Cruz’s mother is a U.S. citizen, just like Obama’s mother. They are both qualified to be President.
Cruz is naturalized.
Actually, no. Under laws in effect at the time of his birth, Obama's mother wasn't old enough to pass on citizenship. She was one year too young.
Cruz was born in Calgary and that’s in Alberta, Canada- 3 hours north of our American border.
Ted is a natural born Canadian citizen and held onto his Canadian citizenship until 2015.
His father was Cuban citizen until 1968. Then he became a Canadian citizen until 2005.
His mother was born in the USA, was a British resident for 6-7 years and then became a Canadian citizen.
The Cruz family moved to the USA when he was 5 yrs old.
Nonsense. The statutes are very clear.
If Barry was born in Kenya to Stanley Ann, he clearly fails under the statute--no argument. Everything else, including my speculation about Canada, is just that--speculation and irrelevant until the facts are in the record.
Cruz on the other hand has a somewhat better position. His mother passed Citizenship to her son born outside the US to a non citizen father--again, the statute is clear and specific.
Cruz has two problems. One is technical compliance with the statute which is not all that clear. The other is that the established Constitutional Law view excludes statutory citizenship at birth and does include only birth in the several states. At present, my forecast is that the Supreme Court would hold Cruz eligible if he were elected but that is not supported by any operative precedent.
