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.
rubio was born here. it doesn't matter where his parents were born. therefore he is a natural born citizen.
president obama was born here and therefore it doesn't matter where his father was born. he is a natural born citizen.
mccain was born in panama, but on a military base during his father's military service. that is considered american territory and he is a natural born citizen of the united states.
cruz was born in canada. pointing out that he may not be qualified to be president regardless of his mother's citizenship is not being a birfer.
it is addressing the law and the requirements of the constitution. personally, i don't think he's a natural born citizen, but that is clearly going to be left to the SCOTUS
