Requirements for President of the United States
Qualifications for presidential candidates have remained the same since the year Washington accepted the presidency. As directed by the Constitution, a presidential candidate must be a natural born citizen of the United States, a resident for 14 years, and 35 years of age or older. These requirements do not prohibit a woman from being president, yet this has yet to occur. What "unwritten" perceptions of presidential candidates have prevented this? Do you think these perceptions will change? What might cause such a change? When might it occur?

Lambiebear, you are right and you are wrong. Constitutionally someone needs to be a "natural born citizen" of the United States to be President however someone does not have to be born on American soil to be considered "natural born." Although the Constitution does not define "natural born" immigration laws do.
According to the standards set forth in the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, he does qualify as natural born. The qualifications set forth in that law (that apply in his case) and all of those conditions are met in his case.

- The person’s parents were married at the time of birth
- One of the person’s parents was a U.S. citizen when the person was born
- The citizen parent lived at least ten years in the United States before the child’s birth;
- A minimum of 5 of these 10 years in the United States were after the citizen parent’s 14th birthday.
It doesn't matter if Ted Cruz runs or not, he will not win. I could never abide to have Cruz as my presidential servant, but he does amuse me enough to want to see him act a character in the primary. I do wonder if he runs; what sort of amusing literature quotes we can expect from him? Seeing as he has all ready covered Cicero and Dr. Seuss perhaps he will find some middle ground and go with one of Aesop's Fables.
My grandson was born in England, and he has American citizenship, because his mom registered him to be a US citizen, passport and all.
I wonder if he would want to grow up to be president?
And speaking of dictators, come to Canada if you want to see how it works. We've had Stephen Harper for over 6 years, and he literally dictates everything. Elected officials have left the PC party over it. (That's Progressive Conservatives, not politically correct! LOL)

I initially wanted, and may still support Ben Carson, but I'm not sure he"s ready for prime time. Cruz is right on virtually every issue and would be an incredible defender of the Constitution. Since I believe the U.S. will have to continue it's decay as we get closer to Christ's return, I think we will get the evil Hitlery Rotten Clinic.
As for Cruz not being able to run, that's going to end up being a silly argument no one but the left and paulites will moan about.

That is some creepy stuff. Also found this documentary online which covers that and several other "suicides" during the clinton administration:

Well, Rand Paul has some great ideas and a few strange ideas. I still would be happy with Cruz/Paul or Paul/Cruz ticket.
Carson would make a great surgeon general, I don't know if he'd be the best president though. Since we're picking who to go where here, why not make Judge Roy Moore head of The Supreme Court?
FYI: Ted Cruz, if he should run, is as far as I know - legal. He has already made a formal renouncement to Canada. McCain did similar in 2008 as he was born in Panama.

There is no "Proof" of any wrong doing by Hillary! Please stop screaming along party lines. Open your eyes and see the truth! No proof, nothing wrong. She has been investigated and nothing was found illegal, let it rest. No matter how long the Rep's keep this up it will not change, they are only hurting their own cause by looking like idiots on a witch hunt!
Keep dreaming "LOKIE" and make no mistake...my comments are not "along party lines" as they are all liars and deceivers...now...she was even tied to insider trading on cattle futures as well...funny how all of the witnesses were silenced, disappeared, murdered and prosecutors removed and jailed etc........wake up jack...the truth is out there....go have an x-files moment!
