Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where his parents, Eleanor Darragh and Rafael Cruz, were working in the oil business.[8][9] His father was a Cuban immigrant to the United States during the Cuban Revolution.[10] His mother was born and reared in Delaware, in a family of Irish and Italian descent.[9][11] Cruz’s family returned to the U.S. when he was four years old./

His mother is from Delaware, his father is a cuban immigrant.

RE: His mother is from Delaware, his father is a cuban immigrant.

So what does the Constitution say regarding a scenario like this?

Born of an American mother and a LEGAL immigrant father overseas??

Washington, was born in Sulgrave, England in 1732, and was a robust lad of 10 when he immigrated to the Americas.

John McCain was born in Panama.

Upon reaching his majority, BHO had the right to claim American, British, Indonesian, or Kenyan citizenship.

Upon reaching his majority, Cruz had the right to claim Canadian, American, or if he chose for some reason to do so, Cuban citizenship.

A natural born Citizen would not have that right. But you know, I am not on retainer to the SCOTUS. It's just my opinion. The SCOTUS owes me some direction here. They have dodged one case after another that has come before them. It is not as if the lower courts have ruled on the merits of the issue. Lower and upper courts alike have refused to rule on the case on its merits.

The GOP attempting to use the Obama case as some sort of a "precedent" for Cruz, Rubio, Jindal, etc. is absolutely despicable. Just one (1) State AG could get this moving.

If we can take the House and Senate in '14 with a healthy enough number of non-RINOs, it might give this issue some impetus toward resolution.
