Like Obama.. Trumps statements come with an expiration date.
I’m sorry it hurts so many feelings that natural born citizen is an exclusionary term meaning one can only be a US citizen and nothing else, born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because there is no other possibility.
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?
Rubio and Cruz think they should get away with it because Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama got away with it.
Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009, happened with the complete cooperation of both parties.
They want the Constitution changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
The bench was the reason the GOP went along with the fig leaf resolution for McCain as cover for Obama.
Jindal, Rubio, Haley and Cruz were all up and comers and the future of the party and ineligible.
After tonight, I’d vote for Kasich over Rubio. Rubio will not get my vote....ever.
The guy is playing 3D chess while everybody else plays tic-tac-toe.
Hmmm...sound exactly what he said about Cruz, and then turned around on it.
I distinctly remember his saying in the 1st or 2nd debate that he, Trump, had had his lawyers look at Cruz and that he was fine.
Then when Cruz rose in the polls he turned around on that.
Now Rubio is rising in the polls...expect the same.
But primary politics is a hard, rough and tumble thing. These guys all have to weather these types of storms...it will make them stronger.
Rubio was born in the US of two Cubans (non-US citizens).
He’s not NBC.
He’s an anchor baby.
If Kasich were to rise in the polls, Trump would go after him too. Kasich's ancestors weren't US citizens at the time of the ratification of the US constitution, so how can he be a "natural born citizen"?
my first generation Italians grandparents were more patriotic that the current under 35 crowd has been and will ever be.
and i’m sure some of them go way way back. what good does it do?
it’s a closed minded backwards law.
What. Man can’t change his mind? Just like the professional politicians he is running against.
Go Trump
Trump’s view about who is eligible is irrelevant. Neither Cruz or Rubio is eligible. Trump’s kids have a foreign mom and aren’t natural born citizens either.
Trump’s wife was a legal United States citizen when the kids she had with him were born... were they not?
..Trumpâs kids have a foreign mom and arenât natural born citizens either...
They were born in the USA to a US citizen Father. And, a LPR mother.

I agree.. id likely vote for him over trump too
Melania Trump became a naturalized US citizen before Barron William Trump, the youngest child, was born, however, prior to Congress changing the law, from 1790 to 1950, wives and children automatically became citizens of the country of the husband/father respectively. This fact is easily available at the Library of Congress, history of immigration and naturalization, therefore, according tot he US Constitution and the laws in place at that time, ALL of Trumps children would have been considered ‘natural born’ citizens at birth.
Tribe is the professor who taught both Obama and Cruz constitutional law. He’s recently said that the NBC question is not ‘settled law’ and Cruz should know that.
Typical Trump - attack people with whatever random thing spills out of your head while ignoring issues and substance.
