[Charles Henrickson]

Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for at least five years. . . .

Thus Ted Cruz is a natural born citizen. Thanks for proving it. Case closed.

[PROCON]

Yes, he did prove it but these trolls still post endless, self-important vanities.

I long for the days when these trolls would summarily be sent to never-never land.

"Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is an alien and as long as the other parent is a citizen of the U.S. who lived in the U.S. for at least five years. . . ."

Thus Ted Cruz is a natural born citizen.

Charles, it takes two conditions of birth to make a Natural Born Citizen of ANY country. Those are:

1) Born on the soil of the country.
2) Both parents are citizens of the country.

Yes, Ted can rightfully claim U.S. citizenship, but the Framers put in place a much stricter standard of citizenship for U.S. presidents. They must be born to our land, and of our people. Plain and simple.

Ted does not meet that test, therefore, is not qualified to be President. Neither was Obama, but no one stopped him from usurping the office. Doesn't make it ok for us to violate the Constitution in the same way, just because we like a certain politician.
