“If Mr. Obama was eligible then Senator Cruz certainly is.”
IANAL, but it is my recollection that Barry’s mom was much younger than Ted’s. In 1961 the statutes, case law, country of birth and marriage status of the mother (in which country?) could give a different result regarding the US citizenship for Barry.
POTUS eligibility is a second question distinct from citizenship for both Barry and Ted in our nation under our Constitution and is distinct from eligibility for being a senator.
Why does the Constitution specify a distinction if it didn’t mean for there to be one? Just what is that distinction in Ted’s case today for senator v. POTUS?
