The ruling elite and criminal GOP grotesquely manipulate this fat and brain dead sheeple of this nation. They throw a few conservatively speaking shills a la Cruz or Rubio as though a BITE for the stupid sheeple, while this bite is DELIBERATELY designed unfit, to nullify the Constitutional DE FACTO!
In so doing, the rulers want to legitimize and cut in stone all these years of null and void governance under the UFO (Unidentified Foreign Operative) in the White House, while millions of idiots and morons of this fallen nation ELATE AND JUMP OF JOY continuing a campaign of SHREDDING THE CONSTITUTION!
WHAT A SHAME, WHAT A DISGRACE!

I believe the reason congress and the courts refuse to comment on Obama, is because they wanted to run one of their own that is not eligible,

Apparently all so called “Constitutional Experts” have become “Expert Liars”, completely denying there is an unmistakeable difference between citizen and “Natural Born” citizen. These are the same claimed experts pushing the lie that just being born on U.S. soil makes one a U.S. citizen via the 14th amendment, which in truth makes no such claim. It is only through their intentional misinterpretation, which can so easily be verified it should shame them to make such a claim.
I have typed out the facts so many times I am sick of it. It has become all to clear that this Country is overrun with traitors, foreign infiltrators, or people just to ignorant to care or look for the truth.
Those like rush limbaugh, and so many others I have listened to are the worst, the most guilty of all. Those that are in the most perfect of position to be heard, to declare the truth for all to hear. Yet they are the most cowardly of all. Not just for their silence of the truth, but for actually aiding in disseminating the lies.They are as traitorous as the congress, the senate, the courts, and the media they pretend to denigrate.

What would happen if Cruz progresses with his campaign, then later steps down and says he is not eligible, and neither is Obama, for the same reasons?
March 24th, 2015 @ 5:02 am
this will never happen. Crus spends a fortune on the campaign, he will not step down

Because the Constitution no longer Stands for Anything, May I Suggest that Bibi Netanyahu Run For President of The USA… He DID Get His Education Here, AND He IS A Conservative.
I guess it just doesn’t Matter Anymore.

Cruz’s mother is American but not his father. How is this any different than Obama’s mother being American but not his father? We cannot say one is ineligible but not the other if citizenship goes with the father’s side?

The correct spelling for Mr. Cruz is Lawer.
March 24th, 2015 @ 11:50 am
I’d rather have a Canadian as president rather than a Kenyan.

I trust Cruz’s team along his attorneys will clear any confusion people might still have if he decides to run.
And, in case you didn’t know. Ted Cruz has renounced his Canadian citizenship.
Ted Cruz Renounces Newly Discovered Canadian Citizenship

Unlike Obama. “”When one parent was a U.S. citizen and the other a foreign national, the U.S. citizen parent must have resided in the U.S. for a total of 10 years prior to birth of the child with FIVE of the years after the age of 14.” Stanley Ann Dunham did not meet requisite status according to blog discovery. One commenter said, “She was not old enough to register Obama’s birth in Hawaii or anywhere else in the U.S. as a Natural Born Citizen as she did not meet the residency requirements! Backing this statement up, another commenter reiterates:” The law specifically outlines the requirements for a CITIZEN mother to confer citizenship to her baby. Ann Dunham was NOT old enough-case closed!””

There is a lot of comment regarding Ted Cruz being born in Calgary in Canada.
It is simple. Anyone born in Foreign County is a natural born citizen of that country and a Automatic Naturalized citizen of the United States depending on Citizenship of parents at time of birth. No counting father because he definitely was not a citizen at time at time of birth of Ted. But counting Eleanor Elisabeth Darragh who is supposed to be mother and supposedly was a U.S. Citizen at time of birth Ted would be an Automatic naturalized citizen of The United States. This status comes from the 1940 Naturalization Law and is nothing new. Again in this case Ted would be a
Automatic naturalized Citizen not a natural born citizen because his birth was outside the United States. However this case depends on proving status of mother as being at least a citizen of the USA at birth of Ted which I do not think anyone has proved yet.
Take the case of all the children born in Germany from 1945 + 60 years who were born to service members and their wives and probably totaled 1 million. Each child received a German birth certificate and Automatic Naturalization Certificate. They were not Natural born citizens of the USA but were natural born Citizens of Germany.
Ted is supposed to be an extremely smart lawyer
and should know the subject backwards and forward and extremely well.

Mother of Ted is listed in 1940 census in Delaware at 5 years of age and record states Delware birth for parents Elisabeth and sister.
will try to add to site with Calgary birth of Ted.

There is a birth Certificate for Ted in Calgery
which means he is not a natural born citizen of the United States. See part of constitution which follows.
Clause 5: Qualifications for office
Beginning of the clause in the 1787 document
Section 1 of Article Two of the United States Constitution sets forth the eligibility requirements for serving as president of the United States:
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.
See also: Natural-born citizen and President of the United States
By the time of their inauguration, the President and Vice President must be:
natural born citizens
at least 35 years old
inhabitants of the United States for at least fourteen years.
August 13th, 2015 @ 6:25 pm
Note the wording of Constitution above:
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 the President. Any citizen at the time of the adoption of the Constitution would be around 228 years old today and naturally deceased. Therefore, only natural born citizen are eligible in today’s time span unless she or he is natural born citizen.
This language is very plain. No citizens alive at time of adoption of Constitution are alive today or at anytime in at least past 150 years or so.
