Senator Ted Cruz just announced he is running for President. He was born in Canada.
Don't you have to be physically born in the United States to be President?

You have to be a natural born citizen and since his Mom was American he is but will give them something to debate on the news channels for a few months since it's a year and half away from the election...lolLooking for Opportunity!

I get that. But doesn't that make the entire Obama Birther Movement invalid? Let's just say Obama was not born in the US.... Even if that was true his mother was American, which meant Obama boy would have been entitled to US citizenship at birth which.... Means Obama would have qualified for US President no matter what.
I'm sorry, I think a natural born citizen means you are physically born in the United States. Not in Canada, and not on a military base in a Panama.Herschel Savage

"be a natural born U.S. citizen. Someone may be born abroad, but only if both parents were citizens of the United States. The only exception to this was for those around at the time the Constitution was adopted. Their requirement was that they had to be a citizen when the Constitution was adopted."Comment

Had the same conversation when McCain ranCarbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants

And I still feel the same exact way. I believe that unless you were physically born in the United States, you cannot be president of the United States.
Here's why.... Imagine some day we can legally have someone born in Iran or Turkey or some other country, have them be raised their entire life in another country, and still became President of the United States. I think that's wrong.Herschel Savage

The source I first quoted said "both" parents
What are the Requirements to Become US President?
The below source says "one parent"

cruz is a radical right wing fascist who was born in kanada, went to harvard and has spent his entire life working in government.
typical gop, anti-gov freeloading phonyComment

"one must live in the United States for at least 14 years to be president, in addition to being a natural-born citizen"
"The Constitution is vague on this point. For example, it does not make clear whether those 14 years need to be consecutive or what the precise definition of residency is. So far, however, this requirement has not been challenged"

Rochard is like Rainman without the math..
Yes, fewer illegal immigrants working equates to more job opportunities for American citizens.

the whole thing that a person must be born in america, is anti-american. it was fine in 1789. but nowadays its obsolete, especially since 100% of white peoples ancestors are not from america anyway. the age requirement is obsolete too. so is the 2nd amendment. militias havent provided the national defense for over 200 years now. amendment 3? OMG what a fossil.

You are all missing my point.
The birther movement claimed that Obama wasn't legally able to become President because he wasn't born in the United States. Assuming for a moment that this is true, he would still legally be able to become President of the United States because he was in fact - no matter what - a US citizen.
Shouldn't everyone who ever believed in the birther movement believe that Cruz cannot run for President?
We should start with Vendzilla.Herschel Savage

Wrong
Supreme court ruled on that The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff.

Cruz? sounds mexican, so it could be worse.Comment

For once we agree - It doesn't matter. Even if he was born outside of the US, his mother being an American citizen made him a natural born citizen with rights to American citizenship upon birth.
Even if the birther movement was right, he should legally would be able to run for President.Herschel Savage

Seems he like to troll the politician.

What is more interesting to me is that Cruz basically has exactly the same experience an credentials that Obama had when he ran. With those right wing pundits that went after Obama's lack of experience give Cruz the same treatment?Comment

I was listening to some soundbytes from this tool earlier on the news. This lunatic will never make it.
If he does, he'll win the president with the most punchable face ever award.

there seems to be only one that isn't a religious nutcase and/or any other form of nutcase and doesn't seem to have too many skeletons in his closet - Jeb Bush
but will he make it through the primaries without scaring off the normal folks?
because only with the white religious, conservative people, no one will win an election nowadaysComment
-
At the moment there seems to be no real strong republican candidate. Cruz it too batshit crazy to appeal to the more moderates, Bush has the family name issue and at this point none of them seem to have a plan for trying to draw in minority and younger voters.
But it is early. You never know who may enter the race or what could happen.Comment

for quite a while i was thinking it's Jeb. Now i'm not sure but i would expect the republitard party must have a favorite by now that the political machines are being primed right? i now rove has been on the circuit for a bit now, so things are ramping up. certainly some of these candidates are falling on their swords so to speak to muddy things up, etc.
certainly they have at least an outline of an agenda by now.
and wouldn't you agree cruz is an ideal candidate to do that? an irish catholic cuban canadian texan conservative PUSA? not a chance.Comment

I liked Jon Huntsman (besides him being a mormon). But he seemed to be a reasonable, quite liberal person with good international experience.
that's probably why he'll never get far in the Republican Party

I honestly don't know much about Bush other than his family.
Paul seems to ruffle the feathers of the GOP, which can be a good thing to some degree, but I wonder if they would back him enough to help him raise the money needed to compete.
It could turn into a very interesting election.Comment
