Cruz said in an interview with Fusion that because his mother is an American citizen he is a citizen as well.
"I was a U.S. Citizen by birth and beyond that I'm going to leave it to others to worry about...legal consequences", he said.

Before I offend you, please know that I call everyone “darlin’.”
“Cruz. Is. Not. Eligible.”
He is according to the laws on the books and it always has been that way, so your opinion does not change MY constitution.
“Before I offend you, please know that I call everyone “darlin’.””
Offended? I’m not the thin skinned one. I take no offense to Darlin’. Hell, I’m southern!
I never said it was the only definition, but it does clearly point out a definition the founders intended. Darlin’.
I read the thread and I watched Ted Cruz do his filibuster. As I said, he’s great. One has to wonder about his wife’s activity in the stock market though.
I’m too cynical anymore to just take the skyrocketing rise of any politician as a stroke of luck....it doesn’t happen. See Sarah Palin for an example. She was a fluke but a great Christian woman who won the hearts of many but will never be elected. IMHO

“It makes no guarantee that citizenship granted pursuant to a statute is equivalent to citizenship granted by the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.”
No it doesn’t. It says nothing of the sort. Title 8 Section 1401 is the law regarding citizenship. Mind showing us where in that law such as thing is said?
“She was a fluke but a great Christian woman who won the hearts of many but will never be elected.”
The same was said of her before she became Governor of Alaska. So your opinion means as much as those statements made then, nothing.
“One has to wonder about his wife’s activity in the stock market though.”
Typical liberal troll, just like the last one on this thread that just had to try to drag his father into it. Can’t beat Ted so you try to beat up on his family. Trying to sow that FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt).
Sorry, sucker, you’re just an obvious troll.
“This is either purposeful ignorance (refused to read the thread) or purposeful lying.”
Lying. Liberal trolls do that: They try to taint people through association when a direct attack doesn’t work. Liberals are incredibly predictable that way.
Frankly, we don’t give a rat’s ass what these liberals think. They wouldn’t vote Republican if their very lives depend on it, and it does. So who cares what they think. I just don’t want their comments to appear here on anywhere I visit without opposition.
“It was to conform with the grandfather clause in the Constitution, that’s why they repealed it 5 years later and changed the ‘natural born’ language to read citizen of the United States.”
Just your opinion but not fact.
So, what you’re REALLY saying is, you’re VERY concerned ?
Sorry, sucker, you’re just an obvious troll.
******
And you are a fool who alienates good Christian conservatives with typical name calling.
Just like a Liberal. No wonder we are losing this country.
Well said, and you're right, I know some great birther conservatives. Most of those that aren't too Pharisaical about this issue understand what you said, particularly about Cruz. They are willing to understand that the framers would likely really approve of Cruz and have disdain for 100% of the democrat candidates (and many R's) who pass the "both parents have to be citizens and the kid has to be born in the US" test (how in the world is Hillary better than Cruz?). More important, they wanted someone who wasn't entangled with another philososphical basis (like Hillary or zero), they wanted someone who would try to further the entire constitution, further the dream of America as founded, allowing the pursuit of happiness to flourish as it was intended.
Right now, there are few who would do that as well as Cruz. If he runs, I'm going to support him.
“The United States Code that you quote is statutory law. “
You obviously do not understand law. You quote a manual as a legal statement. “But judge! There is a manual! Some clerk took time to write it so it is LAW dammit!{temper tantrum, feet stomping ensues}”
Yes.
I’m concerned that I can’t tell who to trust anymore.
I’m concerned that we are conned by slick politicians.
I’m concerned that we have more people on welfare than we have working.
I’m scared for my country.
Yes.
I’m deeply concerned.
Again, you confuse naturalization with natural. Sorry, that case doesn’t hold here.
I’m glad you openly admit about being so very deeply concerned.
“And you are a fool who alienates good Christian conservatives with typical name calling.
Just like a Liberal. No wonder we are losing this country.”
We are losing this country because people are uneducated, lazy, and greedy. I put you in that category. You haven’t a clue what the founders wanted for a candidate yet you claim Cruz ain’t it because you read it on the Internet. If it wasn’t on the Internet you wouldn’t have the position that you do. I don’t believe a word you say about concern for the country because all trolls say the same crap. You haven’t even read this thread or any arguments about his status, you simply want to throw in with the rest of the trolls desiring to destroy Cruz’s candidacy.
Pretend to sniffle all you want I ain’t buying your bullsh*t!
“*sniff*sniff*”
This thread is outing the trolls. They can’t help but to try to comment. NO self control like typical liberals.
“And you are a fool who alienates good Christian conservatives with typical name calling.”
They ain’t good and they ain’t conservative bashing Cruz this way, so I doubt they are even Christian!
