“I don’t really like jumping on bandwagons too quickly, Rubio, Ryan, sometimes they abandon Conservatives on big issues. That being said I like Ted Cruz and at this time find no one better. I too am disturbed about citizenship but it’s not my job or within my power to declare him elgible or inelgible and if the powers that be declare him elgible and he’s on the ballot I’ll support and vote for him. Again we can thank democrats for elgibility standards being clouded.”

I previously posted this comment and I see nothing here to change my opinion.

Then let me give you something to change your opinion, at least as far as being "disturbed about citizenship" goes.

Ted Cruz is Constitutionally eligible to be President - according to the top authorities of the early United States who knew exactly what the Founding Fathers meant by "natural born citizen."

"It is not necessary that a man should be born in this country, to be 'a natural born citizen.' It is only requisite that he should be a citizen by birth, and that is the case with all the children of citizens who have ever resided in this country, though born in a foreign country."

- James Bayard, A Brief Exposition of the Constitution of the United States (1833)

The above quote was part of Bayard's discussion of the qualifications to be President, and Presidential eligibility.

Bayard's exposition of the Constitution was read and approved by the Great Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Marshall, by the legendary Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, and by the famous Chancellor James Kent, as well as other legal experts of the early United States.

Bayard himself was the grandson of Richard Bassett, United States Senator #1 and one of the 39 Delegates who Signed the Constitution.

And Bayard's FATHER (who is also credited with brokering the deal that made Thomas Jefferson our 3rd President)was known to his peers in Congress as "HIGH PRIEST OF THE CONSTITUTION."

Not one single person ever said that James Bayard was wrong about his understanding of what "natural born citizen" meant.
