Ever heard the term “the Stupid Party?”
The Democrats challenged McCain’s eligibility in the Senate which later defined NBC as someone who had two US citizen parents re-affirming the SCOTUS definition of NBC.....Cowardly McCain refused to counter challenge. Sigh!
You’re asking me to defend Republican stupidity/cowardice? Don’t waste either of ours times. They should have challenged it at several junctures. In the end all it would have taken was 1 Senator and 1 Representative to object to Obama.
There was plenty of discussion about Obama’s eligibility BEFORE the 2008 election. As I have said both before that election and now the NBC requirement is a matter of “Pedigree.” Like in the canine world, you can’t be a poodle unless both parents are poodles. And yes, it’s just as simple as that.
At any rate you can be sure the Democrats will challenge Cruz’s eligibility and win easily. His mother may have passed on her citizenship, but so did his father, a Canadian. Native birth in Canada seals his dual citizenship and disqualifies him as a NBC. like Obama, Cruz is a mongrel NBC-wise. Failure to grasp that either in 2008 or now puts you squarely among the rank and file of the Stupid Party.
There certainly was.
But ALL of it had to do with his birthplace -- a reasonable speculation that he was not born in a Hawaii hospital, but in Kenya, or Canada, or someplace else.
NONE of it had to with his not being a "natural-born citizen". That didn't come up until after he was already elected.
So, my question remains "Why was there no static raised by anybody -- among the hundreds of thousands of lawyers, jurists, political observers and self-described constitutional experts, such as yourself -- regarding his known-to-be Kenyan father?"
If it was such a clear breach of the constitutional specification, why did nobody broach it until after the question was moot?
