If he runs, I’m voting for him.

After the pass given to Obama, the “natural born citizen” clause is no longer relevant.

The “Natural Born Citizen” clause was intended to avoid the possibility that a president like Obama would have divided loyalty.

I have no doubt that Ted Cruz does not have a divided loyalty. Ted Cruz is the most Loyal All American person in the Senate and the most All American potential candidate out there.

We need a president who represents and defends the Values and beliefs that made America a once great nation. Ted Cruz represents those values. In that sense, you can’t find a candidate out there who is more naturally born an American that Ted Cruz.

It’s not up to me as voter to determine his elgibility and if it were to come to pass that he is on a Presidential ballot, I’m going to vote for him. A precedent has been set by obams’s election that if those whose duty it is to determine elgibilty fail and he’s elected there is nothing to do about it. I would certainly like to see a few more Ted Cruz types in the Senate and many more Louis Gohmerts in the House. Thank God for Texas.

Based on current citizenship law, Cruz was born a citizen, therefore, he is a natural born citizen. Arguing over the meaning of natural born citizen at the time of the Constitution’s enactment is irrelevant since the Constitution puts naturalization in the hands of Congress.

His mother was a full citizen, born in Delaware, and she and his father, who didn’t become a citizen until 2005, were in Canada working for their employer.

From Wikipedia: “Cruz...attended Harvard Law School, graduating magna cum laude in 1995.[26][27][1] While at Harvard Law, Cruz was a primary editor of the Harvard Law Review, and executive editor of the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, and a founding editor of the Harvard Latino Law Review.[21] Referring to Cruz’s time as a student at Harvard Law, Professor Alan Dershowitz said, “Cruz was off-the-charts brilliant”.[17][28][29][30][31][32]”

I agree that the “natural born citizen” clause is no longer relevant.
