Ted Cruz is asked if he’s filling the vacant Supreme Court seat and he doesn’t exactly say no

“And now I am happy to answer or dodge any question you like,” joked Senator Ted Cruz (R-Tx.).
This was right before he began a question and answer session after a small speech at The Federalist Society. After several questions, one audience member in particular wanted an answer to the question on everybody’s mind when it came to Cruz’s future.
“During the course of the campaign — particularly the primary — I did imagine you in another capacity,” began the audience member.
“So did I,” interrupted Cruz, causing the crowd to laugh.
“I’m wondering now,” continued the audience member. “If perhaps that ninth seat…any possibility?”
Cruz waited for the applause to die before answering.
“What I will say that history is long, and can take unexpected paths,” replied Cruz. “I think it is absolutely vital that that seat and every other seat that becomes vacant on the court be filled by principled constitutionalists who will be faithful to the law, and will check their own policy preferences at the door, and simply honor their oath.”
“I can also tell you that I have, right now, the privilege of serving in the United States senate representing 27 million Texans. That is a privilege and a responsibility I take very, very seriously,” continued Cruz. “And I look forward to continuing to carry out that responsibility, and continuing to fight for the principles of freedom, and the principles embodied in the constitution, and bill of rights. They are very much in jeopardy right now, and I — like I suspect many of you — am very excited by the very historic opportunity we have been given right now, and I look forward to working very hard to make the most of this opportunity. To make the biggest difference for our country.”
Perhaps that’s the dodge Cruz was counting on doing, because that wasn’t exactly a no. While Cruz’s comment about continuing to serve in the Texas senate can be taken as an unwillingness to head to the highest court in the land, the rest of his comments have a very optimistic feel to them. The responsibility he mentioned bled right into his talk about his excitement about filling the vacant seat.
Time will tell, but for many conservatives, putting Ted Cruz in a seat on the Supreme Court has been something of a dream. If President-elect Donald Trump is looking for a candidate, he’d please his conservative base greatly with this nomination.

Hi Ann, can't wait to see what you found out.  If this Cruz guy is still pulling our "leg" so to speak, he needs to be "found out" and NOW.

Lobo,

After reading a whole bunch of stuff ... this part of our Immigration Rules made me think
about Cruz situation.  Maybe it doesn't apply to him or recently the rules have changed.
Replys to me are welcomed.

Ted Cruz is NOT a Legal U.S. Citizen at all
February 7, 2016/in Commentary, Elections, Policy, Politics /by J.B. Williams

The debate over whether or not Senator Ted Cruz is eligible for the U.S. Presidency is about to end. It has now been confirmed that Senator Ted Cruz is neither a “U.S. natural born Citizen” or a “legal U.S. citizen.”

According to all relative legal citizenship documentation available at present, Senator Ted Cruz was born Rafael Edward Cruz, a legal citizen of Canada on December 22, 1970 and maintained his legal Canadian citizenship from birth until May 14, 2014, 43 years later.

The Cruz Campaign for the U.S. Presidency has claimed that Senator Ted Cruz was a “citizen at birth” via his U.S. mother and a “dual citizen” of both Canada and the United States in 1970 and that by renouncing his Canadian citizenship in 2014, he would become eligible for the Oval Office.

There are several problems with this claim… which make the claim false

    “citizen at birth” is a 14th Amendment naturalization term based upon “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.”

Senator Cruz was born in Canada, subject to the jurisdiction of Canada. Further, any U.S. citizen by virtue of the 14th Amendment only, is a “citizen” and not a “natural born Citizen,” as you will see below. (Source is Cornell Law on the 14th)

    “dual citizenship” was prohibited in Canada inDecember 1970. (Source is Canadian Law)

From May 22, 1868 until December 31, 1946, all residents of Canada were British subjects. There was no such thing as a Canadian citizen or Canadian citizenship untilJanuary 1, 1947.

From January 1, 1947 until February 15, 1977, Canadian law prohibited “dual citizenship.” Foreign parents giving birth to a child in Canada in 1970 were forced to choose between Canadian citizenship only, or citizenship in another country, and to declare that with Canadian officials at the time of birth. The parents of Ted Cruz chose and declared “Canadian citizenship” for Rafael Edward Cruz.

