I think it is interesting that Ted Cruz is talking around this issue and not directly engaging it. The best-case scenario is that Cruz knows full well that he is not eligible (and neither is Obama), and he reopens the Obama eligibility question as a part of the backdrop to the 2016 election. Maybe Cruz has a copy of Barry's Candian birth certificate or something.

If it plays out like this and the Democrats are destroyed, then President Paul would probably put Cruz on SCOTUS.

I hope that is the case.

BTW pinging anyone to a very interesting thread which relates to this one:

Canadian Born Gov. Jennifer Granholm Was Naturalized In 1980. When Did Ted Cruz Naturalize?

Since Canadian born Ted Cruz has emerged on the scene in Washington as a future presidential candidate for 2016, attention has turned to whether he is Constitutionally eligible for Article 2 Section 1, the presidential qualification clause. This is what we know. Ted Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Many say that disqualifies him to be eligible for the presidency. Enter former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm. She was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I came across an interview she did with Fox News’s Chris Wallace in February of 2010. During the interview Wallace brought up the fact that since she was born in Canada, she wasn’t eligible to be president. Here is the transcript:

“GRANHOLM: No, I’m totally focused this year on creating every single job I can until the last moment. December 31st at midnight is when I’ll stop. So I have no idea what I’m going to do next, but I’m not going to run for president. I can tell you that.

WALLACE: Yes, that’s true. We should point out Governor Granholm is a Canadian and cannot run for president.

GRANHOLM: I’m American. I’ve got dual citizenship.”

With that said, I went to the biography of Jennifer Granholm and found that she was born to one American citizen and is indeed a dual Citizen who became ‘NATURALIZED’ as a U.S. Citizen in 1980 at the age of 21. Now this raises a question. How can a naturalized U.S. Citizen become president of the United States?
