No
The only way for one to NATURALLY be a US citzen is to be born here of citizen parents.
No other possibilty.
If one is born with other possible citizenships, one cannot be a natural born citizen.
Born here of citizen parents.
Natural born citizen.
If one could be anything else at birth, one cannot be a natural born citizen.
Well, after all, they ran the same investigative report on 0bama too ... Oh, wait ....
The issue is not JUST the issue itself, but what the democrats will do with it in the general. And they will do plenty with it. We just do not need a candidate with this baggage, especially one who comes across, fairly or not, as a modern-day Nixon.
I can’t play the video here, for some reason. What was Drew Griffin’s conclusion? I would guess it was that Cruz is qualified.
With jOkeass, that ship sailed.
“Can Ted Cruz, a former Canadian citizen, be president?”
This is the same problem that Obama had, but the MSM refused to investigate & publicize.
I believe Obama held dual citizenship for the first 20 years of his life, and applied and attended school here as a foreign student. That’s why he hasn’t revealed his college records (aside from having poor grades as an undergraduate and probably having a record of being involved in very Left-wing student organizations)
Well this could happen.....
Cruz gets elected then invades and conquers Canada.
That’s a racist question!
Wouldn’t be an issue if he was a suck-up to the ethanol cartel, or better yet, ambiguous on abortion and the homosexual agenda.
<><> Cruz told Levin he used the Wall Street loans for the campaign/s TV ads......but these loans have never been reported as campaign related. Cruz does not need FEC permission to fully disclose the info. What is he hiding?
<><> In January 2016, the New York Times reported that Cruz and his wife had taken out low-interest loans from Goldman Sachs (her employer) and Citibank, and failed to report the nearly $1 million in loans on Federal Election Commission disclosure statements as required by law.[97] Cruz disclosed the loans on his Senate financial disclosure forms in July 2012, but not on the Federal Election Commission form.[98]
<><> The Wall Street loans were largely repaid by later campaign fundraising.....But a Cruz spox recently said no donors paid off the loans.
<><> A spokesperson for Cruz said his failure to report the loans to the FEC was "inadvertent" and said he would be filing supplementary paperwork.[97] (hat tip WIKI)
<><> During his 2012 Senate campaign, Time magazine reported on a potential violation of ethics rules; Senate candidate Cruz failed to publicly disclose his financial relationship with Caribbean Equity Partners Investment Holdings. Typically, Cruz called his failure to disclose these connections an "inadvertent" omission.[96] (hat tip WIKI)
neither cruz or rubio is a natural born citizen.
A natural born citizen is one who was born in the USA by parents of which at least one was a legal Citizen of the United States of America at the time of his or her birth.
That is why the party of the democrat fought so hard to perpetrate the lie that obama was born in Hawaiia.
Cruz has admitted that he was born in Canada, rubio while born in the US, neither parent was a US Citizen till he was two years old.
The media sets up a circular firing squad for Republicans to viciously destroy each other while downplaying any controversy between Democrat candidates.
No prominent republican candidate attacked Obama for the SAME failing as the Republicans are now attacking Cruz.
Perhaps Republicans are just too damn stupid to win the big prize.
You may now resume your idiotic, self-destructive crusade to elect Hillary.
I don’t know if he is eligible or not, but if he is then would it be true that a Iranian Muslim could take an American wife. Take her to Iran, Syria wherever and have a child there. Let’s say they move to America when the child is 15. If Cruz is eligible to be president so would this fictional person.
It is clear from the Canadian Citizenship Act of 1946 that Cruz is a natural born citizen of Canada.
No one has explained how someone can be a natural born citizen of more than one country at birth.
No one has explained how a person born with triple nationality meets the natural born requirement, with no foreign allegiances, of the intent of the US Constitution—see Jay to Washington 1787.
No one has explained how someone not born in America can be natural born, as by definition they were born under someone else’s jurisdiction. To this, Vattel made an exception—if you were born to a soldier serving out of the country in the service of the King to citizen parents, you were natural born. John McCain fit this description, as his father was in service to the nation and his parents were citizens.
Ted Cruz’s American citizenship comes from law—the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952. His mother met certain age and residency requirements prior to his birth. If he was born 40 years earlier, his mother could not even have passed her American citizenship to him. Therefore, no one disputes he has American citizenship, but that does not equal the pedigree of natural born.
There is nothing in the 14th Amendment that speaks to the term natural born, nor does it, nor can it, change the requirement for President. The author of the 14th Amendment, John Bingham, made it clear that the Amendment had nothing to do with being natural born.
We were taught in school 50 years ago that natural born meant born in the country of two American parents.
We have allowed that to now mean to be born in the country of one American parent(Obama—regardless of the fake birth certificate).
Now we want to devolve the definition to not even being born in America, of three nationalities, being a natural born citizen of another country and one American parent.
Nope, no divided loyalties are even possible there.
Let’s devolve it one step further for Rubio—born in America of no American parents, of nationals of another land.
Heck, let’s just make it open to all kids born anywhere in the world, even test tube babies of unknown origin. A true citizen of the world.
There is only one way Ted Cruz can be America's president; he must be elected.
What about Marco Rubio? This dude is an Anchor Baby. If Marco wins than alot of Anchor Babies can run for president. His parents were not US Citizens when he was born. Where is the attack on him?

The response starts rolling at about 5:30 minute point
A clear headed response from someone who investigated Natural Born Citizen from a law enforcement point of view.
1) NBC-a commonly known term in the 1700 and 1800
2) Derived from English Common Law
3) “Natural Born” modifies the word “Citizen”
4) “Natural Born” sets a class of person above another level of Citizenship.
5) Congress has the authority to naturalize Aliens, and not US Citizens
No.
