The easiest prediction of the 2016 primaries is that Republicans will have a profound change of heart on who is and isn’t “natural born” once more of them become better acquainted with the circumstances of Ted Cruz’s birth.
For now, though: Disqualified.
Fifty-two percent overall and 53 percent of Republicans think you’re not “natural born” if you were born abroad to an American-citizen mother — and yet, when asked point-blank whether Cruz is eligible to be president, 55 percent of Republicans say yes versus just nine percent who say no. When asked the same question of Obama, the split is 31/55 even though the Birther scenario in which O was secretly born in Kenya would put him in precisely the same situation as Cruz (born abroad, citizen mother, non-citizen father). Does that mean the GOP electorate’s destined to turn on Cruz once more of them discover where he was born, fearing that his immigrant parentage and Canadian birth have left his loyalty to the U.S. hopelessly compromised? Er, no. A reversal on this subject is far more likely. After all, you can define “natural born” various ways — by place of birth, parents’ citizenship, or some combo thereof. For example:

Or any military personnel or diplomat or any American who’s out of country I think.
Not for me though.
I don’t think so. Sheriff Arpaio is about to close out his secind criminal investigation on Obama and I don’t think the American public will be ready for what he has to release.
What difference does it make?
The sheep will vote for the first _resident with lady parts, aka the beast. Mark my words.
“Or any military personnel or diplomat or any American who’s out of country I think.”
Now, yes. I was just thinking that a law established long ago might have some weight.
This is settled law. Some Important People here at FR have decreed him eligible. Case closed.
If Barry Soetoro is a “natural born citizen”, EVERYBODY on the planet is a “natural born citizen.”
See your FRmail.
With pleasure!
Back when I was a Marine Corps brat, being taught in an elementary school on a Marine Corps airbase, that is precisely what they taught us.
I believe the 'rats used the power of the press and the magic of open primaries to select McCain, the weakest available candidate, for that exact reason; it prevented the 'pubs from challenging obama's bona fides...
Exactly.
Children born abroad of American parents are, by law, citizens.
A Natural Born Citizen needs no law to declare them a citizen.

“This is settled law”
What statute or court case are they basing this as settled law?
John Mc Cain was born at the Family Hospital at Coco Solo Naval Air Station, Panama Canal Zone. His birth certificate was signed by Captain W.L. Irvine who was Director of the base medical facility.

McCain’s mother, Roberta is still alive at 102. I think she knows where she gave birth!
The whole “natural born” thing is irrelevant with Obama. He’s an illegal alien and a foreign agent.
Its a proven forgery.
