Sen. Ted Cruz stumps in Iowa, fueling talk of 2024 White House bid

[corbe]

     I think it's a given that Sen Cruz won't get an Authorization out of the Senate like McCain or Romney did, and the waters have been so muddied with obummer AND now comealot, if anyone can make this possible, all the way to the USSC, my $$$ is on this Man.

   No one can ever accuse me of posting flattering pictures of Sen. Cruz @libertybele proving I and my candidate can take ridicule without proceeding to step #2:
  stepping on our dicks.

Sir.  (As I assume that a Sam Houston moniker is from a male patriot.)

Jus soli (right of the soil) is merely one detail of this saga.

Please allow me to bring to your attention, the key and specific issue.

I am sure that your will have no conflict with the words of our founders regarding eligibility for the Presidency of the United States (as evidenced in COTUS), that being the distinction of a Natural Born citizen of these United States of America, in opposition to the alternative, which can only be, due to the rigor and restraint of profound logic, a Naturalized citizen of the United States of America.

Mr. Theodore Cruz, properly annotated as Senator Cruz (whom I respect and cherish as a Senator from my great State of Texas, for all that he does each and almost every day in his chosen and elected role), can never be viewed as a Natural Born citizen of these United States of America, sadly.

I can provide a great deal of case law (and I will, as I am sure that you will demand it!), that clearly describes the differences between aNatural Born citizen of these United States of America, and a Naturalized citizen of the United States of America.  In short, a Naturalized citizen of the United States of America is a Citizen by Statute.  That is, the person's citizenship exists only and solely due to the existence of statute, of man-made law.  Contrast that to Natural Born citizenship.  That which exists without the presence of all laws (or statutes). 

Our glorious Senator Cruz, is only a citizen of the United States because of statutory law.  Without the existence of such law, he would no longer be a citizen of the Untied States of America.  (I can come back later and cite all of the relevant case law (e.g., Immigration Act of 195n which creates the naturalization process that covers Mr. Cruz), and the Supreme Court decisions that clearly illustrate the stark distinctions between Naturalized citizenship and Natural Born citizenship (though I suspect that you have already digested them!)).

Simply put, if the existence of one's citizenship requires and is based upon statutory law, then it is, by definition, not Natural Born citizenship.

Excellent.  Ted Cruz born in Canada.  I am a naturalized American citizen and still 'find' I have love of my original country.
That is the reason  FOUNDERS wanted someone BORN on this soil.  NO DIVIDED LOYALTY.  ONLY TO AMERICANS.

Even if that were true (it isn't) she STILL does not qualify to serve as vice president of the united states.

She IS a citizen because she was naturalized many years after her birth.

I way I remember about TED..his parents did not file a form, '4' something...to make him "legal" in America.

Evidence we have been totally stupid as a society, such that, we cannot even define who is qualified to serve as POTUS.  Really, this is a major weakness calling for correction.

I say no one gets elected to federal positions without having been born in the USA.  That includes Reps and senators from my view.  I just do not see how having folks like Ilhan Omar serve in Congress as representing the American citizens of her district.  Does not work for me.

We are indeed a stupid people!!!

She doesn't represent Americans in her district,or anywhere else. She was elected to represent the Muslim immigrants the Dims imported to destroy America.

That which matters most comes first. Hyphenated "Americans" are always putting something else ahead of "American".

One thing that escapes these turds, is that un-hyphenated Americans are the one's mostly funding this folly with their tax dollars.
