One something like Judge Hanen, perhaps.
I am not arguing that Cruz will be ruled ineligible, merely that if the best legal arguments, supported by logic, history, and precedent, were the only basis for decision, then he would be.
[T]here were more than 200 attempts to invalidate the candidacy/presidency of Obama . . .
Obama was not born outside the U.S., and even if he was, unless I am mistaken no court ever considered it to be proven.
(And Obama was not anti-establishment.)
(Not that Cruz is, necessarily.)
The very same judge in New Jersey (Masin) who ruled on Ted Cruz also ruled Obama to qualify as a natural born citizen. There were 21 state and federal court rulings finding Obama to be a natural born citizen.
Here ‘s an excerpt from the New Jersey ruling: Purpura & Moran v Obama: New Jersey Administrative Law Judge Jeff S. Masin: “No court, federal, state or administrative, has accepted the challengers’ position that Mr. Obama is not a “Natural Born Citizen” due to the acknowledged fact that his father was born in Kenya and was a British citizen by virtue of the then applicable British Nationality Act. Nor has the fact that Obama had, or may have had, dual citizenship at the time of his birth and thereafter been held to deny him the status of natural born. It is unnecessary to reinvent the wheel here. … The petitioners’ legal position on this issue, however well intentioned, has no merit in law. Thus, accepting for the point of this issue that Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii, he is a ‘Natural Born Citizen’ regardless of the status of his father.” April 10, 2012
And from Arizona: Allen v Obama, Arizona Superior Court Judge Richard E. Gordon: “Arizona courts are bound by United States Supreme Court precedent in construing the United States Constitution, and this precedent fully supports that President Obama is a natural born citizen under the Constitution and thus qualified to hold the office of President. Contrary to Plaintiff’s assertion, Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1874), does not hold otherwise.”—Pima County Superior Court, Tuscon, Arizona, March 7, 2012
