Laws, Codes and Eligibility – A Civics Lesson

By Craig Andresen – The National Patriot and Right Side Patriots on cprworldwidemedia.net

cru 1After yesterday’s article, “Cruz Makes it Official – The Race is ON!!!” I believe there are more than just a few out there who need a civics lesson.

Ted Cruz, as a matter of LAW and U.S. Codes…IS indeed qualified AND eligible to run for the office of president.

The Constitution, clearly states that to serve as president, one must be 35 years of age, one must have resided in the United States for at least 14 years and that one must be a Natural Born Citizen. Just as clearly, the Constitution never defines Natural Born Citizen nor do any of our founding documents but…later laws and codes DO.

The Supreme Court, which has NEVER entertained a case based on NBC and therefore, never issued any DECISION regarding NBC has, for a very long time, held that a Natural Born Citizen or…NBC…is one who is a Citizen at Birth or…CaB.

Further…the SCOTUS has long held that NBC includes those born in the United States or abroad to parents of a U.S. citizen.

Now don’t go all plural on me here as I will explain this.

Cruz Makes it Official – The Race is ON!!!

tc 1The first hat has been thrown in the ring and it may well be THE most Constitutional hat there is out there.

With a Tweet…Ted Cruz has made his intentions known.

“I’m running for President and I hope to earn your support.”

There are two very important elements of that short tweet…first, that Ted Cruz IS running for the highest office in our great nation and second…that he hopes to EARN our support.

He doesn’t EXPECT it…he doesn’t just WANT it…he hopes to EARN it and THAT is more than just refreshing…it is downright honorable.

But wait…He was born in CANADA wasn’t he? His FATHER wasn’t a U.S. citizen…right?

Yes, there are those who are and already have come out against a Ted Cruz run for the White House based on those things and their talking points are set…

“Cruz In, BUT NOT ELIGIBLE.”

“A ‘natural born citizen’ is a person born of citizen parents.
Ted is not a ‘natural born citizen’ since Ted’s father was not a citizen at the time of Ted’s birth. Our Constitution requires a candidate must be a ‘natural born citizen’. TED IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO THE PRESIDENCY.”

Many such dissenters I believe are liberals wearing Conservative’s clothing but some, as the one who posted the above comments yesterday on Facebook are simply misinformed.

Ted Cruz IS ELIGIBLE.

Let’s examine the meat of the talking point against his eligibility shall we?
