There are plenty of things left unexplained by the Constitution.

For one, “general welfare”.
For two, “natural born”.

So despite your attempts, I don’t feel a bit bad about loving what Ted Cruz has to say and hating his attempts at presidency.

I don't give a fat rat's ass how you "feel" good or bad about anything.

Just prove that Ted Cruz is not a natural born citizen by using the original vehicle that says, "natural born citizen" the Constitution.

Since you have admitted that you can't prove it, please, state that it is JUST your OPINION of his right to be President.

“...There are plenty of things left unexplained by the Constitution...”

And here we get to where your argument has no merit and is merely your opinion. And regardless of whether I agree with your opinion or not, unless you can point to the relevant SCOTUS or US Code that defines “Natural Born Citizen” in such a manner as to exclude Cruz, all you have is a layperson’s opinion which has no bearing on deciding Cruz’s eligibility.

And opinions vary. *Dramatically*. Especially the opinion of those who validate “who” gets to be on the official ballot.

I’ll be honest and say that I prefer the definition of NBC commonly held during the time of the founding fathers and english law. However, as to presidential eligibility, *clearly* neither of those hold any sway today. If you want to change it, you’ll probably have to resort to amending the Constitution to add your desired definition in order to remove the current commonly held, perfectly legal and widely accepted wiggle-room.
