Correct--that is what I meant. I just mistyped.
In that era, I thought it was unusual for an attractive young woman to be married to a guy who was four years younger than she was although that appears to have been the case.

Looks to me as though under the statute there is room for an issue as to whether or not Kruz was really a citizen at all which would make him ineligible to serve as a U S Senator.
