Natural born citizen
Naturally a US citizen because one cannot be anything else.
Born here of citizen parents.
Obama is not a natural born citizen. He was born with foreign nationality from his foreign national father.
Same with Cruz, Rubio, Jindal and Haley.
Apparently there is no controlling legal authority.
Anybody can run.
That is correct! There is relevant precedent that, if applied, would reach a conclusion. But precedent is not controlling when it isn't applied.
There is also no controlling legal authority for violation of the Espionage Act by a Secretary of State; or running guns if you are in the BATFE, and so on.
At least that's the story, as we've been led to believe...and which conflicts with even his own "facts".
Some say he's an imposter, working with a birth certificate his father purchased from the original Barak Obama.
Others say he's not the same Barak Obama we started out with in 2008, and the original is since deceased.
Whatever! We actually have no idea who he really is.
Nope, that is incorrect. Naturally as in never needing, or ever was naturalized. Sen Cruz was born a US Citizen, he has always been and US Citizen and has never needed to be naturalized. He is a natural born citizen.
Reference ping, thank you.
