Sen. Ted Cruz Makes It Official

[aegsm76]

Esaias - this is very simple.
The Naturalization Act of 1790 clarified that he was a "natural-born citizen"

"And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond Sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born Citizens: Provided, that the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States: "

um...ya.

Also, notice that Ted Cruz abstained from voting. Pretty hard to remain stealthily in the back pocket of his wife's employer (Goldman-Sachs) had he actually voted!

This was the Texas vs. Medellin Supreme Court case that Cruz argued and won against the United Nations. He beat George W Bush, who was on the side of Medellin. That is one of the reasons Bush doesn't like Cruz.

Her job at Goldman Sachs was a job period. The Federal government's decision to bail out banks across this nation was a presidential decision not Heidi's decision.

Former SC AG, McCain, Bush, Dole SC Co-Chairman Endorses Ted Cruz for President

HOUSTON, Texas – Today, Former South Carolina Attorney General Charlie Condon endorsed Ted Cruz for President. A two-term AG in the Palmetto State, Condon led in guaranteeing constitutional rights for victims of crime. He served as John McCain’s South Carolina Co-Chair in 2008, George Bush's South Carolina Co-Chairman in 2000, and South Carolina Chairman for Bob Dole in 1996.

“Ted Cruz’s fidelity to the Constitution and the rule of law makes him a welcome figure after eight years of Obama’s lawlessness,” said Condon. “No one has fought harder to protect the rights and freedoms of Americans than Ted Cruz. From Texas to Washington, in the courtroom and on the Senate floor, he has been the leading voice opposing Obama’s unconstitutional executive orders, usurpation of legislative power, and selective enforcement of the law. With Ted Cruz as President, we will have someone in office who respects not only his constitutional authority but also the limitations of that power that guarantee our liberty. I am proud to support Cruz for President.”

“I am honored to have Charlie’s support,” said Cruz. “He has been an incredibly strong warrior in the fight to uphold the law and protect our freedoms. He is an important and influential voice in a critical early state in this campaign. I look forward to having his help as we connect with South Carolina voters.”

Yes. I also read the article that he was rebutting.
His entire point is that he believes that he should be the one who defines a "natural born citizen" .
However, as I show above, it has already been defined.
And as long ago as 1790.
Which means they would be much closer to knowing the original meaning then he does.

New update attack on Ted Cruz. Surprise, Surprise. LOL!

So, the NYT is trying to claim that Ted didn't disclose that he had borrowed $50,000 from Goldman Sachs to fund his first Senate run.

Ted Cruz noted loans on his personal disclosures in 2012 which suggests there was no nefarious attempt to hide them.

Here is the form from Open Secrets:
