OT- How Ignorant is Ted Cruz?

-
Ted Cruz is a GOP candidate for President is the USA. Unfortunately for Ted he was born in Canada and his parents were Canadian citizens. Yes, his mother was born in the USA but moved north and became a Canadian citizen of her own choosing.

What does that mean? It means he can never be President or VP.

And yet he presses on. Is he really that ignorant? If he is then he doesn't deserve to be President regardless of the law.

Sorry, Ted, time to step aside and realize you have already reached the pinnacle of your political career.

    No, what? Still too afraid to try to actually make a case, I see.

    Yes, both of his parents were Canadian citizens. Yes he was born in Canada, the son of Canadian citizens. Yes, his mother became a Canadian citizen of her own choosing.

    No, his mother was not a tourist visiting Canada. No, his mother was not in the military stationed in Canada.

    Did the little cupcake have a point, besides the one on its head?

    His mother is American, and still is. She never renounced it. So She, ad her Children, are American:

    I never said she renounced anything. And Canadians are American too- look at a map of North AMERICA.

    But anyway the Courts will decide.

    As you change your blog after the fact, a better title would be "OT- How Ignorant is 'Chubby Cupcake' Joe Gallien?"

    Whoopsie, cupcake:

    Other experts, however, have said it's not so clear cut. Professor Laurence Tribe of Harvard noted that, when the Constitution was written, citizenship passed through the father.

    "Having just an American mother, as Cruz did, would clearly have been insufficient."

    From your article:

    "The emerging consensus of the legal experts, however, is that being "natural born" means becoming a citizen at the moment of birth, as opposed to achieving it later through the process of naturalization."

    Whoopsie cupcake.

    Just ignore what I posted and prattle on like a cupcake, cupcake.

    Other experts, however, have said it's not so clear cut. Professor Laurence Tribe of Harvard noted that, when the Constitution was written, citizenship passed through the father.

    That means Ted Cruz was a naturally born Cuban, according to the Constitution.

    Hey at least US politics show is entertaining. In Canada's politicians wear pink tutus and throw marshmallows at each other when they fight or compete in reciting transgender manifesto.

    Enjoy!

    "No Person except a Natural Born Citizen…shall be eligible to the Office of President...." US Constitution: Article 2, section 1, Clause 5

    "...the term ‘natural born citizen’ is used and excludes all persons owing allegiance by birth to foreign states.” The New Englander and Yale Law Review, Volume 3 (1845), p. 414
