Being born on territory of the U.S.A. is a requirement of eligibility to hold the office of President, irrespective of the nationality of one’s mother.

What? So, if my American parents happened to be visiting Canada when I was born, I'm suddenly ineligible? Even though I was an American citizen at birth?

That makes no sense. Natural born does not mean "born on US territory"; it means "American citizen at birth". Someone who is an American citizen at birth is not "naturalized". Therefore they are, by definition, Natural Born.

The issues surrounding 0bama's citizenship center around his mother's age, and thus her US citizenship status, at the time of 0bama's birth.

The birth of Ted Cruz to an unquestionably American mother (while she was in Canada) is a much different situation.

Ted Cruz is an NBC, and not a single Court in this nation is going to rule otherwise. Not one.

That homosexuals have a right to marry? Do you agree with the courts about this? I don't.

I personally don't think something is true just because the courts say it is. I happen to be able to think for myself, and I have a strong suspicion I am better at thinking and analyzing than they are.

I am certainly not impressed much by what the courts think about things nowadays. They all seem to have a screw loose.

“No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President, et., etc., .............”

Absent an unmistakably clear and universally accepted definition of “natural born citizen” being included or clearly cited in the Constitution, the issue has been rendered moot, in my opinion.
The End!!
