It clearly did not. If it did, the first Congress would have said "Shall Be Natural born citizens", not "Shall be considered as natural born citizens. "
The two phrases mean exactly the same thing. Its just a more old English way of saying it.
Really? You gonna stick by that?
Tell us, what is the functional difference between being deemed Natural Born and being considered as natural Born?
One says the location itself makes one Natural Born and the other says that the conditions/situation make them the same as Natural Born - functionally, they are treated the same.
If you don't like Cruz, donate to another candidate - and maybe FR while you're at it (unless already doing so and being shy about it).
Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
We need to ensure we don't get another Obama-like America Hater as the next President.
The best way to ensure that is to actively support a candidate as the next President.
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other who enjoys the fruits of others' work for your own benefit.
PS - If you are one of those who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....
GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!
