Ted Cruz is eligible to serve as a Senator. Sen. Ted Cruz is ineligible to serve in the Office of the President or Vice president. He needs to take responsibility and promptly quash speculation about his being a candidate for POTUS in 2016.

uh?
NO Cruz is eligible.
I hope he doesn’t run but if no other true conservative comes forth then let him run

how foolish to say he isn’t eligible

[Tau Food]

Cruz's mother was born an American citizen, a daughter of Uncle Sam. Like apple trees can produce only apples, Cruz's mother could produce only American citizens. This is called natural law.

Ted Cruz - 2016

Watch Ted run, 2016.

Please point out the relevant part of the US Constitution that supports your opinion of the meaning of "Natural Born" citizenship requirements.

Lacking that, please point out the relevant law pass by the US Congress and signed by a US President that supports your opinion of the meaning of "Natural Born" citizenship requirements.

Lacking that, please point out the relevant US Supreme Court ruling that supports your opinion of the meaning of "Natural Born" citizenship requirements.

If you can't provide any of the above, you don't have a leg to stand on, constitutionally speaking.

You see, the founders of this country (those guys who wrote the US Constitution) were really smart guys and with the exception of Slavery (for very real and well-stated reasons) covered everything that they could think of at the time in detail. I sincerely doubt that if they thought as you do on this subject, they would have overlooked this issue and not have left clear requirements/or a definition in the Constitution.

Does not seem very likely.

Sorry, but the major authorities of the early United States say you're wrong. Ted Cruz is as eligible as any President who's ever served.

You are right just as John McCain and Barack Obama Marco Rubio are not natural born citizens. According to Vattel Chap 19 in the law of nations, which the founders based the constitution.

The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights.

The Canal Zone at the time was not a possession or territory of the United States so McCain was not eligible to be POTUS either.
