But, wasn’t Obama’s mother an American citizen?

We haven’t seen the birth certificate for Cruz’s mother yet. Though he states she was born here, we need to see it.

Here’s a hit piece on it from Salon that lists all the problems - and is much amused given it’s the same issue raised about Obama.

Obama’s mother was an American citizen, but there were issues about her being from Hawaii and not a citizen for 10 years prior to Obama’s birth.

Main issue was that if Obama was born in Kenya, since both his parents were NOT American citizens, he was not eligible to run for president.

Now many of the folks that said that are saying Cruz is eligible because we like him.

I think it’s an issue for the Supreme Court to decide.
