Eligibility for elections is left to be determined - BY LAW - to state election commissions, which have always found that children of US citizens, regardless of place of birth, are eligible to appear on Presidential ballots.
State election commissions can't change the Constitution. And, in your scenario, to make the equivalent of Cruz's birth situation, a man could've sired a child with a Russian woman, she bore his child with a Russian birth certificate...who then may go on later to become our president.
Remember, the 14th Amendment does not allow you to discriminate against either men (the father) or women (the mother) in this scenario...nor does it allow you to discriminate against any other country of origin.
So, Cruz becoming president would DESTROY a key component of our patriotic rule by an unallowable precedent.
There's a lawsuit here folks. Mark my words... Cruz running is a democratic advantage..
One way you can really confirm this is the gigantic silence in the left media about Cruz's birth certificate...particularly because they should be screaming HYPOCRITES! from all corners of the earth. Remember what the GOP tried to do to Obama about his place of birth allegedly being Kenya, and, as such, he was not legally allowed to be president? Well, his being born in Kenya was speculation. Cruz's being born in Canada is FACT. And yet...nothing...nada from the left media.
Rachael Maddow should be shrieking, shaking, stuttering and smoking about this blatant hypocrisy...but she remains curiously calm and quiet about it. Weird. It's almost like the left wants the GOP to make this mistake early on...
