Is Ted Cruz a 'natural born Citizen'? Not if you're a constitutional originalist.

Under Ted Cruz's own logic, he's ineligible for the White House

[DannyTN]

Not as good as a court ruling.
Does the board of election even have a background in law?

We need a court ruling first. Then put in place processes that automatically check eligibility.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Well, there you go, every anchor baby and Winston Churchill is eligible.

[diamond6]

NO.

I was just responding to the Trumpbots.

I like the slogan, and I like this post! :-)

CRUZ OR LOSE!

[Outlaw76]

It wasn't heard by the SCOTUS in the last eight years.
It won't be heard by the SCOTUS in the next eight years.

Conservative, Showman, or Rino.

Those are your choices.

[C210N]

The left will bring up the issue again during the campaign.

I'm game, I'll vote for the candidate that the left will have absolutely no issues with. Now, which one (or ones, if I have a choice) are you recommending?

[lonestar67]

I’m sue trump supporters are relieved to discover this. /s

[diamond6]

“The left will bring up the issue again during the campaign.”

Let them.

Are you going to weenie out, because you’re afraid of an illegitimate issue being presented?

So, this ridiculous issue is a reason to vote for Trump?

[Just mythoughts]

Your stupid uneducated spam will never make Cruz natural born.

I have known longer than since Cruz took his first breath on Canadian soil what the ‘original intent’ of the founding fathers meant when they specifically used the words ‘natural born’.

I was born on German soil, to two American citizens, and I am NOT natural born. Take your stupid spam and stuff it!!!

[diamond6]

Are you a constitutional attorney?

Didn’t think so.

I’d like to hear from somebody who is.

Whoever here is trying to dispense legal advice without a license is committing the crime of practicing law without a license.

[butterdezillion]

It wasn’t heard by SCOTUS because 2008 was a coup. Those who the courts would have to acknowledge as having “standing” were threatened out of pursuing it.

Long, long story.

[Just mythoughts]

I pinged an awesome attorney who also is a wonderful teacher...ask away

[bushpilot2]

Cruz supporters claim Ted Cruz mom never petitioned US Consulate. 'There's no requirement.' "Ted Cruz does not need Certificate Birth Abroad" What was Ted Cruz proof US citizenship for the US passport?

[butterdezillion]

Taking the checks and balances seriously does NOT make a person a fool. Somebody saying that Congress passing a law settles its Constitutionality is a fool.

[diamond6]

I’m talking about a constitutional attorney.

I’m an attorney, too, by the way.

[CPT Clay]

I guess that settles it.

[Just mythoughts]

I gave No legal advise... I stated what I learned when I took the Constitution exam way back when.

[BuckeyeTexan]

Congress passed a non-binding resolution declaring that John McCain was eligible. It was a signal to the courts about their position on the matter, but it didn’t legally resolve anything.

Yes, I believe Cruz is eligible.

[RummyChick]

Quite a few Royals have American mothers.

[diamond6]

That was tongue in cheek. :-)
