3) Goodbye to that pesky Canadian citizenship. Cruz has one potential roadblock to his candidacy: He was actually born in Canada. The Constitution doesn’t set that many restrictions on who can run for president. One just needs to be over the age of 35, have lived in the U.S. at least 14 years, and be a natural born citizen. What exactly is a natural born citizen? Good question. The constitution doesn’t define it. But the definitions include an individual born abroad to American parents. Cruz’s mother was from Delaware and so, under this definition, he would be qualified to run. Cruz has made a point of clarifying said qualification, and in August he even went so far as to renounce his Canadian citizenship after reportedly learning that he had dual citizenship.
