I apologize to all readers if I included the RECOMMENDED FOR YOU portion in the article. I was an accidental copy and paste error.
Sorry...
if obama never had to produce a copy of his birth certificate, why should anyone else be required? can’t everyone just cite obama??
This is how scared they are of a real conservative. This is essentially a Borking move to try anything to stop a true conservative from becoming President.
We must fight to the last breath.
Good about the lawsuits. It’s best to get these things settled now BEFORE the nomination and the general election gets going.
Good. Hear it now and settle it. The SCOTUS should be mandated to take this up Monday morning and issue a declarative ruling. This is their job to decide constitutional questions.
I'm ALL FOR a clear, accepted definition of "natural born citizen", accepted as the law.
Rubio is an actual anchor baby. Geesh America, Wake up!
RNC has standing and needs to file the declarative judgment naming Rubio , Cruz , Trump and even Jindall. It needs to be settled NOW before there is anymore slipping off the slope of the original constitution
I dont think he did. All we tried to do was to suggest that Trump bringing it up was crazy. That won't work in court.
Interesting that this never got anywhere with Obama...
Ted Cruz, constitutional scholar, has argued successfully before the Supreme Court. I think he can hold his own on this issue.
Interesting...
The Court in Miami will rule that it is only necessary for a person to be born in the US, and ‘natural born citizenship’ does not derive from the parents.
The Court in Texas will rule that it is not necessary to born in the US, and that a person with a US parent is a ‘natural born citizen’
The two courts will be in contradiction and then it will have to go to the Supreme Court.
Or both courts could just punt and say the suits lack ‘standing’. Very interesting.
we were told that it was racist to ask this question and yet we have two men with Hispanic heritage and now it’s fair game!!!
It may not look like it, but this is a gift horse for cruz. Sooner or later cruz is going to face this issue if he is on the ballot for president or veep. Better to fight it out against a poorly prepared and ill-eguipped opponent now on your turf than a well prepared opponent later on their turf.
Why is the date of his mother’s becoming a U. S. citizen relevant, if he was born in the U.S.A.?
Does place of birth hold more weight than the citizenship of the mother? Is an anchor baby’s citizenship greater than the baby of an American citizen mother born out of country?
These are important questions, not just for Ted Cruz, but for all foreign born children of American citizens such as missionaries, contractors, military, and those conducting business in foreign countries.
“Ted Cruz, constitutional scholar, has argued successfully before the Supreme Court. I think he can hold his own on this issue.”
Ted Cruz failed miserably in the debate, because he got caught making a bald faced lie about his citizenship and the citizenship of Donald Trump. Ted Cruz said the theory is supposed to be that both parents have to be natural born citizens for the child to be a natural born citizen. That is a lie. The parents only need to be naturalized citizens or natural born citizens, and not just natural born citizens. He said this falsehood, which he is obligated to know was false since he claims to be an expert Constitutional lawyer. His lie removed all doubt as to his claims to be a conservative, and thereby demolished his credibility in the debate.
Why is it only the people who have the capacity to save this country - why must only they be brought down? Why?
Cruz has the skill to argue in court. Doesn’t mean he will win. Facts are facts.
