[Hobbes]

Cruz, Jindal, Rubio, and Santorum may be ineligible to be POTUS.

Story is too long to repost in entirety.

So, I guess a Kenyan born....well, never mind.

We all remember how Donald Trump questioned the O birth certificate.
Trump also claims that Cruz and Rubio are ineligible to be POTUS.
Come home to roost...

You'd think people running for POTUS would already have this issue resolved enough that there is no debate.

Good. Make a candidates prove that the meet the eligibility requirements.

What a novel concept...

Cruz renounced his Candadian citizenship.
Is that enough for a foreign born person to be considered a natural born citizen?

As long as one parent is already a citizen of the US, you are a natural-born citizen, period. That is where the whole birther thing got it wrong. It simply does not matter WHERE in the world you were born, as long at least one parent is a US citizen, you don't have to be born on US soil.

 

[Hobbes]

The President has to 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.

That eliminates Cruz, Jindal, and Rubio.

That eliminates Cruz, Jindal, and Rubio.

It didn't matter, Trump has this in the bag!
