TheBlaze Ted Cruz not eligible, Glenn Beck insists Cruz is eligble for POTUS, Must be born in US to be president, Citizen not equivalent to natural born citizen
“In his 1789 article, Ramsay first explained who the “original citizens” were and then defined the “natural born citizens” as the children born in the country to citizen parents.”…Attorney Mario Apuzzo
“no Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President . . . .”…US Constitution
“We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.”…Abraham Lincoln
The Blaze on April 24, 2015 covered a story about Arnold Schwarzenegger who was not born in the US.
“Legendary action movie star and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger may have been born in Austria — but make no mistake, he’s 100 percent American.
Appearing on SiriusXM’s “Opie With Jim Norton” radio show on Wednesday, Schwarzenegger proclaimed that he owes his entire career to the United States of America. The actor expressed his deep love for America after comedian Jim Norton asked if he had a desire to run for president, something he’s unable to do because he wasn’t born in the country.”
“something he’s unable to do because he wasn’t born in the country.”
This is in direct contradiction to Glenn Beck who believes that Ted Cruz is eligible.
From Citizen Wells March 25, 2015.
“At the time the US Constitution was drafted and ratified there were 2 classifications of citizens, natural born citizens and everyone else.
That is why non natural born citizens, just citizens, had to be grandfathered in to run for president.
The US Constitution states:
“no Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President . . . .”
There was no naturalization law and no naturalized citizens by law.
Natural born citizen was understood at the time and needed no further explanation.
However, a prominent historian and founding father, David Ramsay did, in the same year the Constitution was ratified, 1789, define natural born citizen.
