I’m nominally a Trumpster, but this is going nowhere, is getting old, and makes us look stupid.
If the courts wouldn’t touch this issue with respect to Obama, they won’t touch it with respect to Cruz. Well, unless it can be used to help get Hillary in office. All this Idiocy does is help that effort!
Also, it’s just plain wrong. According to this argument, a direct ancestor of George Washington and John Hancock would not be a “natural born citizen” if he or she was born (for example prematurely) while the parents were on vacation in Europe. Ridiculous.
Please just stop.
PS There are actual statutes passed within Congress’ legitimate Consititional powers that say Cruz is natural born. The courts regularly uphold statutes that aren’t passed within those powers, so they aren’t about to touch these.
“Andrew Jackson was born on March 15, 1767, near Lancaster, South Carolina. His parents, Andrew and Elizabeth, along with his two older brothers, Hugh and Robert, emigrated from Ireland two years earlier.”

I remember well that this was the same argument used right here on FreeRepublic. concerning the NBC status on Obama.
Thinking the courts won't touch this is insane, of course they will if it puts their choice in the presidency.
Congress only has the power to naturalize (Article 1, Sec.8, Clause 4). You can't create a natural born Citizen with any statute or law made by man.
