Donald Trump Raises Questions About Ted Cruz's Canadian Birth

Obama got away with being ineligible because the GOP was afraid of being called racist by the media. Ted Cruz doesn’t have that luxury.

[kidd]

There are about 4 anti Cruz Freepers

Statistical noise

[Jewbacca]

They are morons.

[Jonty30]

Cruz is aware that he will have enemies on all four sides and he’s moving forward anyway. He probably has looked at his candidacy and thinks he’s eligible.

[Godebert]

There is nobody I like more than Ted Cruz. But he is NOT a natural born Citizen. He would make a great attorney general.

“And a lot of these FReepers would slice their noses off to spite their faces.
It has been done before. I hope that we do not have a repeat. “

Michael Jackson?

"Cruz is aware that he will have enemies on all four sides and he’s moving forward anyway. He probably has looked at his candidacy and thinks he’s eligible."

Cruz knows all about Natural Law. I think he is running to expose Obama as ineligible.

My local news (liberal biased) here in Florida is already running stories about Cruz and eligibility.

But, the whiners seem to never consider the truth - Cruz’s mother WAS A LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZEN. That automatically makes him a “natural born citizen”.

The fact that he was born in Canada is a non-entity. He could have been born to his mother in any other country in the world, and he would still be a US CITIZEN. And, while he did have DUAL-Citizenship with Canada (because that country has to register the birth) - Cruz has already renounced his Canadian portion.

Proving that Trump doesn’t know SQUAT!

And, once again, Jim Robinson has said - it’s a closed issue on FR.

[chicken head]

ha ha— i thought the same thing - that would be awesome to see

[RIghtwardHo]

ODimwit was eligible and Cruz is eligible. This is a ridiculous, absurd issue for either.

[chuckles]

I wrote that I would be supporting Cruz and one of them said he wouldn't vote if Cruz was the candidate to protect the Constitution.

Let that sink in a minute while considering Obama.

[Godebert]

Note the reference to Natural Law in the first sentence of our Declaration of Independence.

The Supreme Court of the United States has never applied the term “natural born citizen” to any other category than “those born in the country of parents who are citizens thereof”.

My understanding is that the bulk of legal scholars believe Cruz is eligible.

[conservativejoy]

Thanks for sharing. I wondered where levin was on Ted Cruz. I certainly trust his opinion on his Constitutional
eligibilty.

[conservativejoy]

Your post makes a lot of sense. Based on the position of those who say he is ineligible because he was born in Canada, anyone whose mother may have been out of the country when they were born would not be U.S. citizens. Ridiculous.

[Godebert]

"My understanding is that the bulk of legal scholars believe Cruz is eligible."

And the bulk of scientists believe in global warming.

Think for yourself.

If we can elect a Kenyan communist, a Canadian conservative if fine with me.

Trump is so light weight in his brain, it should be floating in air. He knows nothing of who is a natural born citizen and who is not. Cruz’s mom was an American citizen, so Cruz is a natural born citizen. He didn’t have to go through naturalization to be a citizen - those who have to go through the naturalization process are not natural born. It’s just not complicated.

I was among te early “birthers” but walked away from the issue when it became apparent that we were being flooded with trolls who seemed to want to use the issue to manipulate.

I think we’ll be seeing a lot of them returning to “stand on principle”.
