But, the whiners seem to never consider the truth - Cruz’s mother WAS A LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZEN. That automatically makes him a “natural born citizen”.

The fact that he was born in Canada is a non-entity. He could have been born to his mother in any other country in the world, and he would still be a US CITIZEN. And, while he did have DUAL-Citizenship with Canada (because that country has to register the birth) - Cruz has already renounced his Canadian portion.

Proving that Trump doesn’t know SQUAT!

And, once again, Jim Robinson has said - it’s a closed issue on FR.

Note the reference to Natural Law in the first sentence of our Declaration of Independence.

The Supreme Court of the United States has never applied the term “natural born citizen” to any other category than “those born in the country of parents who are citizens thereof”.

Your post makes a lot of sense. Based on the position of those who say he is ineligible because he was born in Canada, anyone whose mother may have been out of the country when they were born would not be U.S. citizens. Ridiculous.

“The fact that he was born in Canada is a non-entity.”

I think Cruz would make a fantastic president.

However, the USSC has never really addressed this, and that is where it will be heading. Some liberal court is going to rule him ineligible. Others will rule that he is... Do we really need that drama in the midst of a presidential election?
