I like Ted Cruz. I like everything he says and I consider him one of, if not our best senator. I think he would make an excellent president. On the other hand, he was born in Canada to a Cuban father. I do not consider him to be “natural born.” Just because the Democrats ignore the Constitution, should we?
I’m interested in hearing counter arguments.
I have heard that, I am hardly an expert on citizenship, look at who we have now. Cruz is much more pro-American. If these questions can be cleared up...by what authority ??? I am clueless there. As we saw with Obama, there is no authority.
And, frankly, I'm getting tired of offering them.
U.S. citizenship law recognizes two kinds of American citizens: citizens-at-birth and naturalized citizens.
As a child born on foreign soil to an American citizen mother, who was of a certain age, Cruz immediately qualified as a citizen-at-birth and was recognized as such by the American consulate.
Citizens-at-birth are eligible to serve as president. Naturalized citizens are not.
So far as the presidential eligibility argument is concerned, end of story.
