Cruz is not eligible.
He is not a natural born citizen.
I dont care who says he is
Please provide the relevant sections of the U.S. Constitution that clearly and unambiguously define "Natural Born" as requiring two U.S. Citizens at birth.
Lacking that, Please provide the relevant sections of U.S. Federal Law that clearly and unambiguously define "Natural Born" as requiring two U.S. Citizens at birth.
Lacking that, Please provide the relevant rulings of the U.S. Supreme Court that clearly and unambiguously define "Natural Born" as requiring two U.S. Citizens at birth.
You won't because you can't because they don't exist anywhere except in your mind and in sources that are not legal or constitutional in nature.

Cruz is not eligible.Please refer to post #13. The author of same makes the rules. This is his home (in a manner of speaking). It's wrong to brazenly defy the Patriot who has generously provided this Conservative forum for us to advance the means to restore American Exceptionalism.
I stand with Jim:
Go Ted go!

Cruz will lose in primaries if only one RINO (Jeb or Chris or Mitt) remains in the race after SC primary. Cruz will split votes with Walker, Perry, Rand Paul, Jindal, Pence.

In Minor v Happersett, they explicitly did NOT explore the question of children of citizens born outside the country to citizen parents, so they made no determination about it either way, since the question before them did not meet that condition. They also made no determination about the status of children born in the country to non-citizen parents.
One thing they did address was the meaning of “natural born”, as defined in the common law, and they confirmed that there were only two classes, natives or “natural” citizens, and aliens, or “naturalized” citizens. There is not a third class, of those who are citizens at birth, but not “natural born”. So, as Ted Cruz never had to be naturalized, it appears he must be natural born, having acquired citizenship from his native U.S. citizen mother at birth.

Walsh has it about right, the morning book on Ted Cruz is that he is far and away the most able debater in the field. His national trophy to that effect certifies him the front-runner in that respect. His flawless performance for 24 hours or so on his feet in the Senate during his filibuster demonstrate under the most intense pressure and scrutiny that he is not prone to gaffes. He is not as some suggest a "bulldog" in his presentation, but he is tenacious in substance.
He will be fighting a two front war against the media as well as the deep pocket establishment wing of the Republican Party.
Godspeed, Ted Cruz.

I've cited Jim Robinson as an authority on the subject of Senator Ted Cruz's eligibility. Although that's more than sufficient for any thinking person, Constitutional Scholar Mark Levin explains that Cruz
is a natural born citizen. He does so logically and rationally with precision. That ought to end any further discussion on the matter.

I'm voting for Cruz because he's not black, and he's not gay.
And especially not a Gay Black.

If you can get elected twice as POTUS, with a father who was never a US citizen and not even a permanent resident, with a computer generated Hawaiian birth certificate, then certainly Cruz is eligible.

His flawless performance for 24 hours or so on his feet in the Senate during his filibuster demonstrate under the most intense pressure and scrutiny that he is not prone to gaffes. It sure is good to trade a few thoughts again, FRiend! It's been a while but I'm still an avid reader of your posts here.
To further your point, even the enemy is awed by Ted Cruz. Specifically, Chris Hayes of MSNBC, the leftist network, had to put his ego to the side and grudgingly admit that Senator Cruz is a man of intellectual heft. Here's what he said:
In October 2007, I sat in the media gallery of the United States Supreme Court and watched the Solicitor General of Texas [Ted Cruz] argue on behalf of the state that he should have the ability to put to death a Mexican national who had been convicted of raping and murdering two teenage girls in Houston. He won that argument and he was executed by Texas on August 5th, 2008, despite the objections of the United Nations and the International Court of Justice.
At the time, I had no idea who this man arguing on behalf of Texas was. but all I could think was holy crap, this guy is good. It was one of his nine times arguing before the Supreme Court and he was witty, incredibly fast on his feet and clearly had a brilliant legal mind. It is to this day one of the most impressive displays I have ever seen before the Court and I have had the good fortune to spend a lot of time there.
Here's a link to the video. The segment referenced above begins less than a minute in.
