Sen. Ted Cruz rejected questions Sunday over his eligibility to be president, saying that although he was born in Canada the facts are clear that hes a U.S. citizen. My mother was born in Wilmington, Delaware. Shes a U.S. citizen, so Im a U.S. citizen by birth, Cruz told ABC. Im not going to engage in a legal debate. The Texas senator was born in Calgary, where his mother and father were working in the oil business. His father, Rafael Cruz, left Cuba in the 1950s to study at the University of Texas and subsequently became a naturalized citizen.
President Obama has been hounded by critics who contend he was born outside the U.S. and, therefore, ineligible to win the White House. Obama was born in Hawaii. But some Democratic critics have taken the same charge against Obama by so-called birthers and turned it against Cruz. The Supreme Court has not definitively ruled on presidential eligibility requirements. But a congressional study concludes that the constitutional requirement that a president be a natural born citizen includes those born abroad of one citizen parent who has met U.S. residency requirements.
I can tell you where I was born and who my parents were. And then as a legal matter, others can worry about that. Im not going to engage, Cruz said in the interview with This Week on ABC.

He cannot fix our problems. The only thing that can is the pain brought from foolish acts.
We've found dozens. You just keep saying "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain."
And then proceed with your repetitious lies.
Are you aware of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania?
If he wins the nomination, I would vote for him too, despite my belief that he doesn't conform to the intent of article II.
Not at all, you're just a butt.
No one is suggesting a "conspiracy." Democrats lie by nature, and when they lie collectively it's like a perverse harmony for them, but that doesn't make it a "conspiracy."
They lied about Obama and his origins and his qualifications, but this is just because they routinely lie to attain their goals.
And I agree with you on that. Neither of them inspired admiration from their base. Milquetoast were the both of them.
You're a bold-faced liar.
You can't name even one, and prove it - unless you point to some minor little mistake I've made in the course of posting hundreds of messages and already acknowledged, or some total BS like my not including every single possible detail that might also help your case.
You're a pathetic piece of scum. I have no idea why you're allowed to run your scam at FreeRepublic.
Why, do you do a little dance or something?
Yes, Vattel believed that the citizen belongs to the all-powerful State and that it is proper for the State to prevent citizens from attempting to escape to another country if the State believes that the citizen's labor is useful to the State.
And, then there's this:
§ 240. Taxes.
If the income of the public property, or of the domain, is not sufficient for the public wants, the state supplies the deficiency by taxes. These ought to be regulated in such a manner, that the citizens may pay their quota in proportion to their abilities, and the advantages they reap from society. . . ." - Vattel, The Law of Nations or the Principles of Natural Law,Book 1, Chapter 20, § 240
So, where did you think Marx got some of his ideas for communism? To Vattel, citizens were nothing more than useful tools for the State.
Americans will never adopt Vattel's crackpot ideas about citizenship or anything else. Americans believe that, by the grace of God, citizens are free!
After it cannot possibly make any further difference, you consider "NOW" to be suspect?
Apart from that, I can probably find links from "Hot Air", "Ace of Spades HQ", "Talk Polywell" and other forums where I and others were contesting the issue back in 2008, but you go on looking for a "conspiracy" if you want.
You cannot expect anyone to take you seriously when you suggest that Hillary Clinton could win an election with all her scandals.
Not even getting into "Travel Gate, WhiteWater, Tax Record abuse, Cattle Futures, Harpy screeching and imprisoned and/or dead associates, the Benghazi and Syria fiascos have pretty much ended any hope of her getting any higher office.
I do not know whom we will get as a viable Republican candidate, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Democrats were stupid enough to nominate her, but by the time Republicans have reminded everyone about what a sleazeball she and Bill were, I cannot fathom her winning any election.
If such should happen, we might as well get ready for the collapse.
But what's really interesting are the visceral reactions to your citations. In that week's worth of reading, I might find some holes in your reasoning, or I might not. But these people are like members of a cult.
If I wanted to go after you, I'd start with your assertions about Rawle. That would appear to be the shortest route. But these people can't be bothered with it. It's all "lies." And I'm a "troll" for pointing it out. Like I stated, a cult.
Given your wit so far, I expect you to come up short in all sorts of ways.
Yeah? He calls himself "lRudeboy", and he wonders why people might get the notion he's obnoxious?
And for all your whining on this thread about lies and whatnot, if you can’t refute them here, can you link me to where you’ve refuted them in the past. Because frankly, you come across as that loudmouth at the bar that everyone detests.
That’s fresh: you’re a “lamp.” Low-wattage.
No you're not, you haven't even made a pretext of being an interested researcher, you just want something to argue about.
If I thought you were serious, I would give you more information, but I won't believe it until you act like it.
