I wanted Ted Cruz to be Donald Trump’s VP pick.

Cruz could not be VP, because Cruz is not eligible to be President.
You would have to be a Constitutionalist to understand what I said there.
You would have to be a lawyer to try to find some way that what I said is not true.
Thanks for standing with the Constitution.
Shame that there are so few that do.
You both suffer from CDS. There seems to be no hope for either of you to overcome it.
The Natural Born Citizen clause arises as an issue more than in the past, thanks to increases in transnational travel, employment and marriage. It’s apt to come up more in the future.
Better case law to settle its meaning is desirable. Many on the right have firm beliefs about it, but observation here tells me they don’t all have the exact same firm beliefs. I’d love a Supreme Court decision written by Justice Thomas explaining its meaning. The left wouldn’t like that, but then they oppose thinking about the Constitution, or even just thinking in general. Thomas can’t pick everyone’s theory, but he could explain his choice better than anyone else and HIS choice would be better accepted amongst those who favor an originalist constitution than any others. Those are the only ones who matter here IMHO! Cruz has issues, depending on one’s NBC take. At least the facts in his case, unlike Obama’s alleged fraud, are not in dispute, just which definition of NBC to apply is. It would be nice to definitively resolve Cruz’s case before he runs again or is considered for POTUS or VPOTUS again. Kamala Harris, a very possible Biden VP pick, has potential issues here. Maybe they’ll finally provide a case with standing. If Thomas threw out Harris Biden could always fall back on Tank Abrams.
