For what it’s worth...

________________________

“The Corker Iran bill passed the Senate 98-1 today and if you are like me, you are wondering if that one ‘no’ vote was Ted Cruz. Well, it wasn’t. He, along with all of his Republican colleagues voted to pass the Corker Iran bill despite the fact that it cedes treaty power in regard to this Iran nuclear deal to Obama.

Cruz explains why in a press release from just moments ago:

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, released the following statement regarding votes on the Iran Nuclear Review Act:

“This bill was a missed opportunity. If Congress had acted to defend our constitutional authority – if Congress had adopted the Cruz-Toomey amendment – then we would be able to stop a bad Iran deal. Instead, the odds are now overwhelming that under these ground rules President Obama will negotiate, and Congress will acquiesce to, a terrible deal that allows Iran to acquire nuclear weapons and will endanger the lives of millions of Americans and our allies.

“I voted no on cloture because we should have insisted on amendments to put real teeth in this bill. Ultimately, I voted yes on final passage because it may delay, slightly, President Obama’s ability to lift the Iran sanctions and it ensures we will have a Congressional debate on the merits of the Iran deal. I will continue to lead the fight to prevent the Islamic Republic of Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and to protect the national security of America and our allies.”

Not worth much.
I remember reading it at the time and not buying it at all.
It was that vote and cloture for TPA that opened my eyes about Ted Cruz.
The closer I looked without the rose-colored glasses, the less I liked.
He’s a fraud who learned the right phrases and how to act conservative.
It was all about getting him to the White House.
The Constitution says he is not eligible.
The Kenyanesian Usurper got by with it and he wanted to as well.

The resolution for McCain stated his TWO citizen parents was what made him a natural born citizen even though he was born in Panama.
The claim for Obama was he was born here, even though he claimed a Kenyan national as father.
Neither were eligible, nor were Cruz, Jindal, Haley and Rubio.
Both parties wanted to get rid of the natural born citizen requirement.

Natural born citizen means both.
Born here of citizen parents.
The founders wanted no foreign influence.
No foreign birth
No foreign parent(s)
No foreign citizenship(s)

It certainly never meant Cubans born in Canada.
