Perhaps I missed the intent of your post because I was a long time aware that Cruz’s mother was a USA citizen. However, your harsh response brings to the front of the discussion that Cruz’s father was a citizen of Cuba. As such your position seems to be that the father’s citizenship/national allegiance has no bearing on a child’s citizenship at time of birth, only the mother’s is controlling. I don’t believe a parental division is valid. As to another fact, Cruz was born in Canada and though some persons will argue that such has no bearing as to eligibility for POTUSA the fact that the father was not a USA citizen makes this a double whamy against eligibility for POTUSA. Having made my comment I believe that as of today Cruz has shown himself to be a person who believes in our Constitution and as such would serve the USA very well in some top level government executive position. In fact he seems to be so much better than Vatican Banker Roberts.

Actually that is not MY position that is the position of the US gov’t
nad fyi it is not limited to the Mother. R
Read the statute
Not sure where you think the harshness came in. I have not directed a single post to you
The reality is that Cruz is eligible to run for POTUS if he chooses and that is not yet a given
Why some people persist in being upset on the ‘ natural born” phrase is mystifying>
I understand what the founders intended but they did not put any protection of that phrase into our Constitution
and so we are where we are today
with a vile POS in the White House
and now some are wasting time questioning the eligibility or even the phase to use concerning someone how at this point has not announced he will run.
