“Ted Cruz is my choice for Prez. I sure hope he makes it to the general election.”

Ted Cruz was born in Canada. Therefore, he is not a natural born U.S. citizen. Therefore, he is not eligible for the Presidency. We need to find someone else. Cruz will make an excellent cabinet appointment though.

“Ted Cruz was born in Canada”

“Obama was born in ________” well not in the United States.

There have been threads too numerous to count on the subject of natural born citizenship, and whether Obama is one, etc.

Cruz had an American citizen mother, so he was born an American citizen.

As with any other issue, if Cruz runs, someone would have to file a lawsuit to try to block him. Many seem to think that if a court ever ruled, it would be to rule that Cruz is eligible to run for President.

I understand what you are saying, but, there doesn’t seem to be any clear legal consensus on what natural born citizen really means. During the primary season last time, some even questioned Rick Santorum’s eligibility, because his father was not an American citizen at the time of Rick’s birth.

It’s clear that an Arnold Schwarzenegger is not a natural born citizen, but not at all clear in the case of a Ted Cruz.

"Cruz will make an excellent cabinet appointment though."

No. Cruz would and probably will make and excellent President of the United States.

The eligibility issue has been hashed over at length, and JimRob has made is completely clear that he, based on credible sources. considers Cruz eligible. People trying to stir up trouble on that score aren't especially cared for.

I heard he ties his shoes left-handed. This cannot be tolerated, and therefore he’s not eligible to be President.

He has a “z” at the end of his name, therefore he’s not eligible to be President.

He’s not very tall, therefore he’s not eligible to be President.

He’s from Texas, therefore he’s not eligible to be President.

He said something nice about Nelson Mandela, therefore he’s not eligible to be President.

He allowed himself to be gaveled down after 21 hours speaking on the floor, therefore he’s not eligible to be President.

Get your flame suit on, joseph20. I know from experience not to question Cruz’s qualifications for POTUS, just.... because.
