I agree that we need to get this thing settled, but I don’t see how we can settle it without settling exactly how Obama was made legitimate.

there is no way that if Obama is legitimate the Cruz isn’t.

What are the chances of opening up that can of worms after Obama has spent million hiding his facts.

The birth fact patterns are not the same. Obama had one citizen parent (mother) and claims to have born on US soil. Just being born on US soil is enough to confer citizenship at birth, regardless of the citizenship of the parents.

Cruz had one citizen parent (also mother) but was not born in the US. His claim to natural born citizen status stands on a different foundation from "born on US soil."

Just saying that a rule can be formulated that includes one, but not the other. Not saying that the rule does so, just saying that the two cases aren't similar so that if one makes it, the other automatically does. Cruz's claim is based on having one citizen parent, and that being sufficient, without more.
