I meet those requirements.
Vote for me LOL

Seriously, I think it sucks that conservatives are looking for a reason to disqualify Cruz.

The guy has just gotten started and I like what I see.

I also like what Ive seen so far in Cruz but I also like the fact that the Founders of the Constitution designated requirements for POTUSA which they intended to keep any foreign influence, birth or otherwise, from the goal of ‘a more perfect union’. I believe the Founders spirits are not taking happily to what the current generation has done with that intent by stretching their words to include Obama. As to Cruz or any other person with a similar birth background for me it is a choice between choosing an individual, as people have done with Obama, or using the Founders intentions as argued before being specific as to ‘natural’ in the Constitution. As much as we,the USA, need people like Cruz, and there are others if allowed to come forward, we need to hold dearly the intent of the Founders and the Constitution they gave us. I go with the Founders.

I suspect many of those conservatives are birthers. They claim to respect the U.S. Constitution and want to see it applied evenly to political candidates regardless of political affiliation. In truth, birthers would bend or break the Constitution in order to fulfill their agenda of having Obama declared ineligible for the presidency and they would NEVER accept a SCOTUS ruling that declared Obama eligible.

IMHO, there is only one group of citizens whose NBC status cannot be questioned in any way: those born on U.S. soil to two citizen parents. About all others, we can make arguments for and against their eligibility for the presidency. Until the courts rule on whether or not statutory citizenship at birth qualifies as a NBC under the meaning of A2S1C5 of the Constitution, those with an agenda will shoot at any available target.
