There are several resident status classifications in the United States: natural born citizen, naturalized citizen, diplomatic immunity, temporary resident (on a visa), lawful permanent resident (green card holder), and illegal alien. Ted Cruz isn't the child of diplomats, and he was never naturalized as a citizen.
So either he is an illegal alien or a natural born citizen. There is no middle ground. If you don't believe he is a natural born citizen, then you believe there is an illegal alien serving in the U.S. Senate. There is no middle ground. You should immediately call for his deportation.
The Constitution gives explicit power to the Congress to determine citizenship and border enforcement. Since the Constitution never defines explicitly what natural born citizen means, that means beginning with the 1790 Naturalization Act Congress has been defining it — which the Constitution gives Congress the power to do.

And you are the fool who keeps showing up in these types of threads just to mock other people.
The person to whom nobody should listen is you.

“Cruz is utterly ineligible.”
Don’t you find it a little strange that no one has knocked him off of a state ballot? If it is so obvious, why is he on any ballot?
> And when you show them to me I’ll be concerned they’re forged
Don’t be boarish.
Trump stole your lamp.
Why is "Gay Marriage" legal? Because our modern courts are stupid, ignorant, and active.
I'm not arguing about what the courts will say. That ship of fools sailed a long time ago. I'm talking about real, common sense understanding of the issue.
I am a Cruz supporter. I think he will make the best President of all the choices we have.
I believe the courts will declare him "eligible." But this does not make them correct. I perceive them now as having become so ridiculous, that they don't even understand their own nonsense based legal arguments.

According to this, there seems to be some question about the citizenship of his mother. hmmmmmm
You don't make any sense even when you do say something.
Steve Deace is an idiot.
If he actually knew anything about this, he'd know that Ted Cruz qualified as naturalised from birth under then-existing US immigration law. Naturalisation isn't just a process someone goes through when they "take the oath." Children can be naturalised from birth - as Ted Cruz was - when their parents fulfill certain criteria. These children are legally considered to be "naturalised."
Willfully ignorant or propagandist
I don't find it a bit strange.
The fact is, the decisions in PA and NJ were entirely political. There is no state judge who is going to overturn the apple cart by declaring a leading presidential contender ineligible this late in the primary season, regardless of the facts or merits of the case. No judge is going to put him or herself into that kind of position where they suddenly become the most hated person in America, and become the centre of a legal firestorm that would most certainly end in their credibility being damaged one way or another. Not going to happen. Frankly, Ted Cruz could have been born in Canada of two illegal immigrant Cuban parents, and these judges would still have managed to find him "eligible" on some basis or another.
That's why it's up to We the People to know the English common law history behind natural born citizenship well enough to recognise for ourselves that he isn't eligible, and vote accordingly.
Lincoln’s lawlessness, such as it was, did not long survive him, which is a huge difference. Nor did he advance true Arbitrary government as the progressives most certainly have done. The Republic still operated on the basis of the actual Constitution after Lincoln.
Lincoln’s misdeeds, though sometimes serious, simply do not compare to FDR’s.
I’d be willing to bet if we could see the records, he was solely a Canadian citizen until 1986 when he wanted a driver’s license and a passport. That no paperwork was filed with the US government that he even existed until then.
He was still a Canadian until very recently.
One cannot be anything else and a natural born citizen.
Multiple citizenships precludes natural born citizen status.
great tip
Take it to heart.
Here is something else to take to heart:

Off topic. You are a boar.
Nowhere in Senate Resolution 511 does it say that two U.S. Citizen parents are REQUIRED. The non-binding senate resolution merely acknowledges the fact that both of John McCain’s parents were U.S. citizens at the tine of his birth in the Panama Canal Zone.
The exact wording: “Whereas John Sidney McCain, III, was born to American citizens on an American military base in the Panama Canal Zone in 1936: Now, therefore, be it:
That John Sidney McCain, III, is a natural born Citizen under Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United States.”
If such a resolution is ever needed for Senator Cruz, a bi-partisan group of senators will co-sponsor it.
“But both weren’t born in the U.S.”
Both parents have to be U.S. citizens at the time of the child’s birth in the jurisdiction of the Article III courts of the United States to qualify as a natural born citizen of the United States. There is no requirement and can never possibly be a requirement for the parents and their parents to be natural born citizens themselves in an unbroken string back into time. At some point back in time there had to be one or both parents who were naturalized as citizens in order to be citizens when the child was born. Trump’s parents wee both U.S. citizens when he was born, and the fact his mother was a naturalized citizen is not relevant to that determination of Donald Trump being a natural born citizen.
Paternally, eh? There's a chance that might have flown in 1716, but not in 2016!
