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.
Cruz is potentially a great American Senator, but he is not a natural born citizen. A NBC is someone who is born in country to citizen parents.
Since he is NOT Constitutionally eligible for the office, I will NEVER vote for him should he run for POTUS, but I do hope with all my natural born American heart he is made Senate majority leader.
Clearly, the Constitution doesn't mean much any more, so y'all can be just like the demonrats and do whatever you like.

So, what you’re saying is that a dual citizen (or possibly a tri-citizen) = natural born citizen?
