Well, Cruz is running so that shows how YOU misread the words of the Constitution.
If he were ineligible he wouldn't be allowed to run. So, all this fuss and furor is moot.

Go tell your woes to someone who can DO something about it. It doesn't do any good to vent here for what is a DONE DEAL.

In a campaign interview during his freshman senate race, a GOP Texas State Committee member sat down with the young candidate to ask a few poignant vetting questions, and here are the questions and answers from that interview… (Redacted information is to protect the witness at this moment, but the witness is willing to offer sworn testimony)

Interviewer: “Hello Mr. Cruz, it’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is (redacted). I am a (redacted) County GOP Precinct Chair and you have my support and vote. I have one question for you if I may?”
Cruz: “Sure, go ahead.”
Interviewer: “What is your understanding of how one becomes a natural born Citizen?”
Cruz: “Two citizen parents and born on the soil.”

-- If he were ineligible he wouldn't be allowed to run. --

Who is the gatekeeper? I've read that either the GOP or Cruz certified each and every candidate as qualified, to the various state election boards. The NH heard and rejected a challenge to Cruz's eligibility.

So, for purposes of ballot access, the gatekeeper is the election board.

The constitution anticipates that the public could elect an unqualified candidate, and provides for actions to take in case the president elect is not qualified.

That's the way the system works in principle.

In practice, the system will capitulate to public belief. I agree with you, the fuss and furor is moot, except insofar as it affects individual voter's action in the voting booth.
