It Begins Again: Now Trump Questions Rubio's Eligibility
MRCTV ^ | 22 Feb 16 | Jeff Dunetz

Posted on 02/22/2016 8:31:51 AM PST by elhombrelibre

And so it begins (again)...

When Ben Carson got a little to close to him in the polls, Donald Trump compared him to a child molester, and when Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) began to get close to him before the Iowa caucuses, Trump, the GOP leader in the presidential race, started suggesting that Cruz was not a natural born citizen. And, now that Marco Rubio seems to have picked up some momentum with a second place finish in South Carolina, Donald Trump has started to direct his ad hominem venom at the Florida senator.

It started with a tweet the morning of the S.C. primary:

Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama should be proof enough of the wisdom of the founders when they tried to prevent him from being President by requiring someone who could only be a US citizen and nothing else.
Born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because there is no other possibility.
One cannot be anything else and also be a natural born citizen.

Obama told us he was born a British Subject.

Who believes Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Jay, Monroe, Madison, etc. would have found him to be a natural born citizen?

From a pure strategery standpoint it’s smart.

Natural born citizen is an exclusionary term, meaning if one can be anything else, one cannot be a natural born citizen.
Born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because there is no other possibility.
Solely a US citizen.

Inherited citizenship from foreign national parents or foreign place of birth negates natural born citizen status.

If it’s a slam dunk that neither Cruz or Rubio aren’t eligible then why hasn’t Trump filed the suit he’s been threatening and take both of them out at once?

Were Rubio’s parents citizens when he was born? If not, then Trump has an excellent case for the claim. It is one that definitely requires a decision by the courts.

Hey, congrats on your appointment to the Supreme Court, and the simultaneous elimination of all the other Justices.

From now on a a humble (hah) Freeper named Lurkinanloomin is in charge of all interpretations of the US Constitution.

No, his parents were not citizens when he was born. It also raises questions whether Rubio actually has dual citizenship.

Trump is the master at creating doubt. It really doesn’t matter if Cruz or Rubio are eligible. It’s the doubt that counts. Trump plants seeds and watches them grow into yuge benstalks!

Time constraints. The winner will have been chosen by the end of next month.

The bench was the whole reason the GOP went along with the fig leaf resolution for McCain as cover for The Usurper.
The goal that both parties share is changing the Constitution without the hassle of amending it.
Confuse people about the clear meaning and intent of a three word phrase and voila, we make every anchor baby and Winston Churchill eligible.

The up and comers and future of the party, Jindal, Haley, Rubio, Cruz are all ineligible, as is Barry Soetoro.

Hillary will raise the issue, that is for sure.

Cure, send Rubio and Cruz back home.

310 million people and these 2 guys are the best we could get, they don’t have their warranty papers in order.

Actually, in that he is running against him, he should have standing, because he could be directly harmed if he were to lose the election to someone not eligible. General citizens however, do not have standing. This is where McCain screwed up against Obama. McCain could have brought suit, because he would have standing, but because of his own need to have Congress declare him eligible to run, he did not.

It takes that long to tell the attorney he claims to have looking into it to go file?
