Senator Cruz, Senator Rubio, and Governor Jindal Should Not Be Allowed to Participate in the Presidential Debates Because They, Like De Facto President Obama, Are All Not Natural Born Citizens and Therefore Not Eligible to Be President By Mario Apuzzo, Esq. May 25, 2015 Soon, we will see various presidential candidates debate each other for the right to win their party’s nomination for President and ultimately to win the people’s and Electoral College’s vote for that Office.  The organizations that will be sponsoring these presidential debates, Commission on Presidential Debates, Fox News, Fox Business Network, Reagan Library Foundation, Salem Media Group, CNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, Telemundo, and National Review, in keeping with their bylaws, should not allow any person who is not constitutionally eligible for that office to debate.  Allowing constitutionally ineligible candidates to debate will only give the false impression to the American people that such persons are constitutio...

A Response to Neal Katyal and Paul Clement on the Meaning of a Natural Born Citizen By Mario Apuzzo, Esq. March 13, 2015 I read the March 11, 2015 article entitled, “On the Meaning of a ‘Natural Born Citizen,” written by Neal Katyal and Paul Clement, found at 128 Harv.L.Rev.F 161, and accessed at http://harvardlawreview.org/2015/03/on-the-meaning-of-natural-born-citizen/ .  The first sentence of the article says:  “We have both had the privilege of heading the Office of the Solicitor General.”  The article repeats the existing talking points offered in support of the constitutional eligibility of Senator Ted Cruz (all born citizens are natural born citizens) and offers nothing new.  Mr. Cruz was born in Canada to a U.S. citizen mother and a non-U.S. citizen (Cuban) father.  I have written a recent article in which I conclude that Mr. Cruz is not a natural born citizen and therefore not eligible to be President because he does not satisfy the one and only common ...

What Do President Obama and Senator Cruz Have In Common?  They Are Both Not Natural Born                                                                    Citizens                                                          By Mario Apuzzo, Esq.                                                               February 20, 2015 Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 provides: “ 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 of...

Rick Santorum Is An Article II Natural Born Citizen and Eligible to Be President By Mario Apuzzo, Esq. January 28, 2015    Rick Santorum will be a presidential candidate in 2016.   As we know, the President and Commander in Chief of the Military must be, among other things (at least 35 years old and a resident in the United States at least 14 years), an Article II “natural born Citizen” in order to be eligible for that Office.   There has been some chatter that Rick Santorum is not a natural born citizen and therefore not eligible to be President.   My research shows the contrary, i.e., that Rick Santorum is a natural born citizen and therefore eligible to be President and Commander in Chief of the Military.   The one and only definition of a natural born citizen the Framers used when they adopted the Constitution is the universal one which is a child born in a country to parents who were its citizens at the time of the child's birth, meaning, when applied ...
