It would seem that the reasoning which would make Cruz eligible could also apply to Obama, even if the latter were born in Kenya, after all.
Cruz — born in Canada, but mother was US Citizen, so that makes him eligible?
Obama — born in [Hawaii/Kenya], but mother was US Citizen, so that makes him eligible?
Yeah. I don’t buy it. If the founders just meant citizen they could have said that instead of term “natural born citizen” which to me has to at least mean the person is born in the US.
