There are threads all over FR discussing the ability of Ann to convey citizenship due to age. Find them yourself if you want to re-read them.

Let's try again, YOU need to provide documentation from the 1960s, not conspiracy theories cooked up in the last few years, to prove your point.

I never saw a thread posing your 40 year conspiracy straw man. You asserted that straw man and now you wan ME to back something up?

Really, you've never seen the theories that the birth announcement was somehow planted in the newspaper for illicit reasons.

I'm sure you think you just made an intelligent argument...

And I'm sure you consider yourself a renowned constitutional scholar.

The bottom line is that Cruz is eligible. This is Cruz country, and anyone attacking Cruz is going to get gob-smacked. There might be a few of the “concerned” who haven’t read the past FR threads on this subject, but most have. They know that US law concludes that Cruz is eligible. Those lost in the fantasy of Vattel and Wikipedia give the truthers a run for their money.

And there have already been Viking Kitties for those who persisted in concern trolling.

I think this is what the poster is referring to:

Acquisition of U.S. Citizenship by a Child Born Abroad

Birth Abroad to One Citizen and One Alien Parent in Wedlock

A child born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent and one alien parent acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under Section 301(g) of the INA provided the U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for the time period required by the law applicable at the time of the child's birth. (For birth on or after November 14, 1986, a period of five years physical presence, two after the age of fourteen, is required. For birth between December 24, 1952 and November 13, 1986, a period of ten years, five after the age of fourteen, is required for physical presence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child.) The U.S. citizen parent must be the genetic or the gestational parent and the legal parent of the child under local law at the time and place of the child’s birth to transmit U.S. citizenship.

(emphasis on that sentence is my own, and not in the original)

If you presume Obama's birth certificate is fraudulent, and he was born in Kenya as his own book claimed (but later retracted), his mother would not have met the requirement of five years after the age of 14. I believe she was 18 at the time of his birth.

I might have gotten some of Obama's details wrong. But, the interpretation of the law is straight from the US State department's own web page. There's no need to go back to a newspaper article from the 60's.

I simply said there were indeed many discussion about Ann. I didn't claim to have the answer to the question. See, reading is fun-damental.

Yes I have, and I gave you the most likely reason why.

And I'm sure you consider yourself a renowned constitutional scholar.

No, which is why I have offered no Constitutional analysis. But I did call Jim for you, OK?
