FC Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 I voted Cruz; my wife voted Carson. I'm really surprised that Benedict Arnold Rubio came in second, but it was darned close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlunity Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 I would have voted for Trump. I can live with Carson or Cruz. As to Cruz, I was a Constitution teacher for 24 years and I cannot see how he can get around the being born in Canada issue. You KNOW that Clinton, will take him to court and ya never know how that will turn out...given the make up or the court. karl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzRednek Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 I'm with Karl on the Cruz/Canada thing. Best I recall from high school civics. One must be a "natural" born citizen but the word natural is not defined. Teacher relayed to the class natural means born in the USA. It was a hot topic here in Arizona as Goldwater in his 1964 shot at the presidency was challenged because he was born in territorial Arizona prior to 1912 the year Arizona became a state. I just can't recall if the Goldwater circumstances went to court but do recall it coming up to shoot down the challenge to McCain being born in the Canal Zone. The Panama Canal Zone at the time was considered a US Territory. Cruz being born in Canada, having dual citizenship until recently. Just hard in my mind to define as a natural born citizen. Might be different had Cruz's parents been on a diplomatic or military mission stationed out of a USA Embassy or military base. If Cruz prevails he could easily be challenged in the court. Guess it is a decision best left to lawyers and the Supremes. What I would fear the most is Obama using it as an excuse to challenge the election and remain in office if Cruz wins.

FC Posted February 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Since nobody seems to have given a flip about Obama's place of birth, I guess I'm not worried about Cruz. Let the courts figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
