LOL. I forgot. All SC decisions are correct.
Better?
LOL.
Sure I did.
Trump Good, Cruz bad....blah blah blah repeat until the sheep believe the hype.
Incorrect. “Official” recognition requires paperwork.
The Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) is the paperwork that makes the recognition official, the same as the birth certificate for domestic births.
Correct or not, and I agree that many are not, they are treated as "settling the issue as a matter of law."
If, hypothetically, the case went before SCOTUS, and SCOTUS said Cruz was naturalized, we'd be in the same boat as far as public dialog goes, but a different boat as far as whether Cruz could occupy the office.
Would you LOL if SCOTUS said a citizen born under the law that Cruz was, was a naturalized citizen?
Wrong, you used directly quoted the act, saying "child of parents". Do you know what quotes are used for?
Agree completely except for one thing. From a Dem POV, they will be arguing HI (for Obama) vs Canada. It doesn’t matter if that makes any legal difference or not. The Dems and their MSM enablers will simply repeat ‘Hawaii vs Canada’ until peoples’ ears ache with the refrain. Sooner or later it will have the desired results.
Fwiw, here is a post I put up yesterday re Dems and the HI issue. It pertains:
‘This is why [Obama’s] supposed HI birth was stressed to death by his defenders. They went so far as to create a cut and paste birth certificate, and passed it off as original. A small but rabid band of bona fide Obots infested FR for ~7 yrs, arguing Jus Soli days, nights, weekends and holidays.’
I.e.: they pinned it all on the soil, not on Stanley Ann Dunham. Again, fwiw.
Nailed it on that fraud Rubio.
Making up $#!+ as you go along doesn't really help your candidate. It's not likely to persuade anyone that we should nominate and elect a real estate baron reality TV star to the highest executive political office in our Republic. The records of two celebrity governors elected with similar enthusiasm in California and Minnesota (the latter State also put a talentless comedian into the Senate) don't argue well for the idea.
No. He was made a citizen by virtue of the immigration and naturalization laws. So, it matters not whether he has some certificate.
Nature isn’t determined by a government form.
After what they did with Obama, the same liberals arguing against Ted Cruz would ‘prove’ the Constitution lets space aliens run if they had one they thought could win.
English common law
Do you have any documents from the founders that show they intended to create a class of ‘citizens from birth’ who were not ‘natural born’?
Is it true that since the actor who plays the undertaker in the movie Phantasm has died, that Ted is going to get the part in any further sequels? See, that's what's called needling or in some quarters "Making up $#!+ (up)".
The Democrats (and the GOPe) will construct, print, forge, and shout us down to get the next ‘chosen’ candidate if needed.
Problem: unsettled law
Solution: declarative judgment
Absolutely agree!
Whatever.
My point is that it would be an incorrect ruling.
A person either earns citizenship, which is "naturalization" or a person has a natural birth right to citizenship, which is being "naturally born".
Any third category of citizenship, such as somebody being "naturalized at birth" (lol) is silly. Logically, how does somebody earn something a birth? You can't earn something without doing something, it just doesn't make sense.
Right. Like it matters whether you were born while your mother was on vacation in the Bahamas.
Very interesting....can happen!
There is a whole drama over Winston Churchill’s family.
Mother had affair with King ,etc.
Winston was in line to be Duke but a late in life child took him out of the running.
Winton’s mother was American. Winston was born in the great Blenheim Palace. This means if Cruz could run so could Winston.
Now some might want to say that Winston would make a great President. Maybe he would.
But would James Madison really think that Winston Churchill, in line for a Dukedom, should be President.
He was offered a Dukedom by the Queen. He turned it down because of his son.
But suppose he accepted it.
Then you would have Duke of London running for POTUS
