He's doing fine where he is. There are many capacities in which he can serve this country. The office of President may not be one of them. Several times in the past, I've outlined one, just one, scenario wherein Ted Cruz could be deemed eligible. There are some “ifs” involved:
- If Ted Cruz’ father is found to have thrown off his allegiance to pre-Revolutionary Cuba, by taking up arms against it and ultimately expatriating, then there can be no foreign claims of sovereignty upon Ted Cruz at birth paternally.
- If Canada made no jus soli claims of sovereignty upon Ted Cruz at birth due to his having been born under Canadian jurisdiction, then there can be no foreign claims of sovereignty upon Ted Cruz at birth as a result of having been born outside US jurisdiction.
If it is found that these two “ifs” resolve favorably for Ted Cruz, then he is eligible.
If not, then he's not.
Excellent post. I do not want him taken away from me as one of the Senators for Texas. Cruz is doing an excellent job.
