His mother was an American and the father renounced his Canadian citizenship. According to the law as I understand it, he still qualifies as an American.
You like Trump? Good for you. I like Cruz.
The Constitution requires the President be more than just an "American". One must be a Natural Born Citizen to become president.
I like the US Constitution, evidently Cruz doesn’t and wants to make anyone that has a American mom (or dad) a Natural Born Citizen. The definition of a NBC (IMHO) is tad more then just having a US citizen mom. If just having a US mom (or a US dad) is all you need then there are millions of NBC living all over the world. Particularly in places like Iraq, Korea or Vietnam where US forces served as occupying troops. Or in Iran and Saudi Arabia where rich Arabs “bought” US “trophy wives”. According to Cruz all of the children of the above are Natural Born Citizens.
