I don’t like the idea of anyone being disqualified on a technicality. Trump is being a douche for playing that card.

The “natural born citizen” requirement was meant to prevent someone with conflicting loyalties taking office. I don’t like anything about Cruz as a candidate, but I also do not doubt that he is loyal to the US and no other country. He should be qualified to run, and hopefully lose.[/quote]

I don’t like the idea that we treat our constitution as some sort of suggestions document. Why must we make all these exceptions when the rules are already spelled out. I don’t doubt Cruz’s loyalty but I don’t understand why we need to make an exception for him.
