RNC Committeewoman Claims Rubio and Cruz Both Ineligible for Presidency
mediaite.com ^ | February 15

Posted on 02/15/2016 7:23:05 PM PST by Helicondelta

A Republican National committeewoman from Nevada just proposed that not only is Cruz not eligible to be president, but GOP rival Marco Rubio isn't either.

Cruz's Canadian birthplace has been dragged through the press relentlessly over the last few weeks, but Rubio's birth to immigrant parents hasn't been discussed as much. Enter Diana Orrock, who not only serves the RNC, but is running for the Nevada state assembly.

She tweeted a link to an article by Devvy Kidd on conservative website News With Views. Kidd contends that because Rubio's parents were born elsewhere and weren't naturalized as citizens until he was four years old, he cannot run for the nation's highest office.

Dear Trumpbot - there is no proof of his mother’s naturalization. The orange clown has been asked about this and he has yet to provide documentation.

We want to see his Mother’s Naturalization Certificate.

And that may be exactly what happened.

If the case had any merit, it would have been adjudicated in the 4 years of Obama’s first term. It wasn’t.

Thank you for doing that.
Have you done the same review for Rubio and Cruz?
If so, I have missed it.

Trump’s mama was also born in the foreign lands. He should withdraw to allow REAL murcans who can have all their ancestors trace their ancestry back to the Bering Strait Eskimos.

His mother was naturalized 4 years before his birth.
He is a natural born citizen.

There has been much speculation on the nature of Marco Rubio’s and Ted Cruz’s citizenships. The following link provides a video of an analysis by a strict constructionist constitutional lawyer:

This in no way settles the matter. Those who believe in a “living constitution” can make the document mean anything they want it to mean. They are the ones who need to be voted out of office (nearly all of them), or kicked off the bench (most of them).

She is correct according to Scalia. Oh wait. He’s conveniently dead.

"What are differences between citizen, naturalized citizen, and natural born citizen?"

In each of those cases, if you support Donald Trump, you are bad and wrong and not conservative. You may think you are, but you're just like the people who supported Hitler and Mussolini. And you're stupid. And Evil.

I guess the RNC has settled for Trump then.
