How can it not be clear? He was born in Canada. He was not naturally born in the United States of America. I don’t get how this can be unclear. NOT. BORN. IN. THE. UNITED STATES. PERIOD.
The reason it’s not clear to me, is that he is a citizen by birth through his mother. He never had to go through the naturalization process, because he was a citizen by birth through his mother. Because of legal standards such as this, that’s why it’s unclear to me whether Ted Cruz can run for president.
To my knowledge, courts have never ruled on exactly what natural born citizen with reference to presidential eligibility means. Which is also why it’s unclear to me, even though apparently very clear to you.
Neither was George Washington born in the United States of America.
So you think our laws are written so if you are a full citizen but you happen to be traveling overseas when you give birth, your kid is an illegal immigrant when you bring him back? Wouldn’t that be mind-numbingly stupid if true?
The only reason it’s an issue for Obama is because his mom did not live here enough years as an adult to meet the criteria in the law as written at the time for her kid to be a citizen if born overseas. That’s not the case with Cruz.
Take it up with the boss.
It’s been posted and made abundantly clear by him that Cruz birthers are in for a rough ride.
He was born to a fully qualified US citizen temporarily living in Canada, He’s a natural born citizen and is eligible. If he runs and is the strongest conservative running, I’ll support him to the hilt.
To be born a citizen, to not require a naturalization application to become a citizen, for the conditions of your birth alone make you a citizen, that is a natural born citizen.
John McCain was NOT. BORN. IN. THE. UNITED. STATES, was he???
So? You're a simpleton to not be able to think past that one thought.
