He must think that he is qualified and if he thinks that he is qualified then he will have the proof. Nothing so far indicates that Cruz would lie or obfuscate the law. He has a brilliant legal mind and has an IQ of 168 and a haaavaaad law degree. He went to Iowa so I think we will see him run and by the grace of GOD, I hope that he wins. If he is not qualified, I do not think he will run. We shall see.

He's qualified.

"It is not necessary that a man should be born in this country, to be 'a natural born citizen.' It is only requisite that he should be a citizen by birth, and that is the case with all the children of citizens who have ever resided in this country, though born in a foreign country."

- James Bayard, A Brief Exposition of the Constitution of the United States (1834)

Bayard's exposition, including his comments on Presidnetial eligibility, were approved by "The Great Chief Justice" of the US Supreme Court John Marshall, by legendary Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story, and by the almost-as-famous Chancellor James Kent - no less than three of our greatest early legal experts. It was also approved by "other distinguished jurists" as well.

These men knew the Founding Generation, and they knew what they meant when they wrote "natural born citizen."

Cruz is eligible.
