Yes, there is no doubt that Cruz was a citizen at birth.

True that, Cruz was a citizen of Canada of the USA and possibly of Cuba at birth, thus he was a born citizen, but the Constitution requires that he be more than a mere born citizen.

To become president, he must not only be a born citizen, he must meet the more restrictive qualifier of being a natural born Citizen. Obviously the two are not the same because the founders would not have added a totally meaningless and redundant word to the phrase. They would have simply left out the adjective "natural" if it did not further define and restrict the requirement of merely being born a citizen.

Of course, if Cruz is our standard bearer, I am voting for him, but I fear that the dems will wait until it is too late to field another candidate, then try to DQ Cruz because he was foreign born. I hope, if he indeed runs, that he has the good sense to seek a court ruling on his eligibility very early on.

Oddly, you don't mention that he was a citizen of the United States at all. I'm assuming you would mean that, too, and that your leaving it out was an oversight.

You have nothing in the supreme law of our land that defines 'natural born citizen' the way you want to define it. So, in that regard you are simply making things up.

If you have something from our law, then you will post it. Otherwise, you are simply posting your opinion, things you've read, surmised, imagined, wanted, or had suggested to you.

If it isn't from our law and it is your own personal opinion, then suffice it to say that the Congress of the USA, the body authorized by the supreme law of our land to make the decision what 'natural born citizen' means, hasn't placed any weight whatsoever in your opinion.

This is exactly the sort of thing I would expect from them, and they will miraculously find a way to get "Standing" because everyone knows the Judiciary is infested with Liberal worms.

Add to that the Media Trumpets all continuously running stories questioning his eligibility, and even if he wins the Judicial fights, they will have so badly polluted the waters that it might cost him the election anyway.

Unlike their prostrate coma regarding Obama's legitimacy, the media will work feverishly at questioning any Republican.

But there *IS* no better choice for us. We will have to figure out how to defang both the Presstitutes and the Judicial whores.
