“... claiming the natural born citizen controversy was required the parents of a natural born citizen to also be natural born citizens.”
Cruz prefaced that comment with something like “some even say that...”. I guess to point out how goofy they all are.
Oops - found it. From the Jan. 15th debate:
Cruz:
“If an American missionary has a child abroad, that child is a natural-born citizen. That’s why George Romney, Mitt’s dad, was eligible to run for president, even though he was born in Mexico.
At the end of the day, the legal issue is quite straightforward, but I would note that the birther theories that Donald has been relying on — some of the more extreme ones insist that you must not only be born on U.S. soil, but have two parents born on U.S. soil.
Under that theory, not only would I be disqualified, Marco Rubio would be disqualified, Bobby Jindal would be disqualified and, interestingly enough, Donald J. Trump would be disqualified.”
I made a transcription of those comments made by Ted Cruz at the time of the debate. My comments and accusation that he lied are based on that transcription, the case law of the Supreme Court of the United States, and much more that I have not mentioned in Post #153. His lies are extremely egregious and irrational insofar as they appear to wrongly assume no one would notice the misdirection and falsity of his comments as he uses misplaced ridicule of his critics to deceive the audience. See Post #153 for the details.
