He not eligible because he’s not a NBC so why do they keep bringing it up? Interesting how the msm is getting antsy about Cruz this far out when they totally ignored hussein’s lack of eligibility.
I don’t think Senator Cruz will run in 2016( I started working for his Senate election in Feb 2011)
but it is really funnyto see all the Dems all wee wee’d up ovcer him.
He will run someday but in the meantime let the haters wase all their anger on MY Senator. There will be nothing left for the others
Compared to the current occupant of the Whie House, Cruz’s ancestors came over on the Mayflower.
Amazing what the media can find out about eligibility when they are motivated to do so.
A citizen at the time of adoption of the Constitution? No. Nobody alive today is.
A naturalized citizen? No. He was a citizen at birth.
A natural born citizen? Yes. The Constitution only has three categories of citizenship - and Cruz is not either of the other two.
Precedence has been established.
He will be okay once he shows his Kenyan birth certificate.
he is more American than Obama, and that’s good enough for me.
I’d much rather see him serve a couple of decades as a valuable CONSERVATIVE senator.
Cruuuuuuuz!
the same media that was silent will happily make this the #1 issue in 2016
I could care less about what Democrats say about eligibility of other candidates since Obama is not even an American.
He should comment that Obama has already set the precedent that you don’t have to be a NBC.
The Dimocrat MSM will of course challenge this man being eligible for the White House, but not their selected messiah.
Ummm, I believe that the law was changed since the ‘60s....so as to make anyone, born anywhere....to one parent who is a citizen, considered a “natural born citizen.”
Where it gets fuzzy, is that the only place (again, I believe) in federal law where being a “natural born” citizen matters is for candidates of the presidency.
If I recall, one of the issues with Mr. Obama’s birth is that in 1961, at his birth, the law required a natural born citizen required one to be born within US territory—hence the frenzy to prove he was born in Hawaii (and the frenzy by opponents to try to prove he was born elsewhere). Since federal law NOW though, doesn’t require an in-country birth, but only one citizen as a parent....it gets murky.
(Of course the other issue the Birthers clamp onto is whether the young Obama lost his citizenship, when he was adopted by his Indonesian step-father...and how, if he was a US Citizen...with a US passport, he traveled to Pakistan in the ‘80s when that was illegal by US law AND Pakistani law).
All in all though, the elites in our government and courts—have decided that Mr. Obama’s natural born status is a technicality, and they will not enforce such a small law, which is arguable....since it would mean a constitutional crises.
What we REALLY need to do though, is not to worry about the fantasy of forcing him out due to his birth status...rather to make sure the House is held by the Repubs in ‘14, or else we really could face a real constitutional crises, should Obama and the Dems hold unfettered power....
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
My great great grandfather was born in Canada...Grantham/St Catherines, Ontario...
His mother was an American born in the US of American parents, Vermont...
His father was born in Canada of American parents and grandparents...New Rochelle, NY and Herkimer County..
Yeppers he must have been eligible to be POTUS...
I knew there had to be a catch.
