How is this not an issue?

Wasn’t the entire issue about Obama being born in Kenya this precise problem?

Now it’s not a problem?

/confused. for real.

The problem with O’s mother, she had not lived in the U.S. for 14 years prior to the age of eighteen and thus could not confer citizenship if O was born out of the country.

There were many issues with Obama. First, his mom was not in America the required number of years before his birth. Second, he was adopted in Indonesia and probably became a citizen. You can't have dual citizenship in Indonesia. When did he get his citizenship back? Third, did he ever apply as a foreign student to college? There are so many document problems, from a forged draft registration to a fictitious SS#, that Obama needs to clear up, we know he's lying. He was born in Hawaii, but almost everything else is problematic.He even swore under penalty of perjury, that he never had an alias.( Barry Soretoro)

For Cruz, If mom was a US citizen, he qualifies. If he never used his Canadian citizenship to get foreign status( like college loans or government benefits for foreigners), then he's OK. If we find he claimed to be Canadian to get bennies, he has a problem. One thing to look for would be his draft reg. If he registered, He put himself as an American. Foreigners don't have to register. If he considered himself Canadian, he wouldn't have. When and where did he get a SS#?

Either way, he's my guy until someone makes the case he thought of himself a Canadian all these years. For me, citizenship is a privilege for people that Think American. If he thinks Canadian, I don't want him or anyone of the other 12 million that just want the money and benefits. We have anchor babies that love America, and anchor babies that fly the Mexican flag and say we are Atzlan. If Ted was born in Canada and thinks American, that's fine with me. Legally, the way it is now, we could elect a person that doesn't even speak English and burns the America flag on the WH lawn. by 2050, this will be a real problem. If Cruz passes the "David Barton" test, that's good enough for me. Laws can be used to help or defeat America. Disqualifying Cruz by some technicality would be a shame when Obama has made a mockery of our Constitution as it is. I know the flames are coming from all the internet FR lawyers, but picking legal lint out of our collective navel's has gotten us where we are today. Everything is decided in the SCOTUS and Western Christian values are being buried by "living documents", and legal trivia. If we don't start to pick leaders that are Christians and steeped in "American" values, America is finished. American Values aren't butchering babies and selling their body parts. American Values aren't destroying 5000 years of law by legalizing sodomy. We prayed in public for 200 years when we were told we no longer could. The Bible was taught in public school until the 50's and 60's. They want to destroy the second Amendment, 5th Amendment, 1st Amendment, heck they want to do away with all of it as long as they get to rewrite it.

Truth be known, we are already finished and it was done with so called Natural Born Citizens. Jesus said, "You will know them by their fruit." Every jot and tittle of the law doen't make you a citizen in my mind. Would you rather have Cruz, born to an American mother, or John Kerry who thinks of himself as French?

Stanley Ann Dunham - assuming she's the actual birth mother - was not old enough by law to confer citizenship to a child born outside of the US.

Since Obama was allowed to run, could Ted use the discovery process to access his birth certificate?
