ted cruz burned by the fires he stoked, birther style.

[bodecea]

If it keeps him from becoming president and beating Trump I could care less!

i'd like to see him as vice president or as secretary of war.

If he is ineligible for President, he is ineligible for Vice President.

Ted Cruz gets burned by the birther fires he stoked

built a fire under his own ass, heh, politicians do that. there would be enough time for the supremes to define natural born, they are a cycle late and an election short.

rubio's parents weren't citizens at the time of his birth, but we have the same birthday, so that makes him eligible.




When you dance with the devil, the choreography can get awkward.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) last week made his latest appeal to the U.S. nativist fringe by naming Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) as a national co-chairman of his presidential campaign. King, called a “courageous conservative” and “incredible leader” by Cruz, is the anti-immigrant hard-liner who spoke of Mexican immigrants having “calves the size of cantaloupes” and who was a prominent birther.

LOL!! Your OP is a non-starter. He has put his Mom's birth certificate out there. He is a citizen.

HE has to be a natural born citizen. Not his MOTHER.

lmao...

That is totally stupid. Any child born in another country to an American citizen is considered an American citizen because of the citizenship of one or more of his/her parents. Were that not the case, the children of military personnel living off base, the children of American workers working in other countries, the children of government employees serving in other countries, etc., who are born in those countries where their parents are living and working would not be considered American citizens either.

you know, the court has never ruled on that. if it was only about being a "citizen", the constitution wouldn't use the term "natural born citizen" in setting out the requirements for the presidency.

or were the founding fathers just kidding?

your refusal to acknowledge that does not make the question "stupid". it makes you ignorant.

Zzzzz.

Mom was a U.S. citizen when the lad was born.

HE is therefore, at birth, a U.S. citizen.

There is no "there" there.

This is neither a real story nor even A story.

What's the problem?

According to U.S. Federal law, Cruz is a natural born citizen.

If he has one parent who is a US citizen, even if Ted Cruz was born outside the country (he was born in Canada), he is a citizen by birth. Provided his mother (who was the US citizen) spent the right amount of time in the US prior to his birth, as she did.

Looks like the liberals are getting more and more desperate. Now they're making up imaginary "accusations" and hurling them everywhere they can, facts and law be damned.

--------------------------------------------
From the U.S. Dept. of State, Dept. of Consular Affairs:

Acquisition of U.S. Citizenship by a Child Born Abroad

For persons born between December 24, 1952 and November 14, 1986, a person is a U.S. citizen if all of the following are true:

1. The person's parents were married at the time of birth
2. One of the person's parents was a U.S. citizen when the person was born
3. The citizen parent lived at least ten years in the United States before the child's birth;
4. A minimum of 5 of these 10 years in the United States were after the citizen parent's 14th birthday.

So you admit that Trump is a liberal, since he's the one bringing this up.

poor dear. no one is saying he isn't a citizen. but thanks.

the question for the COURT (not you) is whether being a "NATURAL BORN CITIZEN" is the same as just being a citizen. and if it is, why the extra language.

or does the right now want to ignore the language like they do "well regulated militia" in the 2nd?

Oh! Now I get it. Natural born. Well the medical term is that it is one who was not born of a C - Section. We'll really have to check on that to see if he was.

The term 'statutory citizen' isn't part of our law, nor mentioned anywhere in the constitution. Making it irrelevant to this discussion. As its meaningless term in our law.
