Illinois Board Of Elections: Cruz Is A ‘Natural Born Citizen’


Article by KERRY PICKET


Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is a “natural born citizen,” according to the Illinois Board of Elections.

The state’s BOE ruled that Cruz met the citizenship criteria to appear on the state’s primary ballot.

Two state residents, William Graham and Lawrence Joyce, challenged Cruz’s eligibility with the board, claiming his name should not appear on the March 15 primary ballot because his candidacy did not comply with Article II of the U.S. Constitution.

“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,” the Constitution reads. “Either shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been Fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.”

The board rejected the objections, The Huffington Post first reported. According to HuffPo, Joyce does not plan to appeal the decision due to lack of resources but hopes someone else will.

“The Candidate is a natural born citizen by virtue of being born in Canada to his mother who was a U.S. citizen at the time of his birth,” the board stated, saying that Cruz “did not have to take any steps or go through a naturalization process at some point after birth,” adding, “Further discussion on this issue is unnecessary.”
Graham also filed a separate challenge to Florida Sen. Marco Rubio ‘s eligibility for the presidency.

New York billionaire and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump whacked Cruz repeatedly over whether the Texas senator qualified to be on the presidential ballot for the last month and urged Cruz to go to the courts to be declared a natural born citizen.

“It’s not anything that’s going to happen, and I’m not going to be taking legal advice anytime soon from Donald Trump,” Cruz said in response to Trump’s accusations at the January 14 Republican debate.

My comments;

Trump and the dimoCRAPS are beating this poor dead horse to death! (oh wait......he's ALREADY dead! )

I really don't understand all the 'hoop-la'.

We have already modified the Constitution by allowing
'a natural born Kenyan' to be president.

It's to keep the attention away from the Kenyan.

Twardlow Loc: Arkansas

The term 'natural born citizen' does not mean the same as 'American Citizen.'

We are moving toward 'common law' as the Supreme Court demands, and I see some controversy here. I am not a lawyer.

However, I consider this an open issue, and certainly not 'beating a dead horse.'

In my experience, the more lawyers investigate, the more unclear the issue is.

Remember, for anyone interested in this issue, it is uninvolved lawyers that keep bring this up.

Stand by....

You guys can have him, we have enough slimy, crooked looking used car sales men over here.

Twardlow Loc: Arkansas

Silly, silly silly.

You embarrass yourself.

BigBear Loc: Northern CT

Natural born means that the person was a citizen the moment they were born wherever that was.

Twurdlow............I can't imagine anyone on this whole forum who has done more to make "him" (or "her" ) self look ignorant and one-sided than YOU have! Yet you continuously attempt to convince other people (who don't happen to agree with YOUR narrow-minded, imbecilic brand of "liberalism" ), that it's them that are "lacking"........

You seriously need to find a hobby or something to "take up your time" because the more of these goofy one-liners you toss out there at normal, sensible people, the more you make yourself look like an idiot! Have you ever considered taking up needle-point? Or embroidery?
knitting perhaps?

You do seem to like playing around on your computer........I can turn you onto something that I personally get a lot of enjoyment out of that you do with a computer; have you ever given any thought about doing "fractals"? In case you don't know what fractals are, here are a few attempts to explain what they are, and I'll post a few examples below, none of which are ones that I've done, but just a few examples from the internet.

A fractal is a never-ending pattern. Fractals are infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales. They are created by repeating a simple process over and over in an ongoing feedback loop.

The term "fractal" was first used by mathematician Benoît Mandelbrot in 1975. Mandelbrot based it on the Latin frāctusmeaning "broken" or "fractured", and used it to extend the concept of theoretical fractional dimensions to geometric patterns in nature.

A fractal is an object or quantity that displays self-similarity, in a somewhat technical sense, on all scales. The object need not exhibit exactly the same structure ...



If you should happen to become interested in creating fractals, you'll first need a small software program (which are widely available on-line )


You are very definitely NOT a "debater", twurdlow.........you simply come across as being a poorly educated and inarticulate "dumb bell"!
As a matter of fact, every time I read anything you've written, I'm always reminded of the "individual" below.......

Could This Possibly Be Twurdlow?


Fractal 1


Fractal 2


Fractal 3


Fractal 4

You could be right, that is what I always believed, but as I understand it, it is unsettled law at this time. Obama was an American Citizen at birth, right?

steve03 Loc: long Lsland

This has never been before Supreme Court. So it is not settled law and I'm sure someone either Dem. or Republican will force the court to hearing the case.
