His mother was a born american. His father became a US citizen in 2005. Father was born in Cuba and became a Canadian after he left Cuba.
So if his father was born American and his mother became a US Citizen in 2005 (long after he was born and raised in her country) and his mother was born of, had him in and raised him in his formative years in, say, in Iran or Syria or N. Korea or China or Russia, then he could be US President?
If he's a citizen at birth, he's natural born. And thus eligible to be president. As there is only natural born (citizen at birth) and naturalized (citizen after birth).
Unless he's Puerto Rican. Silly, but true.
And Cruz was a US citizen at birth. And not Puerto Rican. Meaning he's eligible.
