Right. The Constitution says you have to be a citizen of the US to be a senator. Cruz is not. Presto, he is gone baby. Remember, nobody likes Ted. Especially congress.

Are you not understanding that there is NO impeachment of a U. S. Senator authorized? That is the issue. Nothing else.

''The Constitution says you have to be a citizen of the US to be a senator. Cruz is not.  [Yes he is.]

Sec. 301. [8 U.S.C. 1401] The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:

(g) a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than five years, at least two of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years.  (Ted's mother meets this ) 

************Article I, Section 3 of the Constitution sets three qualifications for senators: (1) they must be at least 30 years old, (2) they must have been citizens of the United States for at least the past nine years, and (3) they must be inhabitants of the states they seek to represent at the time of their election.*************
