Here's a question I have. If Cruz had been raised in Canada, would you still think him eligible for President?

“Here’s a question I have. If Cruz had been raised in Canada, would you still think him eligible for President? “


It’s an outstanding question that few here would be willing to answer honestly.

Well since he IS a natural born citizen as the term is understood by 99% of people of that aren’t fruit loops.

The other 2 requirements are

35 years old

Lived in the US for at least fourteen years.

So there’s your answer. In your fictional scenario where he is “raised in Canada” he’s still legally eligible as long as he’s been a US resident for 14 years prior to Jan 20th 2016.

Now if you’re really asking would I WANT some (natural born) American citizen who’s spent half his life living in another country to be President and consider that person “fully American”, maybe not. My wants would not effect that person’s eligibility.

And that person is NOT Ted Cruz, the fact that Ted Cruz learned to go potty in Canada means JACK SQUAT, legally, morally, or in any other way.
