The 42-year-old Cruz has yet to publicly announce his intentions, but in front of a microphone he talks mostly about big-picture national issues, with most of the presidential buzz coming from supporters.

The Democrats will demand a special investigation into the circumstances of his birth. But the media will not call them “birthers”. In fact, the MSM will demand that the Constitution be adhered to...and Cruz be disqualified.

Wait and see.

I love Cruz, but it’s WAY to soon for him to run for president.

Maybe in 2020, but for now, I like him right where he is.

We don’t need to lose another great conservative leader of the future like we did Palin because they are pushed to run too soon.

Fox again gets it wrong on Eligibility.... of course they have always been Obama Supporter and attacked Birthers on the Eligibility.

There is a way to make Cruz eligible.... but the Obama Supporters need to back off and help Birthers get Obama’s Birth Certificate.

I would like to see Cruz become President....but the same PhonyCon Obama Supporter Anti-Birthers will be the ones trying to fight the Cruz nomination based on Eligibility..... you can bet on that

As usual this thread will promote the back and forth with lots of cites as to what the constitution/laws/statutes say or mean. But in reality it matters not a whit what is said or cited here. The only thing that matters is what nine black robed members of the SCOTUS proclaim. If and when they do make a proclamation then we’ll know. Otherwise let him throw his hat in the mix if he so chooses.

“The report states “the weight of scholarly legal and historical opinion appears to support the notion that ‘natural born citizen’ means one who is entitled under the Constitution or laws of the United States to U.S. citizenship ‘at birth’ or ‘by birth,’ including … those born abroad of one citizen parent who has met U.S. residency requirements.””

The report is correct. The problem with Hussein is, if he was born in Kenya and his mother qualified by US laws in effect at that time about residence, but she didn't register the baby as American, then someone faked a Hawaiian birth certificate and he is still a citizen of Kenya.

We know his Social Security card is a fake. Hussein himself is a fake. His whole life is a fake.

his first five months in the Senate

What an excellent qualification for the most complex executive role ever devised.

Why do people rush to the latest golly, gee wiz, new kid on the block, Conservative and promote push for a Presidential run? Are we that surfeit of leaders?

Sen. Cruz is a good lawyer, knows the law, is an American Patriot, and knows he isn’t eligible under Article II. Same as Barack Obama.....pResident asterisk.

Get a life folks! Sen. Cruz can best serve the nation that he loves right where he is....in the Senate. Ne seems to be doing a bang up job since joining it!

"Cruz has excited the Republican Party’s conservative base during his first five months in the Senate..."

I'm encouraged by Senator Cruz, but he's far, far too new at this point to be considered for president. Plus, the man is a senator, not a governor. Do we have any evidence that he can actually lead? I think that remains to be seen, but I do give him high marks on ideology.

lots of ignert FReepers here this morning. Ted was not born here AND his father was not a US cit.(before Ted’s birth?).

I know that part of the constitution. I will be Teds best supporter for Senator or Governor but his worst enemy if
he runs for prez. If he is not qualified - we still keep
going down the tubes as a country. All you CruzBots need
to give it a rest here on FR.

I really wish that they would make the rules that not only does the President be born in the United States but EACH of the parents and grandparents must be to. Three generations of family members born in America should not be too difficult to ask especially since only 45 people have been President. I don’t want a President who was not born in America.

As long as a Republican representative signs his eligibility form...just like Nancy Pelosi signed Obama’s.

To be a natural born citizen both of your parents must be US citizens.

This means Barack Ubama is not a natural born citizen, and is therefore not eligible.

The precedent, however, has been set.

Ted Cruz is not a natural born citizen, but that requirement has now been discarded.

He doesn’t meet the requirements, so he cannot run.
