1. Cruz’s mother met the requirements for her to pass on US citizen ship to her son at the time of his birth.
2. Obama’s mother did not meet those requirements at the time of his birth so this is a big issue IF Obama was shown to be born outside the country. Of course, Obama maintains that he was born in Hawaii, and if that is true, it would not have mattered at the time. But to this date, the documentation he has provided has been suspect.
3. At this stage, with Obama having his second term nearing an end...it will soon be a moot point in any case. Realistically, even if he was shown to have not met the test at some future date, it will not undo what he has done.
I believe it is clear that Cruz meets the definition and will do just fine in that regard.
It will be hard for the left to make any issue of it in any case...but even if they do, from what I have seen...they will have no foundation for their argument.
When do they ever? The Left doesn't care if their arguments are sustainable; they know that Republicans will cower from the fight regardless of its veracity. It's just who they are now.

You must not have spent any time on the 6,000 "Natural-Born Citizen" threads that there are around here.
It's already a moot point. That is why I support Ted Cruz and refuse to abide by a rule that doesn't control Democrat malfeasance.
