Question about Ted Cruz

[Gracie]

okey dokey then. My bad that thinking all this birther crap had substance. So anyone born anywhere can be POTUS? Alrighty then!

If he has an american mom.

Really.

The Natural Born Citizen Clause.

Ted Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, he's not a natural born United States citizen. His mother is American, his father a Cuban immigrant at the time of Ted's birth. This parentage doesn't matter, what matters is that Cruz was born outside of the United States and not on US soil or somewhere considered US soil, such an a military base etc.

Cruz only ceased to be a Canadian citizen on May 14th, 2014.

I know that Senators, Congresspeople and Governor's can be non-United States born. However for the office of President and Vice-President only United States born people are eligible.

So the question is, how is Cruz being allowed to run for President?

Yes, it's time for you Liberal uneducated and low information folks to begin your smear campaign against Ted now that he is leading in a couple of the polls. That is what you loons do, smear attack whoever in the opposition party is the current leader. You are so predictable and so damned pathetic.

Doesn't matter if he is leading anything. If he is not born in the USA, HE CANNOT RUN FOR POTUS. Period.

If he is not born in the USA, HE CANNOT RUN FOR POTUS. Period.

Wrong. Exclamation point!

okey dokey then. My bad that thinking all this birther crap had substance. So anyone born anywhere can be POTUS? Alrighty then!

So anyone born anywhere can be POTUS?

You'd have to look at the Constitution.

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

Is this theoretical, "anyone born anywhere" a natural born Citizen? Do they meet the other requirements?

Another stupid, waste-of-time thread by RWNJ's who haven't the capacity to learn. The law is very clear on eligibility and Ted Cruz is most certainly a natural born citizen. The qualifications have nothing to do with the geography of where he was born, but everything to do with whether his mother met a very clear qualification.

Ted Cruz qualified as a "natural born citizen" from birth because his mother resided in America for at least 10 years of her life leading up to his birth, and with at least 5 of those years coming after the age of 14.

I understand why he gave up the dual citizenship granted him by the Canadians, but I don't think I could have ever done that, if only for travel purposes alone. My mother kept hers and she breezes through customs, coming and going, even though she's 100% American.

and the Answer seems to be that the oligarchs that run this country dont give a damn about the Constitution. I think by any common sense reading of the constitution the man shouldnt be allowed to run.

In another thread a Congressperson Grayson has promised to sue if he gets the republican nomination.

Harvard Law Review Forum
On the Meaning of “Natural Born Citizen”

[SNIP]There are plenty of serious issues to debate in the upcoming presidential election cycle. The less time spent dealing with specious objections to candidate eligibility, the better. Fortunately, the Constitution is refreshingly clear on these eligibility issues. To serve, an individual must be at least thirty-five years old and a “natural born Citizen.” Thirty-four and a half is not enough and, for better or worse, a naturalized citizen cannot serve. But as Congress has recognized since the Founding, a person born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent is generally a U.S. citizen from birth with no need for naturalization. And the phrase “natural born Citizen” in the Constitution encompasses all such citizens from birth. Thus, an individual born to a U.S. citizen parent — whether in California or Canada or the Canal Zone( Anyone remember that idiot Republican candidate Juan McLame?) — is a U.S. citizen from birth and is fully eligible to serve as President if the people so choose.[/SNIP]

On the Meaning of “Natural Born Citizen”

too many words...can you just post a meme?

the fact that the above drivel from the Harvard law review has to use "generally" shows its true colors.
Congress could not change presidential eligibility whether it wanted to or not.

I am glad at least one man in our corrupt establishment is willing to stand up for the Constitution. Ironic as hell that the "Constitutional conservative" Cruz has to go into legal "nuance" [read as lying Bull shit] to justify his position.

Congress clarified the Constitution since 8 of the first Presidents were not US citizens when they were born, or was their mother or father.
