The eligibility requirement for President of the United States has never changed. If Ted Cruz is ineligible during the time of our founding fathers and the founding of our Constitution, he isn't eligible now.

Cruz supporters don’t care.
They claim to hold the moral high-ground, but they’ll crap all over the Constitution if it suits them.

If a half-black homosexual drug-addict taqiyya/kitman Mooslim Marxist “born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia” can be US president, anybody can be US president.

No, Ted Cruz was not eligible then, he is not eligible now. At that point in history, he would not even have been a citizen since the wife when marrying took the country of her husband. He would have been Cuban.
Laws have been changed since then and by virtue of his mother being American he is eligible to be an American citizen. Not however, a natural born citizen.

Per the Naturalization Act of 1790, Passed by the first Congress and signed by President George Washington, yes, Sen Cruz would be eligible.

Anyone who was a Citizen of any kind when the Constitution was ratified in 1789 was eligible to be president.
Now get off the forum, you big dummy.

And they shut the door on future presidents being foreign born for a reason.

Cruz would have been eligible, during the time of our Founding Fathers there was a strong claim by the USA to all of British North America, Canada was initially kept Tory Loyalist by a series of treaties.

He wouldn’t because at that time cirizenship was passed through one’s father. His father is Cuban and hence he could not be a US citizen. Je’d be Cuban.
But let’s suppose for a moment that the foundimg fathers were around today. Does anyone think for a moment that they would seriously consider a man who was born in Canada and thus has Canadian citizenship, of a Cuban father, and thus has Cuban citizenship, of an American mother and thus has American citizenship to run for President? Ted has essentially presented us with our very own Monty Hall problem in the 2016 election.

No he wouldn’t because that granted citizenship based on a father, not a mother...reading is the key to comprehension....
