Even if a couple of American citizens are on vacation in London and the woman prematurely gives birth...the child can’t be president they argue.
Well said and every point you made is valid and irrefutable.
As a personal example, my father was killed in combat during the early stage of WWII. Before leaving for overseas, I was conceived here in Texas by a mother who was native Texan. But pregnant with a child on the way (me) and in this crisis of her husband's death, she moved in with his parents who happened to be in Pennsylvania. Thus, my birth certificate show "Penn'a" and not "Tex". That's how it was abbreviated back in the 1940s before the leftists started that silly two-letter state code.
But since life begins at conception, is there any doubt that I'm indeed a native Texan? The first seven months of my life in the womb were nurtured here in this Great State and the only the last two were in "Penn'a". I sure consider myself a native Texan and certainly fit the criteria better than unhinged leftists such as Tommy Lee Jones, Bob Schieffer, Wendy Davis, Domingo Garcia, Willie Nelson and Matthew McConaughey.
Likewise Senator Ted Cruz is more thoroughly Texan than just about anyone short of Sam Houston and Davy Crockett. The "Calgary" stamp on is birth certificate is meaningless in my eyes. He lives and breathes the Christian Conservative values that are at the heart of being a Texan.
I sympathize. When I’m asked “where are you from ?” it’s hard to answer. I was concieved in CA, born in GA at Ft. Benning while dad was in the army, lived to 11 in CA and then moved to AR where I graduated high school and went to the U of Ark. Moved around after I got married and have been living in TN for the last 25 years.
