“Cruz was born to American parents living in Alberta, so while he’s technically a naturalized U.S. citizen, which is a requirement to run for president”

Oh, dear. How many inaccuracies can you fit into a single sentence?

Only his mother was an American citizen.

Naturalized citizens can run for president. For that matter, so could Vladimir Putin, or anybody else. They’re just ineligible to serve if elected.

If Cruz is naturalized, he’s not eligible to be president.

Personally, I take natural-born to mean a born citizen, but opinions on the matter differ.

Maybe the Founding Fathers believed the story that Julius Caesar got his name because he was born by Caesarian section, so they wanted to guard against a President becoming a dictator by insisted that only persons born naturally could be elected.

More likely they didn't want a foreigner to be able to come here and become President. They were wise--just look at all the harm Obama has done.

So far none of our Presidents have been naturalized U.S. citizens.

Since when can a “naturalized citizen” run for president ..?? I’ve never heard of that.

President and Vice President must be natural born citizens .. of which TED CRUZ is one.

Anybody who says different has an agenda .. to keep people from voting for him. Disgusting. But, it proves whatever candidate you’re supporting .. they must be a loser.
