaction to it that has kept it going in the news. --

I think his reaction has been pretty low key. He asserts it's settled. The NWO press minions and celebrity lawyers are working overtime to publish psyops on the issue. As far as the public knows, "it's settled law," in Cruz's favor.

What keeps it going is the BC is from Canada.

Cruz will bluff through this, I'm pretty sure of that. If he gets the nomination, he's in.

We are way past Orwell's 1984 here.

The loan was made against his own assets in his investment account. This was a loan that anyone with investment accounts could get and required no loan officer to sign off on it. Your suggestion that this was a payoff simply shows that you have no idea what a margin loan is.

[almcbean]

I’m a Cruz guy all the way but I do think the NY line was unwise. Besides, states don’t have values, people do.

[skeeter]

Now Ben Shapiro is evil.

Surreal.

[exit82]

I find it odd that Cruz did not use his real name on the official form.

[patlin]

If Cruz supported the original intent of the Constitution, Ted would have never entered the race. All citizens are American. however, not all Americans are ‘natural’ born citizens because it takes 2 US citizen parents for a child to be natural born. Natural born means not being a citizen of another country at birth. From birth, your allegiance has been to the US and ONLY the US.

And this one is my favorite that contains several recent Law Review articles from the top US Law schools concluding that it takes 2 citizen parents to be a natural born citizen at birth, regardless of where you were born. https://constitutionallyspeaking.wordpress.com/2011/04/06/natural-birthright-citizenship-birthright-of-blood-according-to-english-common-law/

(9 Ops. ATT’Y GEN. 3.56 (1859))

“The question then arises, what rights do our laws confer upon a foreigner by granting him citizenship? I answer, all the rights, privileges and immunities which belong to a native-born citizen, in their full extent with the single qualification that under the constitution, “no person except a natural born citizen is eligible to the office of President…”

“Here none but a native can be President…A native and a naturalized American may therefore go forth with equal security over every sea and through every land under Heaven…They are both of them American citizens, and their exclusive allegiance is due to the Government of the United States. One of them never did owe fealty elsewhere, and the other, at the time of his naturalization…threw off, renounced and abjured forever all allegiance to every foreign prince, potentate, State and sovereignty whatever, and especially to that sovereign whose subject he had previously been.”

[Uncle Sham]

Hey Walt, why are you quoting from an Act that was REPEALED five years later in 1795? You are aware that James Madison and George Washington had the language changed from natural born citizen to simply citizen aren't you? Since when does a repealed law take precedent over the law which replaced it?

[Walt Griffith]

It is the only place that “natural born Citizen” is defined.

This is the only place anyone can go today to get the definition, it is found nowhere else in our history.

[Uncle Sham]

It was defined in 1795 as well. In 1795, we are shown that the 1790 definition no longer applies. We were shown that someone born outside of the jurisdiction of the United States was NOT a natural born citizen.
