And "would most likely include" isn't definitive no matter how badly you seem to think it is. This is like the 5th time now that all you have done is re-post the same stupid fucking claim.I agreeThe only way the issue can be settled once and for all is through a Supreme Court ruling brought about by a lower court ruling or action of congress. Otherwise, the qualification of any presidential candidate born outside the US will be in doubt by many.
Yes, and the specific CRS report is pretty much neutral as it gives both a broad view and a narrow view and concludes with it is unclear that a situation like Cruz’s has been settled definitively.The CRS is much like the CBO, an advisor to congress. The CBO provides information on budgetary matters and the CRS on legal.
'pretty much neutral'?
The report concludes that, “the weight of more recent federal cases, as well as the majority of scholarship on the subject, also indicate that the term ‘natural born citizen’ would most likely include, as well as those native born citizens born in the U.S., those born abroad to U.S. citizen-parents, at least one of whom had previously resided in the United States, or those born abroad to one U.S. citizen parent who, prior to the birth, had met the requirements of federal law for physical presence in the country.”
