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.

Proverbs 21:9
It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house.

Watch out where binary takes you, because you are a sinner too, Norm. Maybe an awesome sinner! But still a sinner.

We have to live on that messy thing called grace and it is God’s grace, not your “good graces.” There is NO other spiritual sustenance to be had. None.

Proverbs 26:24 - “Enemies disguise themselves with their lips, but in their hearts they harbor deceit.”

Or even a double wide trailer? (Duck’n & runn’n)

Can we have a good laugh and get out of this quarrel?

Because real enemies of God’s grace lurk and are beginning to pounce even now.

It tales me to direct quotes she fought to either deny outright, call myself and others liars over, or post scripture to try making her appear to be something she isn’t.

You an I have our issues Hitek. But this isn’t a personal issue between you and I. It’s an open clintonite on FR.

Remember Ephesians 6. What the Old Testament could often only deal with as people problems, turn out to be demon problems in the end. Even the Old Testament says it is the glory of a man (and presumably a woman) to overlook an insult, too. Hint, hint?

I am of the mind that disruptors need to be exposed and dealt with.

Sir, I would have to see worse than this. You’ve been SUPER accusatory at times and this gets taken into account! The more noise, the bigger grain of salt. It’s inevitable.

Ephesians 6 tells us what those are. Hint, hint.

I do not go to the Religion Forum much. Do you? Do you find this disruptor Clinton fan posting there?

I should have realized that not even her own direct admission would not sway you. Because it’s me that told you.

Nevermind. Lets go back to ignoring each other.

You want me to be sympathetic to that... I have to see exact cases. I can’t go on your second hand reports and I think by now it may be dawning on you as to why.

Well you understand that if I try to be real and you try to be a persona, there isn’t much discussion to be had.

I refuse to be a persona. It diminishes me. It even diminishes further the other one who is being a persona.

I showed you a direct statement. It isn’t Schrodinger’s Comment. A thing cannot be one thing and the other simultaneously.

You read Norm’s 290, at least i assume you did. Because you responded to it.

Keeping it simple. Any credit to Clinton indicates a mind and herat out of phase with what once were the basics around here.