    United States laws make it possible to be a legal U.S. citizen by only the following means…

    a) NATURAL BORN CITIZEN – “As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent.” (The Natural Law as understood by the Founders in Article II of the US Constitution)

    b) NATIVE BORN CITIZEN – All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. (The 14th Amendment definition for “citizen”)

    c) NATURALIZED CITIZEN – the legal act or process by which a non-citizen in a country may acquire citizenship or nationality of that country. It may be done by a statute, without any effort on the part of the individual (aka anchor baby), or it may involve an application and approval by legal authorities, (such as a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) form filed with the US State Department at the time of birth). (This includes “anchor baby” or “citizen at birth” born here or abroad, under the 14th) Source is U.S. State Department

    “dual citizens” are prohibited from being “natural born Citizens” as it pertains to Article II requirements for the Oval Office.

As the stated purpose of the Article II “natural born Citizen” requirement for the Oval Office is to prevent anyone with foreign allegiance at birth from ever occupying the Oval Office, and all “dual citizens” at birth are born with “dual national allegiance” at birth. The mere condition of “dual citizen at birth” would be a direct violation of the known purpose and intent of the natural born Citizen requirement in Article II. Source is a letter from Founder John Jay in proposing the NBC requirement for the Oval Office.

Now, Senator Ted Cruz has repeatedly stated that he has never “naturalized” to the United States, which eliminated the possibility that Ted Cruz is a “naturalized” U.S. Citizen.

Senator Ted Cruz has also documented the fact that he was not a “native born citizen” of the United States, but rather a “native born citizen” of Canada on December 22, 1970, who maintained his legal Canadian citizenship untilMay 14, 2014.

The Harvard opinion letter written by two of Senator Cruz’s Harvard friends, Neal Katyal & Paul Clement, a mere “commentary” on the subject, relies upon the 14th Amendment naturalized citizen at birth concept, despite the fact that Ted Cruz was not “born in or under the jurisdiction of the United States,” was never “naturalized” to the United States, and completely ignoring the fact that Canada prohibited “dual citizenship” in 1970, as well as the fact that “dual citizenship” alone would prevent him from “natural born U.S.” status.

All of this explains why Senator Ted Cruz has no legal U.S. citizenship documentation of any kind. He is not a “natural born” – “native born” or “naturalized” citizen of the United States. Because someone must be one of the three in order to be a legal citizen of the United States, Senator Ted Cruz cannot possibly be a “legal U.S. citizen” of any form.

Only days ago, a 17-year-old first time voter at a New Hampshire town hall meeting for Senator Ted Cruz asked a very reasonable question… “How and why, until recently, were you unaware that you were a Canadian citizen?”

As the young man explained, this is not an eligibility question, but a credibility question… which Senator Cruz refused to answer, preferring instead to regurgitate the talking points carefully crafted by his Harvard friends and eventually, shouting the young man down, after a Cruz fan in the audience shouted “better a Canadian than a Kenyan!” (VIDEO) Meanwhile, a growing number of Constitutional Law Professors agree, “Cruz is NOT eligible.”

Of course, Senator Marco Rubio is also “ineligible,” as a “native born citizen at birth” by virtue of 14th Amendment “anchor baby” policies only.

In the end, the only possible way to consider Senator Ted Cruz eligible for the Oval Office is if every “undocumented resident alien” is eligible for the Oval Office, which I personally believe is the real agenda of both political parties, as they work to meld the USA into the global commune where there is no legal difference between “natural born Americans” and “undocumented aliens.”

The fact that so many Americans do not know or care to know the truth about the Constitutional “natural born Citizen” requirement for the Oval Office, demonstrates just how far down the road of “hope and change” for the destruction of the Constitutional Republic, the enemy within has already achieved.

Soon, “natural born Americans” will be in the American minority… and they will be ruled by foreigners who have no legal U.S. citizenship at all.

Ann, excellent work.  You're hired.  This is even more proof that he is a fraud.

Qualifications for Becoming a U.S. Senator

The qualifications to become a U.S. senator are stated in the U.S. Constitution; article one, section three, and clause three. The constitution states that to become a senator an applicant must meet a specific age, citizenship, and state status.

Citizenship

An applicant into the U.S. senate must be a U.S. citizen for nine years prior to applying for the senate. The 9-year rule helps ensure that foreign-born senators show more loyalty to the United States than to their countries of birth. This helps promote fairness when senators have to deal with treaties and make other foreign policy decisions.

now we can be from different countries and wonder about it ? clearly its a done FACT! and knowing the U.S constitution as i do and being a native american its settled!

Never questioned his citizenship, just his ethics. While he assumed to be the most conservative, when running for president all the baggage appeared. For me anyhow is how my stance changed. But IMHO Cruz for the Supreme Court, I'm 100% for that.
