Judge: Ted Cruz eligible to be on N.J. primary ballot

Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas meets the criteria to be considered a “natural born citizen” and can run in New Jersey’s Republican presidential primary on June 7, an administrative law judge ruled Tuesday.

Judge Jeff Masin’s decision will now go to Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, who also serves as New Jersey’s secretary of state, for consideration. She can choose to accept it in full or in part, or reject it.

Masin heard arguments Monday on two challenges to Cruz’s eligibility to run for president. In both cases, the challengers argued that, because Cruz was born in Canada, he is not a natural born citizen, one of three constitutional requirements for the presidency.

Cruz, 45, was born in Calgary, Alberta. His mother, a U.S. citizen, was born in Delaware. His father was born in Cuba. Cruz has said that a child of a U.S. citizen is automatically granted citizenship at birth and is therefore “natural born.”

He still has that “Made in Canada” label under his hairline.

And it won’t matter who affirms his eligibility, Democrats WILL be running ads about it.

Boy, that’s going to change some minds. Why not e-mail that to the administrative law judge?

They will also be running ads about Trump donating $100,000 to the Clinton Foundation, contributing to Hillary’s Senate campaigns plus inviting the Clintons to his third wedding.
That’s just politics as usual.

I don’t plan on voting for Trump or Cruz, but the Obama effect is now in place. This country is screwed because of the lies Hussein told.

So, that basically means that any American who goes overseas, hooks up or marries someone from another country and gives birth to a child in a third country, that child is eligible to become President. If I understand correctly, Cruz did not even become a citizen of the US until 2011.

I think it’s time to bury the whole concept of natural born because, in effect, it no longer exists.
