   Cruz was born in Canada to a cuban father and lived there for several years. Not eligible to be pres or vp.

   Here’s my problem with Cruz, Rubio and Jindal: They are all Naturalized Citizen of the US, at best; maybe, they are not Natural Born Citizens of the US. Their birth citizenship follows their father’s, not the mother’s in the case of Cruz. Cruz, born in Canada, his father’s citizenship was Cuban, his mother’s citizenship is US; in the case of Rubio, born his father’s citizenship was Cuban as was his mother’s, and in the case of Jindal, born his father’s citizenship was Indian as was his mother’s; the Law of Nations explains this very well and it’s in the 1st volume of Vattel’s Law of Nations… So why do they feel they are eligible for POTUS when they clearly know they are not?
   Because Obama refused to show is birth certificate and got elected does our Constitution become irrelevant for all future elections?
   Are they simply self-serving their ego? Are they misleading the people who support them? Are they really Progressives trying to hide in Conservative clothes?
   The key to this issue, in my opinion, is in the first sentence of Amendment XIV: “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof”; jurisdiction can only apply if one has legal standing to be in our nation. Illegal aliens have no standing and therefore not subject to US jurisdiction since they are here illegally. Therefore, any off springs born of them is also illegal when born here. This reason that foreign diplomat’s, who are posted here, children born to them here are not US citizens by birth since these diplomats are not subject to US jurisdiction.
   Senator Jason M Howard (1866) the author of the 14th Amendment explained this is his published writing and state:
   Amendment XIV
   Section I.
   All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any per­ son within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
   The Fourteenth Amendment was ratified July 9, 1868.

   The Fourteenth Amendment was ratified July 9, 1868.
   Senator Jacob M Howard (MI) 1866 author of the 14th Amendment wrote:
   I have offered is simply declaratory of what I regard as the law of the land already, that every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by the virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons.
   Our Founding Father used the Law of Nation as a reference source when forming our nation and drafting our Constitution and therefore the Law of Nations more definitively describes the requirement referred to in Article II of our Constitution, read this from Volume One:
   §212. Citizens and natives.
   “The citizens are the members of the civil society: bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to [218] all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see, whether, on their coming to the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.”
