LOL! A blog post by Grayson himself, confirmed liar, on HuffPo. No wonder you're such a big fucking fail, Hairboy.
The HUUUGE irony here is that Cruz claims to be a "constitutional conservative" presumably one that follows original intent....and the original intent is clear.....born in one of the United States.
Even if you go back to British law at the time the Constitution was written (we were rejecting British law weren't we?) it was the citizenship of the FATHER that mattered, not the mother........
so Cruz doesnt really have a leg to stand on....he is ineligible for office and I praise Grayson for being willing to go to court over this.
Where does the Constitution define "natural born citizen"? Yeah, nowhere. You pulled that out of your ass.
The Constitution doesn't need to define the term... as it define's itself. A natural born citizen is:
a citizen whose citizenship is a natural consequence of their birth.
Now... what is the SINGULAR circumstance wherein the birth of an individual axiomatically results in citizenship, without further need for qualification, and which sets above all of scrutiny? That is where the birth is a consequence of the joining of TWO CITIZENS in good standing.
Like my parents, and likely your parents and 99.999999999999999% of US citizens. Where both parents are loyal American Citizens, who have long lived in the US, who were educated here, trained up on American principle, live their lives within American traditions and heritage.
Meaning that it doesn't matter if the child was born somewhere else... as who gives a fuck where the child was born, if the child was born to two Americans who happened to be on the road at the time the child was born? What possible relevance could that have on anything?
not sure where you're coming from here......Cruz's parents weren't "on the road" in fact Cruzes Dad once fought for Castro as I understand it.
Location of birth is irrelevant to being a
natural born citizen.
Constitutionally.... Cruz is disqualified from office.
I'm on record throughout this board stating this at the outset of his campaign. I wrote to the Senator and told him as much and as expected... he ignored my advice and that of others expressing the same sentiment.
That said... while I am going to vote for Doctor Ben Carson in the Primary, I support Senator Cruz as a candidate... on the basis that the practical precedent has been altered and for all intents and purposes, there is no standard in play in any US institution anywhere, at any level for any reason, including candidates for the office of the Presidency... and should Cruz prevail in being nominated, I will vote for him.
In a stunning irony, while being constitutionally disqualified from office, Cruz is among the finest human beings and certainly among the sharpest minds to ever overtly seek the officer.
Perhaps... just perhaps, he'll win office and go about the unenviable work of culling the nation of the subversives present in the citizenry, from the citizenry and openly reinstate the constitutional standard, going forward.
