Cruz is eligible.

It is up to the voters to decide whether or not his loyalties are in question.

I agree on Cruz's eligibility, as the US recognizes only citizens at birth and naturalized citizens. There is no third type. Since natural born citizens are clearly naturalized, that leaves citizens at birth as the only possible category under which 'natural born' could fall.

Though in fairness, for those not born in the US the issue is at least debatable. Take a look at the debates on the eligibility of Mitt Romney's father when he considered a presidential run. The general consensus was that he was eligibile. But the debates appeared legit. They're summarized here:

Defining "natural born"

So what is a "natural born" citizen? The Constitution doesn’t specifically say.
In 2008, we reviewed research and polled several legal experts. The consensus was that someone is a "natural born" citizen if they have citizenship at birth and don’t have to go through a naturalization process to become a citizen.

If that’s the definition, then Cruz is a natural born citizen by being born to an American mother and having her citizenship at birth. (This same logic would apply to Obama, even if he were born in another country, which he wasn’t.)

You are entitled to your opinion, Kosh, not your own definitions.

OK, I will agree Cruz is eligible per constitutional definition; Steve is wrong. That makes sense. McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone; his dad was commander there, I believe.

As mediocre as has been Obama, Bush did launch the worst foreign policy debacle in our history by invading Iraq. Good heavens, what a moron.

Yes the far left believes the history of Iraq started in 2003..

And they still can not admit that Obama is worse. Including all his illegal wars. No due process, etc..

Like I said the far left will drone on...

Yeah, but with McCain the Panama Canal Zone wasn't US territory, nor was there any law regarding children born there until after McCain was born. I'd say that McCain falls into the same category of eligibility as Cruz: being a citizen at birth by way of his parentage.

Ted Cruz renounced his Canadian citizenship. His loyalties are not in question.

Has Cruz *actually* renounced his Canadian citizenship? Or simply said he renounced his Canadian Citizenship? These aren't the same thing.

If he said he did and didn't Harry Reid would have skewered him by now.

Maybe. Maybe not. Given how adamant that Cruz was that he'd renounce his natural born Canadian citizenship, you'd think he'd at least announce when he'd done it. Yet.....nothing.

 

[Siete]

no man or woman who actively promotes shutting down the Government should become POTUS. A fool like that gets pissed off and not much telling what can happen if he/she is responsible for making decisions that effect this country.

Shit on Rafael. Quote that.

Oh, I agree. But I wouldn't consider that a constitutional issue. More of a dumbass issue.

See the far left never disappoints and continues to back up my claims.

They can not admit when they are wrong!
