Reluctant Article V ping. This particular effort is an exercise in futility.

Um, wouldn’t it be up to the Supreme Court to settle the question, if it went that far?

It appears that AZ must have an idiot in their representative ranks.

“I know... We’ll settle this Cruz birth issue once and for all! We’ll just call up a “constitutional convention”. Ya. That’s the ticket!”

Brillant!

YaarrrrgggggHHHH!.... Shut up Howard.

Why not bring it up at the UN Security Council, and the ICC as well. Gotta resolve this once and for all!

Yeah, this is nuts, but as Trump said, you can’t run for office with this hanging over your head and expect it to not be an issue.

This is odd. Kelly is a friend and a frequent Trump CRITIC online. I will find out from her what this is about.

This question has been answered. Since the Constitution does not define it, guess what? Congress can. Congress has:

"The Nationality Act of 1940 outlines which children become 'nationals and citizens of the United States at birth.' In addition to those who are born in the United States or born outside the country to parents who were both citizens - or, interestingly, found in the United States without parents and no proof of birth elsewhere - citizenship goes to babies born to one American parent who has spent a certain number of years here.

That single-parent requirement has been amended several times, but under the law in effect between 1952 and 1986 - Cruz was born in 1970 - someone must have a citizen parent who resided in the United States for at least 10 years, including five after the age of 14, in order to be considered a natural-born citizen. Cruz's mother, Eleanor Darragh, was born in Delaware, lived most of her life in the United States, and gave birth to little Rafael Edward Cruz in her 30s. Q.E.D.

So why all the brouhaha about where Obama was born, given that there's no dispute that his mother, Ann Dunham, was a citizen? Because his mother was 18 when she gave birth to the future president in 1961 and so couldn't have met the 5-year-post-age-14 residency requirement. Had Obama been born a year later, it wouldn't have mattered whether that birth took place in Hawaii, Kenya, Indonesia, or anywhere else. (For those born since 1986, by the way, the single citizen parent must have only resided here for five years, at least two of which must be after the age of 14.)"

--- Yes, Ted Cruz Can be President
