you do know the difference between "Hope" and "want" correct?
wait if a candidate was found out not to be born on US soil, would of invalidate a past election, show us the laws where paying a foreign source to hack would invalidate an election?
.
Well, first off, Obama was born in Hawaii, not Kenya as some of the idiot conservatives claim. And, even if he had been born in Kenya, his mother was a U.S. citizen, and he would have been considered a dual citizen like Cruz was.
As far as allowing foreign governments to mess in our elections?
Foreign nationals - FEC.gov
The Act and Commission regulations include a broad prohibition on foreign national activity in connection with elections in the United States. 52 U.S.C. § 30121 and generally, 11 CFR 110.20. In general, foreign nationals are prohibited from the following activities:
- Making any contribution or donation of money or other thing of value, or making any expenditure, independent expenditure, or disbursement in connection with any federal, state or local election in the United States;
- Making any contribution or donation to any committee or organization of any national, state, district, or local political party (including donations to a party nonfederal account or office building account);
- Making any disbursement for an electioneering communication;
- Making any donation to a presidential inaugural committee.
Persons who knowingly and willfully engage in these activities may be subject to an FEC enforcement action, criminal prosecution, or both.
Once again Obama and Cruz would of gone against the fucking constitution.........the supreme court would of had to rule on both of your scenarios............
2. what does that have to do with your opinion that you pulled from your ass that it would of nullified the last election?
.
If you are born abroad to US parents, you are considered a full US citizen born abroad of US parents. Cruz falls under that, as he was born in Canada, but is still considered a citizen and eligible to run for president. Obama didn't have that problem though, because he was born in Hawaii.
And no, I didn't pull that out of my ass as you claim, because it's a US government site concerning elections. Foreign people and countries are forbidden from giving anything of value to campaigns in this country, and a computer hack or attack is something that would be considered to have value, as computer time and techs can be expensive.
bullshit, take McCain he was eligible because he was born on US soil at the time in Panama....
Presidential Eligibility
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.
ARTICLE II, SECTION 1, CLAUSE 5
.
Natural born citizen
T
oday, 8 U.S.C. § 1101 defines naturalization as “conferring of nationality of a state upon a person after birth, by any means whatsoever.” In contrast, § 1401 lists eight categories of peoples who are "nationals and citizens of the United States at birth," including those born in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction, as well as children of one or more U.S. citizens abroad as long as the parent(s) meet certain requirements. This means that foreign-born citizens falling under a provision in 1401 are, by statutory definition, not naturalized. The term "natural born" is not used, however.
Children born abroad of US citizens are also considered "natural born".
Not for fucking president... let me guess you agree with assnine CNN
Why Cruz is eligible to be president - CNN
(CNN)I do not embrace Ted Cruz politically, but I do embrace his right to run for president, and so should you.
Here is our first question: Who decides whether Cruz is eligible? My answer: At first, you do. We, the people, do. We do this on Election Day when we cast our ballots with the Constitution in our hearts and minds if not in our hands. If you think Cruz is ineligible — if what I say here does not persuade you — you can vote against him.
If Cruz gets enough electoral votes this fall, then Congress and not the Supreme Court should be the final legal judge of Cruz's eligibility. The Constitution's 12th Amendment clearly says that Congress counts the electoral votes at a special session; and thus Congress is constitutionally authorized to refuse to count any electoral votes that Congress considers invalid.
Elsewhere, Article I, section 5 of the Constitution makes clear that each house of Congress may "judge" whether a would-be member of that house meets the constitutional eligibility rules for that house. Suppose Mr. Smith wants to go to Washington as a senator. He wins election in his home state. But the Constitution says a senator must be 30 years old.
If a dispute arises about Smith's age, about whether there a proper birth certificate and what it says, the Constitution clearly says the Senate is "the judge" of Smith's birth certificate dispute.
Similarly, for presidential elections the Constitution's structure makes Congress the judge of any birth certificate dispute or any other issue of presidential eligibility. Congress cannot fabricate new presidential eligibility rules but it is the judge of the eligibility rules prescribed in the Constitution.
Thus, ordinary courts should butt out, now and forever. They have no proper role here, because the Constitution itself makes Congress the special judge. In legal jargon, the issue is a "nonjusticiable political question."
Ordinary courts should butt out, now and forever.
Presidents should pick judges, not vice versa. This is one reason why the Supreme Court's 2000 ruling in Bush v. Gore was a disgrace and is now widely viewed by experts as such.
