The only relevant part of your timeline is the one indicating the year of Ted Cruz’ birth to an American citizen mother. But you knew that, didn’t you?
By the way, you forgot to include the 1898 Spanish American War in your timeline. That’s about as relevant as the remainder of your items.
Trump: master of concern trolling.

Cruz’s mother was American at the time of birth making Ted American from my understanding.
So if China decides all the world are citizens of China that makes everyone ineligible for US President?
PING ing you to this thread.
I saw this before. Even though they SAY it is documented, they provide no documentation. For example, they provide nothing to support the absurd claim that Ted’s mother became a Canadian citizen other than referring to an NPR interview with Ted’s father, where he said that HE had applied to become a Canadian citizen.
This is nothing more than the same rehashed tripe, trying to present it as if it was actually evidence of something.
This is where I have problems with it. I could understand Rafael Cruz becoming an Canadian citizen. After all he was a Cuban citizen with little chance of returning there. He was working in Canada and probably expected to do so for the foreseeable future. So obtaining Canadian citizenship was logical. And I can understand Ted Cruz being a Canadian citizen, since Canada had birthright citizenship and he was born there. But it's the claim that Cruz's mother became a Canadian citizen just because her husband did that I'm doubtful of. Eleanor Cruz was an adult. For her to become a Canadian citizen then she should have gone through the naturalization process as well; being married to a naturalized Canadian wouldn't have done it on its own. And I've yet to see any evidence she did so.
Do. Not. Care.
He is eligible.
I will await word from Dr. Orly Taitz, Esq. who is highly recognized as an authority on such matters.
(First she must clear her calendar of dental appointments, and real estate transactions.)
That timeline of events isn’t comletely factual. It never mentions Rafael’s marriage to his
first wife which produced two daughters one of which is now dead. It never verifies any
Canadian citizenship for Edward’s mother although it speaks of Rafael’s US citizenship which
he finally obtains in 2005.
Having to go through multiple contortions of facts to provide a basis for a conclusion is an indication a problem.
The Constitution is a simple document. Natural means natural. It does not mean man-made. If Cruz is a US citizen as a result of a man-made law, he is not Natural Born.

Why experts say Ted Cruz is eligible for the presidency
Experts largely agree that Cruz, who was born an American citizen thanks to his mother's nationality, is eligible to serve as president. The U.S. Constitution requires that presidents be "natural born citizens," which Cruz is alleged to not be, since he was born in Canada. Cruz has the backing of most legal experts and U.S. case law, according to a 2011 Congressional Research Service study.
Since Cruz's mother was a U.S. citizen when she gave birth to her son, and even though the future senator from Texas experienced his first moments north of the U.S. border with Canada, until the age of 3, he didn't have to petition for citizenship. Cruz formally gave up his Canadian citizenship in 2014 -- prior to that he held dual citizenship status.
Now with Trump, it seems there is a way to work through this in a way that doesn't threaten to interfere with conservative victory in 2016. First of all, Cruz, while better on the entire spectrum of issues, is less capable of taking the purple states, and maybe a few of the blue ones, than Trump, in my opinion. You may disagree. Second, he is on our side on illegal immigration, which to me is issue number 1. If we don't ship those people back now, they will give the Democrats a majority from here to the end of time. Trump says he will do that. I believe him. If he does just that one thing, it gives conservatives a chance to compete on all the other things that we love about Ted in the future.
So, to me, the best of all worlds is a Trump victory with Cruz as Vice President. Cruz can deal with that issue as VP over the next 8 years, and it will be decided, finally and fully. Vice President is subject to the same requirements as the President, because the VP must be eligible to be President. Then, after it is adjudicated, he can run for president, and build on a foundation of a good economy, jobs for Americans, and a strong national defense. He can then address the other things, decentralization, social issues, judicial overreach, that an intellectual conservative cares about.
What I hope I don't see is freepers attacking Cruz or Trump viciously because they don't want the other to win. It is not helpful to our long term interests. I want either one to win, and I want our country to win. If one or the other is a deal breaker for you, you may be in the wrong forum.
Precedent has already been set that “Natural Born Citizen” does not conflict with citizenship in another country at birth. The Kenyan thug was (according to factcheck.org and some White House posts) a Kenyan citizen and a British citizen under similar rules to those that gave Cruz Canadian citizenship. That is not how I would have interpreted NBC, but Cruz meets the same standard as the traitor did, so he is legally eligible, plus Cruz loves America and supports freedom. That’s good enough for me, both legally and as a voter. Cruz has my vote.
Spoiling it for the democrats and the media. They were going to wait until Cruz got nominated before suddenly “discovering” that he was born in Canada. The media would then go 24/7 over it, raising doubts in the minds of just enough Americans to get them to vote for hillary.

Just more stupid trolling.
It gets tiresome.
Cruz will be our next president, it is abundantly obvious.
Those that hate conservatives, and Godly men will of course continue their Trump sycophancy ad infinitum.
Boring.
