I understand folks are desperate for a Conservative POTUS to repair all the damage inflicted by Barry Soetoro.
But the ends never justify the means.
Cruz has proffered one piece of ID, a Canada birth certificate, to support his claim to US Citizenship(???)
Really!
Have we seen any US documents concerning Cruz? Why is no one pressing the question?
Would folks be okay if a Saudi Prince launched a run for POTUS, and just laughed off speculation he was not a US Natural Born Citizen?

Where is his CRBA? Where is his passport? Why doesn’t anyone ask his mother if she applied for Canadian citizenship at the same time her husband did. She lived in Canada for 8 years. Where did her other children live? Evidently not with her. How long did she live in England with her first husband? Why did it take 48 years for his father to become an American citizen after he first came to America?
All the documents needed, are in the open. At this point it is purely a question of law.
On the OP, the premise of it is that Cruz is trustworthy, even if some people find him unlikable. I think the suggestion the author makes is a good one - look past your instinctive "like" or "dislike" when deciding if the person will make a good president.
If you would care to look, instead of beating that some old drum, you could easily find his mother’s birth certificate, showing her to be an American citizen. If you are looking for a personalized declaration, addressed directly to you, and endorsed by every government official above the level of dog catcher since 1970, well, I don’t think you are going to find it. Sometimes you just have to accept that some blanket decisions regarding citizenship status are covered under existing law.

But the facts remain as you just stated them. This issue is NOT going away, no matter how many 10000-word posts in FR *prove* Cruz is NBC.
We have to win in November. We cannot do that with a birther cloud hanging over our candidate. Period.
