According to Wikipedia, he was born here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada in 1970. His parents both worked in the oil patch, so they must have been posted to Calgary at the time of his birth. His mother was born in Delaware and his father was born in Cuba, moved the the US in 1957 and become a citizen in 2005. Not sure of how the ‘natural born citizen’ rule works in this situation. I’ll leave it to greater constitutional minds to figure this out.

I would not be surprised if CCCPNN included the details from constitutional experts to ensure that whatever may leak about 0bama, they can claim that he is eligible, citing the example of Ted Cruz.

But Ted Cruz (as delightful as he is) is not and has not been elected to be POTUS. So you cannot use him as an example of why Obambam is legal.

Natural Born citizen is the child of parents who were citizens. I don’t know if one citizen parent is enough. But, probably that is OK, since the post in Canada was temporary. Her citizenship would pass to her baby.

Thanks for the info.
