Yes he is. Neither of his parents were citizens when he was born

Of course it’s a “hit piece.” It hits your guy.

Ues, the American throw away society. Get rid of unwanted fetuses, the Constitution, dogs that are no longer cute little puppies, spouses you’ve grown tired of, the Bible that is too outdated, etc., etc.

That is the first thing that should be clarified.

The authors of the 14th were very clear on their intent of the 14th, Jacob Howard and John Bingham are very easy to research.

Bingham was very clear about illegals and their spawn in this country becoming citizens.

It's interesting reading, at least I think so.

Anyone watch Downton Abbby??? That was a reality.Marry American rich. Have a child in England. Those children would be Titled and would be eligible to be President.

The Dukes of Marlborough throughout the years have had to marry rich to try to save Blenheim Palace.

There is no case that can be made for getting roof the NBC requirement. It is about selecting Americans who most likely would be loyal to our country. They will be in control of our entire military and our entire federal system. Who would want divided loyalties in that job. Personally I’d make it 3rd generation Americans only.

Seems to me Trumpeters care about the Constitution as long as it suits their wants and needs. Trump is no constutional scholar and boy if it was a kid born in this country of illegal aliens and he was running for president, the screams of foul play would be defening, yet he would be a natural born citizen.
No one put up a stink like this about McCain. Did they? It’s just that Cruz is not their guy, so it’s trash Cruz time.
Boy, we sure know how to spit up crap. Don’t we?

Puhleeze. Someone who naturalizes has displayed a whole hell of a lot more loyalty to this country than some native-born whose loyalty has never been put to the test.

Why not settle once and for all, in court?
*************************************************************
Sounds good to me. The “Donald” has standing...when will he be proceeding?

My position and view (from post 50 above, to which you replied) was:

The ONLY damn thing “natural born citizen” means is that the person is an American citizen immediately upon their birth. And there is nothing the matter with THAT requirement and much good about it.

Don’t be so cynical. I remember this funny and nice moment when he actually hugged the flag. Despite what many of you Cruz supporters think, Trump loves America.
