This video explains how both Cruz and Rubio are not qualified to run for President of the United States. They are set up Canidates to later be disqulified.

Actually, this diversion is so far down on my GAS list it isn’t funny. All that went out with the Kenyan Muslim.
I am voting for Trump early on Monday (primary) but will be glad to cast a vote for Cruz in the general if that’s how it works out.
No, the game is not over. Cruz is an honest man. He has too many people worried sick that he might get elected which is why all of this is suddenly put on the main burner.
He believes he is qualified, so do his donors.
I have faith.
We should just go ahead and crown trump Supreme Leader then. You
So’s Trump.
And Hillary?
Don’t get me started.
Sanders isn’t eligible either.
No one is, really.
Honest? Lost me right there.
That video is filled with about 8 major errors and facts of law.
In the past 100 years there have been 18 Presidents. Other than Reagan, who was the perfect conservative President in conservatives opinion?
Some would add Coolidge.
Okay, Reagan and Coolidge. Two out of 18 Presidents in 100 years. 10% of the Presidents in the last 100 years, roughly. That means conservatives are going to be disappointed by 90% of the Presidents elected.
So Cruz has probably a 10% chance of becoming president.
Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama should be proof enough of the wisdom of the founders when they tried to prevent him from being President by requiring someone who could only be a US citizen and nothing else.
Born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because there is no other possibility.
One cannot be anything else and also be a natural born citizen.
Obama told us he was born a British Subject.
Who believes Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Jay, Monroe, Madison, etc. would have found him to be a natural born citizen?
The Naturalization Act of 1790 expanded the class of citizens at birth to include children born abroad of citizen mothers as long as the father had at least been resident in the United States at some point. But Congress eliminated that differential treatment of citizen mothers and fathers before any of the potential candidates in the current presidential election were born. Thus, in the relevant time period, and subject to certain residency requirements, children born abroad of a citizen parent were citizens from the moment of birth, and thus are "natural born Citizens."
As recounted by Justice Joseph Story in his famous Commentaries on the Constitution, the purpose of the natural born Citizen clause was thus to "cut off all chances for ambitious foreigners, who might otherwise be intriguing for the office; and interpose a barrier against those corrupt interferences of foreign governments in executive elections." The Framers did not fear such machinations from those who were U.S. citizens from birth just because of the happenstance of a foreign birthplace. Indeed, John Jay's own children were born abroad while he served on diplomatic assignments, and it would be absurd to conclude that Jay proposed to exclude his own children, as foreigners of dubious loyalty, from presidential eligibility
While the field of candidates for the next presidential election is still taking shape, at least one potential candidate, Senator Ted Cruz, was born in a Canadian hospital to a U.S. citizen mother. Despite the happenstance of a birth across the border, there is no question that Senator Cruz has been a citizen from birth and is thus a "natural born Citizen" within the meaning of the Constitution. Indeed, because his father had also been resident in the United States, Senator Cruz would have been a "natural born Citizen" even under the Naturalization Act of 1790.
Came here to pretty much say the same thing.
It’s on YouTube, so it must be true.
He looks like he’s snarling.
I hear Obama is going to nominate you for SCOTUS because of your expertise in the Constitution
LoL
LoL
Cruz had dual citizenship with Canada and the USA.
How does that play into the mix? Any ideas?
