In the above post, Mc-Conman’s Senate had backed up McStain’s natural born status. But more importantly — I don’t think there’s a single Establishment senator who was an Obama-birther. But McConnell’s refusal to back up Cruz the way he did McCain? Telling. Throwing Cruz under the bus. Sick, hypicrital. EVIL.
But ...
Based on research by Greetings Puny Humans, according to original intent neither Obama nor Cruz are qualified.
Hypocritical in light of Obama? You bet. But the Ruling Class really doesn’t care.
And since Chief ‘Just-us’ Roberts acts like he’s being blackmailed, that makes me uncomfortable with Cruz as our nominee.

The first from the law of nations, which requires the child to be born to 2 citizen parents and on American land. The second under British Common Law, as seen in Blackstone’s commentaries, which, though it removes the requirement of being born in the US, transmits the ‘natural born’ status through the father, not the mother.
Hence why a couple of the liberal scholars keep saying ‘under an Originalist view, Cruz would not be eligible,’ because that’s exactly true. A renowned originalist constitutional scholar (frequently cited by the supreme court) even said the same thing: ‘Cruz is not eligible.’

AZ State Rep Calls For Constitutional Convention On Cruz Birth Issue
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3384579/posts
Further down I suggested a modest constitutional amendment [easier and, with rapid communications, possible with the speed of text networking ...]
Amend to have English-speaking parents with Canadian citizenship also help qualify natural born status. Why not? It’s not some radical Islamo-nut nation like Indonesia after all. Even Quebec is not so bad either.
Cruz should not turn too openly for such a process. It would make him look weak. But this is a good way to flush out who wants to use rules and process to disqualify him.
