The best way to ensure that this doesn't happen is to scrupulously guard the natural born citizenship of those we elect to this highest office in the Republic. We've already seen the damage that a president with foreign ties and dubious loyalties to the United States can wreak, even should he be a natural born citizen. All the more reason to increase our vigilance to reassert this necessary and wise requirement and to raise it back to its former sanctity in our governing system.

 

BULL CHEESE.

Purists can strictly abide by the Constitution if they like and kick Cruz and Rubio to the door.

If they like.

And as they do - the OPEN the door to Hillary or Sanders.

So tell me again how the NBC requirement is that important?

The Constitution didn’t provide a specific definition.

Congress is authorized by the Constitution to determine immigration and citizenship requirements. Using the applicable statute at the time of Cruz’s birth he is a NBC.

It is a convenient diversion when a candidate is unable to debate the policies and principles with a political opponent.

Concur...

The day after Hillary takes office, these guys will be content to say: Well at least she is a NBC...unlike Cruz...

The intent of the NBC clause was about loyalty to this country...

Anybody who thinks Cruz or Rubio has a problem with that attribute are simply insane...

So essentially, you don’t care about the Constitution if it impedes your guy from winning some election.

Tells us more about you than it does the article.

Sadly, Cruz seems to have decided to go full Obama becoming a constitutional scholar who either doesn’t know or doesn’t care about the Constitution or the original intent of its founders. That type of duplicitous behavior has made me question Cruz and his principles.

Living in Florida, I already knew Rubio was a two faced lying traitor. I had hoped much better from Ted Cruz, but those two seem to have so much in common.

A conservative needs to be willing to conserve the precepts of this nation or they are no different from the libs trying to destroy it. The Constitution is not a living document with its meaning to be twisted depending upon the desires and vagaries of time. The founders gave us a method to change what we don’t like in the Constitution. Those who seek to change the Natural Born requirement know full well they would not succeed if they were honest about why they want the change and had to abide by the Constitution to do it. It is just unfortunate that the republican party didn’t see fit to make certain the people who are seeking the presidential nomination from their party were actually qualified under the Constitution as originally intended. NWO globalization strikes again.
