Vanity: Would Ted Cruz Be Eligible For POTUS During The Time Of Our Founding Fathers
Me | 01/11/2016 | PJBankard

Posted on 01/11/2016 6:52:52 PM PST by PJBankard

Based on the current knowledge of Ted Cruz's citizenship, would Ted Cruz be considered eligible for the presidency at the time of our Founding Fathers (1788 - 1840).

Facts About Ted Cruz:
1) Mother was U.S. Citizen
2) Father was a foreign Citizen
3) Born in Foreign Country (Canada was a British Colony at the time)
4) Held Dual Citizenship



On July 25, 1787, John Jay wrote to George Washington, presiding officer of the Convention:

Permit me to hint, whether it would not be wise and seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government, and to declare expressly that the Command in chief of the American army shall not be given to, nor devolve on, any but a natural born Citizen.

While the Committee on Detail originally proposed that the President must be merely a citizen as well as a resident for 21 years, the Committee of Eleven changed "citizen" to "natural born citizen" without recorded explanation after receiving Jay's letter. The Convention accepted the change without further recorded debate.

She's not doing the forum any favors by being here with that crap. I *ADORE*e Jesus and I *SUPERLOVE* the Bible, but when it is misused as a form of 'debate dismissal' in a political forum, it is UTTERLY being misused.

Jesus WEEPS at such twisting of His Sacred Truth.

You are a fraud and a liar. You are just like ClassyGreenEyedBlond who claimed to be a beautiful conservative woman, but was in fact an older, pudgy, balding liberal dude.

STOP MISUSING MY HOLY, BELOVED BIBLE IN THIS FORUM, you fraud.

Chime in here bro. We got a ‘so called Christian’ who is making nothing but enemies on the forum and using Scripture in a way that is more likely to damage the Christian following than it is to uplift our Christ Jesus.

2 Thessalonians 3:6...”In the name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, we command you, brothers and sisters (TRUE BELIEVERS), to KEEP AWAY from every believer who is IDLE and DISRUPTIVE and DOES NOT LIVE according to the teaching you received from us.”

THANK YOU, JESUS!!!

HALLELUJAH!!!

Give it time.

Pretty soon she’ll start inserting herself in the verses as the 1st person speaker.

(Did it before on a now pulled thread.)

Hey folks I think we ought to TRY to find the peace? I climbed up the discussion and am foggy on what even started all this, or who is being a stinker, but it sure looks like we’re all bristling at one another now; that’s silly and I sure hope I did nothing to add to that.

It ain’t about how good we are, even the best whoever that might be, and here’s a secret it probably isn’t even me.

It’s about how good God is and how well God can play through our troubled lives if we can open up to how God wants things done. Which is a mega kindness that is absolutely stunning. We might not FEEL kind all the time, but we can try to carry it out as best we have learned.

IMPORTANT POINT HERE:

This is not a church, in which whenever anyone makes a political point, the counter is to quote a Bible verse. To misuse the Bible in such a way is a SINFUL act, and it helps no one and grants no one vision. All it does is troll up the place with static.

I love Jesus and I love the Bible but I do not post a scripture verse every time someone challenges a political point of mine. That's not an answer, that's a pathetic misuse of Scripture to deflect, and it offends me.

Jim Rob, look this one over. She may be trolling as I described above.
