Canada-born U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz has made good on a promise to renounce his birth country’s citizenship—doing so amid speculation he could make a run at the White House in 2016.
Spokeswoman Catherine Frazier said Cruz’s action became official May 14 and that Texas’ junior senator received written confirmation at his home in Houston on Tuesday. She said the tea-party-backed Republican “is pleased to have the process finalized.”
“Being a U.S. Senator representing Texas, it makes sense he should be only an American citizen,” Frazier said in an email. …

It’s simple — Senator Ted Cruz is 100% American through and through and a dedicated Christian. The Kenyan Marxist muzzie sodomite, hussein obama, is 0% American. Period. End of story. Go Texas go! Go Ted go!
He was a citizen at birth, do you doubt that?
Stop while you’re behind.
I hate to bust your bubble but both had American citizen Moms. This is over. Sarah Palin is natural Born. Senator Paul is natural born. Find a natural born candidate and don’t waste your time heart and effort. We have a constitution. Sorry. I love him too.
Stop while you’re behind.
Absolutely. He was born in Canada. That ends it. We all hoped we could prove obama hussein was born in Kenya to an American mother. WAKE UP. Let’s don’t waste precious energy.
Really... please do it. You could call it "Cruz isn't Eligible".

LMAO. You baaad!

LOL.
That hussein’s so-called “mom” was a commie who for all practical matters gave up her citizenship. The great Senator Ted Cruz loves American. Why? Because he’s 100% American and, as a consequence, is dedicated to restoring the Biblical principles of the Founding Fathers.
He would be excellent. They are saying EXACTLY the same stuff trying to marginalize Ted Cruz that they said about Reagan when he was running.
(His parent’s were American citizens, so that makes him an American.)

Maybe you’ve not seen this thread...the one where The Boss, himself, says Sen Cruz is eligible...
Is Ted Cruz a natural-born citizen eligible to serve as president? [Yes! And I support him! JimRob]

The fourteenth amendment of the constitution, ( <---- Note that this IS the Constitution as amendments are part of the Constitution.)
in the declaration that 'all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside,' ( <---- See what the Supreme Court did? It quoted the Constitution.)
contemplates two sources of citizenship, and two only,-birth and naturalization. (<---- Do you see a magic third form of citizenship? You don't? You know why? The Constitution only recognizes TWO forms of citizenship. You are either born a citizen or you acquire citizenship through naturalization.)
Now, we all agree that Ted Cruz is a citizen of the United States. Was he naturalized? No. He was born a citizen of the United States. If that is the case, then he is eligible to be President.
Now you may argue that the Constitution says the magic phrase "natural born citizen", but the Constitution (same document) doesn't recognize a "special" form of citizenship. You are a citizen only by being born with citizenship or becoming a naturalized citizen. That is why the quote above makes clear with its line 'contemplates two sources of citizenship, and two only,-birth and naturalization.'
The argument is a farce and flies in the face of several rulings by the Supreme Court over issues of citizenship.
I hate to burst your bubble but Ted Cruz was born to an American citizen living temporarily in Canada. He’s a fully qualified natural born American citizen! Hope you don’t intend t be a problem child.
Go, Ted, GO!!
