Exactly. If you are a citizen at the moment you are born, you are natural born.
No amount of twisted logic can change that fact.
No court or judge in the USA will ever rule that someone who was a US citizen at the moment of their birth is somehow not natural born.
Why? Because it's ludicrous to do so, that's why. Someone who is a US citizen at birth has not undergone any sort of naturalization process.
For uber-purists to entertain the fantasy that any judge, any judge, will muddy the waters with some sort of in-between interpretation is pure delusion.
Citizen at the moment of birth=natural born, and if that has not been formally stated yet, then it soon will be.
For the Cruz "birthers", I therefore ask: once the courts have (bitch) slapped you down, will you then let the matter rest? Or will you remain in denial?
Because, as Dr. Tribe has indicated, there are absolutely zero judges whose interpretation of the Constitution would be so hysterically "originalist" as to rule Ted Cruz ineligible. Practically speaking, there is simply no reason that Cruz should be considered ineligible.
There's "strict interpretation", and then there's ridiculously dogmatic irrationality. The latter is where the Cruz birthers dwell.
Well said.
The latest argument here is re; Bellini, whereby Bellini lost his NBC status by failing to meet the post-birth CONUS residency status.
Totally moot, because they fail to realize that Bellini was an NBC up until the moment he failed the residency requirement. Cruz met the requirement.
If that the best they’ve got, good luck to them. As usual, they are playing into the Dems hands.
