How Ted Cruz should save America
Of all the politicians running for President, Senator Ted Cruz is my favorite. However, I do not support his campaign--the reason being that he could accomplish so much more by publicly dropping out in a way that refutes Obama.What is better: to steer America back somewhat towards the direction of progress from the disastrous state the country is in today, or, to wipe out everything Obama thinks he did during his supposed "Presidency"?
It is my interpretation that a law must be understood in order for it to be followed. And, if a law does not mean what it says, then there is a real immoral problem there. But, in fact, when it comes to the highest law of the land, The Constitution of the United States of America, it means what it says because of the law of identity. A is A
In Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution, it is written:
"No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."
Since Ted Cruz was born in Canada, this part of the Constitution contradicts his entire presidential run. He basically has two options: continue to evade the arguments that The Constitution means what it says, or, choose to drop out on the grounds that a non-natural born citizen cannot become President.
Look at what choosing the latter would do. If Ted Cruz (who desperately wants to lead this country) can't be President, then Barack Obama (who was born in Kenya) can't be, either--and in fact never was.
I know Ted Cruz may be upset by my arguments in this blog. But, is more political power so luring, as to propel one to dispense with one's conscience concerning the greatness of America's Constitution? Is it so belittling to realize one's highest career achievement as the attainment of a seat in the United States Senate? Ted Cruz is a great man. Now, what can he do to make America its greatest?
