The Harvard article specifically addresses Cruz, stating he is eligible and why.
Ted Cruz is a Child Abuser.
- Thread starter Spike Trader
- Start date
Harvard law scholar Lawrence Tribe disagrees. This is far from a settled matter.

OK. I'm just saying that, unless someone brings the case up now, it's irrelevant.
Agreed...... Funny no one mentioned it before. Now that Cruz is making a surge, both sides are attacking.
Will people wake up and understand that the Beltway Establishment owns both sides, and will do whatever is necessary to hold power.
Means nothing. Cruz was naturalized at birth. That doesn't mean he was natural born. No law by Congress can settle this matter. Only the federal judiciary can settle this matter.
The article references a SCOTUS ruling pertaining to similar circumstances, Rogers v. Bellei, (401 U.S. 815)
https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/401/815/case.html
Bellei, born and lived aboard to an Italian father and US mother, originally had his citizenship revoked. He argued that his "native-born" citizenship was granted to him since birth via his mother, and he was not naturalized and dependent upon State criteria to retain citizenship. SCOTUS ruled in his favor.
Yes , I understand why there are people who would like to have Cruz disqualified..... By all means take it to court, but you'll be waisting your time.... This is an attempt to slow Cruz's campaign and nothing more.

The guy wants to ''carpet bomb'' even though he doesn't even know what the term means.
Ted Cruz Does Not Understand What 'Carpet Bombing' Means
WASHINGTON -- Ted Cruz on Sunday stood by his claim that the U.S. should "carpet bomb" the Islamic State group out of existence and falsely stated that the George H.W. Bush administration carpet bombed Iraq during the first Gulf War.
"You wanna know what carpet bombing means?" Cruz said, invoking the first Iraq War in 1991. "We were launching 1100 air attacks a day. We were carpet bombing." As a result of this bombing campaign, Cruz said, U.S. troops "mopped up the remains of the Iraqi army" with ease.
The United States did not carpet bomb Iraq or Kuwait during the 1991 Gulf War. The airstrikes were highly targeted and thus highly effective, as military experts told The New York Times. "Carpet bombing" is not even a term used by the American military. But it is generally understood to be the indiscriminate bombing of large geographic areas without regard for potential civilian casualties.
Cruz has been repeatedly mocked by military leaders, human rights advocates and even fellow conservatives for pledging to "carpet bomb" ISIS. During the GOP debate Thursday, he acknowledged that he would not actually bomb entire cities to take out ISIS members embedded within them, but rather target bombing campaigns against key elements of the ISIS militants. That is essentially the Obama administration's strategy.
