"No person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."

If you were a citizen at the time of the adoption of the constitution you didn't have to be natural born.

I thought Cruz was supposed to be a defender of the constitution. Why are his supporters coming up with all of these frivolous arguments to defend his ineligibility?

I can’t believe Cruz wrote that nonsense.

As you pointed out, this one's really ill-informed. If anything, it supports the case against Cruz. When he was born in Canada, wouldn't he have been given first a Canadian birth certificate when he was born? And with a Cuban father and a Canadian birthplace, wouldn't there have to have been a process to prove his eligibility for US citizenship?

If it's a matter of "which came first", Cruz loses that lottery, I'd think....but that's opinion. Someone's got to sort it out.

How do you know when a Lawyer is lying? His lips move.

Concurring bump...ironically it will likely be a wise Latina with NY values who declares Cruz eligible.

Who says this is a supporter?
Could be a person knowingly stirring up the pot.

Rather than prove he’s eligible, he continues practicing his college debating skills.

He can run to avoid, but eventually this issue will need to be resolved. The longer it goes, the worse it becomes for CRuz.

Just come out and say you’re a Trump supporter. Why hide it?
