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.

Let’s keep up the silence on this thread. Teach by example. Discuss whatever you wish with the person, offline.

Nope. She’s a troll and a disrupter and I am committed to seeing her banned.

Let me tell you with 100% confidence.

It is going to DAWN on this person how what this person has been uttering applies to this person.

God is ironic that way. I’ve issued a number of warnings about that, but even I won’t push it to the asinine point. (The donkey spoke only once even.)

The time has arrived to just let it happen! “He makes all things beautiful in His time.”

Aw come on be a sport. Deny the person every single basis for a complaint, let the person’s folly stand alone. I’m pretty sure the bible supports that notion.

I love to watch God work. This is a chance for it to happen.

Laz, it would have happened already. Everyone that could is aware of it. She posts Trump articles and thats all that matters.

And once it hits her (and yes the Holy Spirit WILL do that, even better than you could) then no more troll trouble.

Humor me. Bear me out on this one. She’s been warned of hypocrisy. Now let the silence teach her, because it really isn’t silence. It’s time for the Holy Spirit speaking.

Hey Norm let me bend your mind a bit.

I am thankful to God for something that Barack Obama did.

Why? Just because you put an existential cage around yourself and called it my cage, doesn’t mean you can’t take the silly thing down and we can’t “kiss and make up.”

It turns out that we all care about a common set of things.

We don’t all agree on the approaches to them and that’s fine. That makes room for discussion to try to determine what’s the best approach. This is what they used to call liberal, before the illiberal liberals of today stole the word (like homosexuals stole gay).

Well, then, there is now a proven vector for Adminstration trolls to make it on to and stay on FR.

If she (if it is even a ‘she’) is Satan-driven and a troll sent by the administration — and those people DO exist — then no amount of Holy Spirit will move ‘her’. You serve Christ or you serve mammon. You cannot serve both.

I’ve advocated a silence campaign towards the one who is in a troublesome mood right now.

The ducks look to all be set up in a row for God to resolve this. The ingredient needed now is “Wait.”

God works excellently. God humbled my pride which proves that God can humble anybody’s pride.

Even those are subject to getting delivered by Jesus. Once damned always damned is the devil’s version of Calvinism.

But. I think she’s not being the kind of purposeful perverse malicious that we see out of Satan. I think she’s lashing out at an illusion. There is still a human soul there.

And yet. Someone who’s hidden doesn’t usually stick a hand out and say nyaa nyaa can you hit it.

Everybody can stand to learn some lessons. Even I can stand to learn lessons all over again because I can get proud really easy and forget the attitude in which those lessons made sense.

What, banned?!?

Now the banned cannot play on. No fair...

I guess not everybody has as much patience as I. Personally I would have kept up the silent treatment on the thread. But we know it on FR unfortunately. Nothing can be louder than a victim who insists on not being anything BUT a victim.
