[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=takoma]Concerning the citizenship issue:  Cruz is clearly a citizen by birth, but not a native born citizen.  The Constitutional term "natural born" citizen has never been adjudicated by the Supreme Court.  Until that happens, or someone like Cruz sets a precedent by slipping into the Presidency without a legal challenge, whether it means native born or citizen by birth, or even, as suggested last night by Cruz, whether it includes both parents being citizens, is not determined.  I don't agree with Trump on many things, but getting a definite ruling on this seems like a good idea for Cruz and all of us.[/quote]

Cruz won't slip into the Presidency.  And no court would touch this with a 100 foot pole.  Google "political question doctrine."  It's up to the voters to decide whether someone born to a Cuban father in Canada is qualified to be CIC.[/quote]

Wow, I think the opposite - that this is a question of law for a judge rather than a question of fact for the jury. We shall see.[/quote]

Please explain how a litigant overcomes the barriers to obtaining jurisdiction, including standing, justiciability, and the political question doctrine.  This is a silly distraction but some Americans might actually learn something about the Constitution other than the Second Amendment. [/quote]

Every American is impacted by the actions of the President, thus to suggest that any citizen not be allowed standing to bring suit would be a farcical atrocity of justice.[/quote]
