But yet again you don’t get it. The post you just sent is about citizenship. We are in complete agreement about citizenship. While not knowing all the facts it appears very unlikely that Cruz’s mother renounced her citizenship before his birth and he is, by the Laws and practice of America, an American citizen through his Mother at birth, although in the case of a foreign birth documentation needs to be provided to confirm the facts of the case.
What you are glossing over is the salient point that to become President or Vice President of the United States requires a special form of citizenship, natural born citizenship which has been defined and described as a child born to two American parents on American soil, although there are exceptions as to place of birth, as in the case of diplomats or people serving America overseas. America ignored that definition and constitutional requirement at it’s peril with Obama.
The media shaming and the court stonewalling of people that wanted to have the issue addressed starting in 2007 resulted in a President with foreign allegiances holding sway over the country for 8 years. The damage at home and abroad is staggering. We cannot be cavalier about the need for our Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates to have two citizen parents. It is a safeguard against putting in power someone with a divided allegiance which was addressed by our Founders and can be seen in their writings and correspondence and in the writers such as Vatel that they drew from in writing our Constitution. No matter how able a man Cruz is another incursion upon the Constitution will endanger America for the future.
