WASHINGTON - It seems like only yesterday that skeptics of Barack Obama's birth in Hawaii rushed to the Supreme Court to try to block the son of an American mother and Kenyan father from taking office as president. The justices turned away those challenges as fast as they arrived at the courthouse door, much as lower courts did.
Seven years later, Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz is dealing with pointed remarks from rival Donald Trump that Cruz's birth in Canada to an American mother and Cuban father raises doubt about his eligibility to be president and could dog his campaign for the White House. Trump had also famously questioned whether Obama was really born in Hawaii....

So let's quickly drop this Cruz birther stuff. He is eligible. Period. We have a Presidency to win. We can't waste another day on this. Fight on!
Thanks for Ping Lucy....I haven’t really bothered to get in the ‘is or not Cruz a Citizen ordeal’ as it’s already been settled for most people unless it’s news to them there’s an issue for some.
Trumps simply pulling it out of his hat tricks because he said he would if Cruz got to close.
Thanks for the ping, Lucy.
I have avoided talking about the issue, but the Cruz fanatics just keep bringing it up.
#20 does, indeed, give a fair explanation of what “Natural born citizen” meant at the time it entered the constitution, in the days of the Founding Fathers, and for the next 150 years or so.
Now, of course, the academic lawyers claim we have a “living constitution” that can be changed to agree with our current assumptions. No, the Constitution is a legal document that doesn’t change just because some liberal wants it to, but doesn’t have the votes to change it.
A “majority” of academic lawyers say that Cruz is qualified? It’s a safe bet that 99% of them are liberals, even if Cruz claims to be a conservative. I won’t get into the issue of what Cruz really stands for, as opposed to what he says. But he is NOT a natural born citizen. And just because Obama cheated and lied is no reason that we should do the same. That’s for guys like Mitch the Bitch and Boner to do.
No, I’m not about to join in suing Cruz. But the Democrats certainly will, if they can manage to get him nominated first, which they same to be working on pretty hard.
