Debate: Is Ted Cruz a Natural Born Citizen? Attorney Jason Shepherd and David Welden Cherokee Cattle Company, 2710 Canton Road, Marietta, GA February 4th, early dinner arrival 6pm, program at 7pm |
Is Ted Cruz eligible to be President?
YES! According to Attorney Jason Shepherd, Cruz is constitutionally eligible, as described in his recently published paper on the subject. See excerpts from Mr. Shepherd here.
Retired Cobb business owner, David Welden, disagrees with Shepherd and has challenged him to a formal debate. Welden claims Cruz is not constitutionally eligible to serve the Presidency because he is not a natural born Citizen. If you have interest in the controversial question regarding the Constitution’s natural born Citizenship requirement, you will want to attend. The Northwest Georgia 9/12 Project promises a good time for all. For the best seats and dinner service, early arrival is recommended.
“Every word in the Constitution matters.” — Sen Ted Cruz
Since the founders and framers of the US Constitution clearly moved to block naturalized US citizens from the presidency due to their previous allegiances to foreign sovereignties, wouldn’t it also be reasonable to assume it was their intention to block US citizens from the presidency who were born subject to other foreign sovereignties as well, by requiring natural born U.S. citizens to be born exclusively under U.S. sovereignty?
They did NOT intend to block citizenship or the presidency from those with PREVIOUS allegiances to foreign sovereignties. If so, they themselves would be blocked from citizenship and the presidency since they were previously British subjects. Their intent, clear in their writings, was to prevent someone holding the office to have any allegiance to any nation other than the United States. I know of no evidence that President Ted Cruz will have a scintilla of allegiance to any nation other than ours.
You are partially right in the fact that a “Citizen” qualified for the presidency upon the finalization of the U.S. Constitution. The first nine presidents of the U.S. were ‘naturalized’ U.S. Citizens. These individuals were grandfathered in, meaning that they were exempt from the greater requirement of being a natural born Citizen. Carefully read Article II, Section 1, Clause 5.
The remainder of the U.S. presidents, 10 through 44 were all natural born U.S. Citizens, except the current usurper Obama and that of Chester Arthur. Reminder: a natural born U.S. Citizen is an individual born on U.S. soil to U.S. citizen parents (plural).

Obviously you have done much independent research on the subject nor did you pay attention to the debate. It doesn’t matter what Cruz thinks, feels or believes about the United States. The facts are that he is not eligible to run and neither is Marco Rubio. They depend on the uninformed, uneducated American people in order to pull off the biggest attack on our Constitution and they win every time. From 2003 until Feb. 2008 there were 8 bills they tried to pass to remove the requirement of NBC. Each time the bill failed. Why did they want to do this? The were doing it in order to make Obama eligible. So just like all good progressives when they cannot get their way they circumvent and push through frauds that now establish precedent. So in essence they changed our Constitution through precedent instead of the amendment process and Cruz is part of the plan. Lets play pretend. Lets pretend that TED CRUZ was born in Iran instead of Canada. His father a Muslim America hating Iranian father and an American mother. They raise their child in Iran to hate America and also in the fine art of deception. They move to the US and eventually little Ted runs for President. Now how would you feel about this. Would you really believe this is the type of person our founding fathers defined as NBC? No it is exactly what they wanted to prevent by making NBC a requirement for President/VP. By allowing Cruz, Rubio, Obama, Jindal to run and/or be elected you are setting the table for the situation I describe to happen in our country. Currently today there is a Muslim Saudi Prince that fits this bill. His father is a Saudi Muslim and his mother American (converted to Muslim). Is this who you think our founders thought was ok to be President of the United States. You better think long and hard about refusing to face the facts when it comes to Cruz and Rubio. If people would do some research they also might find that Cruz is not only not a NBC he is not even a legal citizen of the United States. He has no US BC. How come??
Well in all fairness they didn’t advertise what time zone they were talking about… It’s now 7:58 PM EST guess they called this due to weather…??????.

Hi John,
Our apologies, technical difficulties. You can see the whole debate now at http://www.restoreandpreservetheconstitution.com/is-ted-cruz-a-natural-born-citizen/.
Will this video be available later? We tried to watch it live, but we never got beyond “This program will begin momentarily.” We reloaded the page several times.
Hi Rebecca,
We had one of the streaming boxes fail and a couple other unexpected issues pop up. We have documented what happened and preventative measures to take in the future. Our apologies for the inconvenience. You can watch the recorded version at http://www.restoreandpreservetheconstitution.com/is-ted-cruz-a-natural-born-citizen/.
Ted Cruz strikes a creepy facial resemblance to Valerie Jarrett. All kidding out of the way, it’s time to use the nuclear option on this triple Canadian, Cuban, and maybe U.S. citizen.
Emphatically, make Cruz prove that he is a natural born U.S. citizen. The only way that can be accomplished is by having him produce a valid U.S. birth certificate. Once that is done, then have him prove that his parents were U.S. citizens when he was born on U.S. soil.
Oh, you say he was born up there in Canada? O.K., then insist that he produce his required Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA).
canada.usembassy.gov/mobile//consular_services/birth-abroad.html
If Cruz cannot produce this CRBA, then he should have had a passport. If neither are produced, Cruz is an undocumented alien and an illegal U.S. Senator. If he has either form, Cruz is a statute citizen, whose U.S. citizenship falls under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Therefore, Cruz is a naturalized U.S. citizen, not a natural born U.S. citizen and ineligible for the office of the POTUS under Article II of the U.S. Constitution.
