What I find hilarious is that if Obama was actually the child of the communist pedophile, Frank Marshall Davis, somehow he would be copacetic as a Presidential candidate according to the Constitution.

I don't think it needs to be the 4th of July, so long as conception took place in a pickup truck in an isolated field with too much beer and cowboy music in the background...

That is the big joke. The lying SOB might be NBC but can't admit it.

One thing is certain.
Obama is duplicitous in nature.
Hidden allegiances fill his life.

I wouldn’t go claiming Cruz is not a US citizen But you just did, when you claimed he wasn't naturalized.

Might, but you are a racist if you ask about it.

If they meant, “a citizen born within the borders of the united States to two parents, each of whom is also a US citizen, and not citizens of any other country, both having sworn allegiance to the these united States, having been here at least four generations...”, they would have said so.They didn't need to. Everyone at the time knew exactly what the phrase meant. It would be redundant (defining it) if it were already part of the 18th century Lexicon........which it was! That's why both definitions, Natural Born Citizen and Citizen appear in [Article II; Section I] of the Constitution. If there had been no difference in the meaning..... there would have been no need to include both terms!

Common sense would indicate that NBC means born in the native country to citizens (plural) of that country. FWIW, Cruz is a great conservative, and Canada is a wonderful country (as I can attest to, being a NBC of Canada). Interesting.
In Canada NBC only requires a single citizen parent and doesn't require birth on Canadian soil.
You proudly attest to being an NBC of Canada while claim the lack of "common sense" here in the US when we use the same definition.

I don’t know what Cuba’s laws are with regards to citizenship.
I do know that Ted has never held any allegiance to Cuba.
