Actually, I have to disagree. I freely admit that I am forming my opinion based on second hand information, but I believe the false answer in question was given to the question "were you born in the United States". Obviously the answer to that question in Cruz's case is "No" where he reportedly answered "Yes". It didn't ask if he was NBC, it asked where he was born. Presumably, a "No" answer would have triggered additional inquiries.

Sure as Hell Cruz knew the correct answer at the time. It cannot be argued that it was a "mistake" if that is really the question asked.

If those two things are true, that is administrative fraud. It really is not complicated.

Well, if Cruz believes he was born in the United States, then I guess it's okay. LOL. Thanks for your comment, I assumed that the question was simply "eligible" and "natural born citizen," but if it includes attesting to being born in the US, then indeed, it would change the argument about knowingly making a false statement.
