“Natural born citizen means born here of citizen parents.
No foreign parents.
No foreign births.
No other citizenship possible.â€
“You do realize by this standard, that Trump isn’t qualified either as his mother was born in Scotland.”
That comment is totally and utterly false. Trump’s mother was born in Scotland as a British citizen, and she renounced her British citizenship at the time she completed her application and oath to naturalize as a U.S. citizen before the birth of Donald Trump. He was born in the jurisdiction of the United States with tow parents who were U.S. citizens at the time of his birth. Consequently, he was a natural born citizen of the United States. Ted Cruz committed a truly heinous act when he claimed at the last debate that the definition being used by his opponents was a requirement for both parents to be NATURAL BORN U.S. citizens in order for the child to also be a natural born citizen. That was a cynical and deliberate attempt to use this false statement of his as a strawman argument to make his opponents look unreasonable to an audience unacquainted with the subject. It was a very slick and corrupt lawyer’s deceit. It is remarkable that people who claim to treasure conservative a religious moral values have not made Ted Cruz accountable for this glaring lie and deceit designed to mislead the voters and ridicule critics.
“Now in reality, if you are born out of country to a US citizen who meets age and previous residency requirements (as Cruz’s mom did) the child is a citizen at birth thus considered a “Natural born citizen.” totally and utterly wrong, because the naturalization Act of 1952 he used to acquire U.S. citizenship made him a naturalized U.S. citizen. Ted Cruz is a naturalized U.S. citizen, and no naturalization citizen can be a natural born citizen. In fact, Ted Cruz is not a natural born citizen of any nation; because he is a native born citizen of Canada, was eligible as a naturalized citizen of Cuba, and is a U.S. citizen naturalized at birth by the U.S. Naturalization Act of 1952.
I was responding to what he wrote which was (in part) “No Foreign Parents” Yes Trump’s mother was Naturalized but she was still a foreigner as she was born in another country.
I believe that Trump, Cruz and Rubio are all NBC. As I disagree with your interpretation of NBC. We’ll just have to agree to disagree.
