In grammar school when they still taught American history and the US Constitution, my teacher explained to us that Congressman and Senators could be born in foreign countries but the POTUS had to be born in the US. His allegiance had to be to the US and only to the US.
Would you be as comfortable with Cruz if he were born in Yemen with a Muslim father and an American mother?

I am old enough to remember being taught in grade school government classes that you had to be born here to become president. I wish we still educated our young people in our schools. FYI, I was educated in the 50s and 60s,
There is no way in hell that the Son of a Cuban born in Canada to an American mother is a natural born citizen of the United States going by the original intent of the founders. In fact going by original intent Ted Cruz would not even be a citizen of the United States.

No I wouldn't.
But back in the real world to choose from we've got two home grown marxists, one lying amnesty pimp, a billionaire real estate developer that can't decide whether he's ronald reagan or Huey Long, and an america loving constitutionalist born to an American mom in canada
Who do you think I'll pick?
