>>Unfortunately, Cruz was born in Canada and doesn’t qualify.<<
As of 2008 being born abroad is no longer an impediment to the Presidency.
I guess you didn't get the memo. That only applies to Democrats. All others need not apply.

Cruz’s claim that he is eligible to run for President is based on the Founders and the defintion of “natural-born citizen”. According to him, natural-born means a citizen at birth, as opposed to later becoming a citizen by the immigration and naturalization law.
He claims citizenship at birth, having been born to a fully, unequivocally American citizen mother, who happened to be working in Canada at the moment of his birth.
It is that parental status, rather than on which side of a border, that he relies on along with the Founders intent by using the term “natural-born”.
Not one “i” or “t” of HIS claim rests on what happened with other candidates, or has anything to do with 2008 or any other year.
It was never an impediment when both of the parents were American, despite the protestations of the FR Hair-Shirt-Club.
It will if the candidate is a Republican. Besides, the left swears on a stack of Communist Manifestos that Hussein was born in Hawaii.
