Now The Left Leaning Government Run Media Wants To Know About The Eligibility Clause For President! CNN: Is Ted Cruz Eligible To Run For President?

By C. J. Refsland on August 14, 2013 • ( 0 )

My Comment: Now the left is all concerned about the ‘Natural Born Citizen’ clause oh heavens. Ted Cruz was born in Canada so this is a no brainer. At least that’s what Wikipedia say’s. But what I find very interesting is that in their zeal to shoot down a ‘Tea Party’ favorite they have declared the current president ineligible for the presidency. And notice how they say the Supreme Court has never ruled on this, we know they are twisting and turning facts and muddying the water on this. We know the current president is not eligible either, but they totally ignored that fact, and still do.

(Real Clear Politics) CNN’s Athena Jones investigates if Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is eligible to run for president. CNN says the “natural born citizen” question is dogging Cruz.

WOLF BLITZER: He’s taken the Senate by storm stirring up controversy and ruffling feathers on both sides of the aisle in his first months on the job. For that Ted Cruz is a Tea Party favorite already generating lots of buzz about the 2016 race for the White House. However, the question isn’t only will he run, but can he run under the U.S. Constitution?

CNN’s Athena Jones is joining us now. She’s been looking into this.

Athena, so what’s going on with Senator Ted Cruz and his eligibility potential to become one day president of the United States?

ATHENA JONES, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hi, Wolf. The big question here is whether Ted Cruz is a natural-born citizen.

I spoke with several constitutional law experts about this today. And all of them believe that Cruz is. But it’s important to know the Constitution doesn’t define who is a natural-born citizen. And those are the only people eligible to run for president. Also I should add the Supreme Court has never ruled on this issue. (The Situation Room, August 13, 2013)
