If Trump does file suit saying that Cruz is ineligible because he was born outside the US, Cruz could use as one of his arguments the fact that the HI state registrar would not verify the birth facts on Obamaâs HI BC, even though statute says he MUST if the submitted facts match what is claimed on a LEGALLY VALID birth certificate. Hmmm. [head-scratch] [ponder] Hmmmmm.
OK, I give up. What do you suppose the reply is when the Court looks dumbfounded on hearing this argument and asks the Cruz legal team "How is Dr. Onaka's verification conceivably relevant to the Constitutional claims that birth outside the U.S. renders Sen. Cruz ineligible?"
I'm sure you have a theory that will prove most entertaining.

Yeah right. Noooooooooo one would have ever thought about Cruz’s NBC status if Trump had not opened his mouth. This never would have come up. Suuuuuure. This proves Trump is a Democrat plant, and is working for Hillary.

I believe that every candidate for president should be vetted in the very beginning. Look at the mess we find ourselves in by waiting.

Well, Trump had no problem from the beginning, and actually said he had checked it out and he was perfectly legal to be president.

But nary a word about the Kenyan and his fraudulent B.C.

Didnt Trump recently get some information from high powered legal types, new food for thought, as to facts hmmmmm
Isnt Cruz’s problem not just where he was born, but the fact his mother was something more than born in the USA. Being as his mother was actively voting in Canada ? etcetera

Under this view, Senator McCain was a citizen at birth. In 1937, to remove any doubt as to persons in Senator McCain's circumstances in the Canal Zone, Congress enacted 8 U.S.C. Sec. 1403(a), which declared that persons in Senator McCain's circumstances are citizens by virtue of their birth, thereby retroactively rendering Senator McCain a natural born citizen, if he was not one already.Here is the faulty reasoning in that ruling...
Constitution of the United States Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4.
To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization...
To claim 8 U.S.C. Sec. 1403(a) grants the status of natural born citizen upon anyone is an outright lie due to the fact that Congress can only pass laws governing naturalization. Congress doesn't have the ability to "render" anyone into a natural born citizens, they can only make a foreigner/alien into a US citizen.
If people can't understand something as simple as that then I really feel sorry for our nation and ts future.

This is because under the law only one parent has to be a citizen to confer natural citizenship on their offspring.Which law in particular are you talking about? USC 8?

The law is there for you to read. Look it up yourself. Cruz is a nbc.
To say otherwise is leftwing silliness.

Really? You would expect that outcome from the Supreme Court?
Not a chance.

Cruz can argue that Obama being allowed to be POTUS in spite of legal confirmation that he has no legally-valid US birth certificate sets a precedent for a foreign-born person to be POTUS.
