This is all news to me, where was Cruz born anyway?

Born in Canada, to a US citizen mother. His dad came from Cuba (which sort of explains how Ted got so anti-leftist, doesn't it?) and IIRC naturalized as a US citizen after Ted was born.

I've gotta start paying more attention to what's happening on the political scene, scenery that I have deliberately tried to ignore in order to keep my mental and emotional health intact ever since Obummer was elected the 2nd time.

Get whatever rest you need in order to be a functioning warrior. 2014 Congressional elections are coming, and 2016 will be here sooner than you think.

And who is only a citizen thanks to a law passed by Congress in 1934. Before 1934, Ted Cruz would NOT be a citizen, yet Jeff has no difficulty at all swallowing the paradox of how someone could go from "non-citizen" to "natural citizen".

Jeff seems to think that Congress can act as an ongoing ad hoc constitutional convention. It's but one more examples of his lack of reasoning ability.
