Beandog: “ I accept the explanation from a true conservative constutionalist, Mark Levin”
I agree with Levin on many things but I disagree with him on his stand on NBC. He also believes that Obama meets the NBC requirement whereas I think there is evidence (if properly pursued) that would determine Obama ineligible.
I think there are enough people who differ on this judgment to make it important to resolve in some authoritative manner. You may be right that Cruz is qualified according to Constitutional law but I don’t think it is a slam dunk, without a doubt, point of fact. He certainly would not have been considered NBC in the year 1810 when citizenship was definitively determined by the nationality of the Father alone. That fact makes me skeptical whether he would be qualified today as well.
