I was under the impression than many on the right, while acknowledging that obama was a US citizen, that because he was "born" in Kenya he was ineligible for POTUS. I am not claiming Ted is ineligible for the WH, it's just interesting what huge hypocrites the mainstream Right has become. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #4 March 24, 2015 Not according to the media, maybe not. “Birth Abroad to Two U.S. Citizen Parents in Wedlock A child born abroad to two U.S. citizen parents acquires U.S. citizenship at birth under section 301(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) provided that one of the parents had a residence in the United States or one of its outlying possessions prior to the child’s birth. The child is considered to be born in wedlock if the child is the genetic issue of the married couple.” "It would thus appear that for Senator Cruz to qualify as a natural-born citizen under this paragraph, (a) both of his parents would need to be U.S. citizens at the time of birth; and (b) one of the parents had a residence in the US at the time of birth." His father was not a citizen at the time of Cruz' birth. While is mother was clearly a US citizen at the time, she did not hold a residence in the USA.

headoverheels 334 #11 March 24, 2015 Wherever you got that paragraph left out the following two: 2. Child of U.S. Citizen Parent and U.S. National: A child born outside of the United States and its outlying possessions acquires citizenship at birth if at the time of birth: •One parent is a U.S. citizen and the other parent is a U.S. national; and •The U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of at least one year. 3. Child of U.S. Citizen Parent and Foreign National Parent A child born outside of the United States and its outlying possessions acquires citizenship at birth if at the time of birth: •One parent is a foreign national and the other parent is a U.S. citizen; and •The U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the United States for at least 5 years, including at least 2 years after 14 years of age. ______________________ So, he is a citizen under one of those, depending on whether his father was considered a US national or a foreign national.

Andy9o8 3 #12 March 24, 2015 Post # 11 is correct. Ted's mother's US citizenship plus her then-prior US residence gave the little sumbitch US citizenship at birth. Any legal challenges to his being qualified to be President on the basis of original citizenship will fail. P.s. so even if Obama had been born in Kenya it still would have been irrelevant.

I actually prefer a democrat as potus, with the house and senate conservative. That way less damage is done by both parties. So likely, I will vote democratic for president and republican, or libertarian for the senate race. But in my state, my one vote means little. I'll still exercise my right to vote.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

normiss 905 #25 March 24, 2015 He wants to ban abortion, even in cases of rape or incest. His support for "personhood" legislation that could limit women's rights and access to medical care. His desire to repeal the ACA (bear in mind how much added medical coverage was added for women). He supported the Hobby Lobby birth control ruling. He opposes equal pay for women legislation. Basically, if you don't have a vagina, you should never be in a position to propose, vote, or make legislation governing them IMO. If you don't think women voters can make a big enough difference, you weren't paying attention to the last two elections. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
