And they don’t give a damn about what our Founding Fathers wrote ... in the Constitution, or our elected officials wrote in our Federal Laws that followed.

Oh, but they do.

The Founding Fathers didn't write the Federal statutes that you cited, but they did write the Preamble that I cited.

In fact, as I posted many times previously, Founding Father Thomas Paine wrote in 1791 that the President must "must be a native of the country," and he is in contrast to the rulers of England who are "often a foreigner; always half a foreigner, and always married to a foreigner. He is never in full natural or political connection with the country."

So the questions that Paine put to We the People of 1791 were: l) what is a "native of the country?" 2) what is "half a foreigner?" 3) What does "full natural or political connection with the country" mean?

If we ask Thomas Paine's questions of Ted Cruz, l) is he a native of the United States, 2) Is he half a foreigner, 3) Does he have a "full natural or political connection with the country," what would the answers be?

These are the words of a Founding Father, two years after the ratification of the Constitution, not federal statutes written by lawmakers hundreds of years later.

...or our elected officials wrote in our Federal Laws that followed.

Like ObamaCare, TARP, continuing resolutions...

Federal Laws are not Supreme Law of the Land, but any "Thing in the Constitution" is. "Natural born citizen" is a "thing" in the Constitution, as is the Preamble that frames it as "securing the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity." The people understand what is necessary to secure their liberty for themselves and their children, which is why they elected Donald Trump.
