the possibility that Daddy not being a US citizen might disqualify Obama seemingly wasn’t “discovered” until around 2010 ...

I don’t remember there being an issue of O’s being ineligible (based on where he was born/who his father was) to be US President during the 2008 election either...but it could be that I just don’t remember.
Re: Ted Cruz...could the issue also be that his parents didn’t register his birth or declare his US citizenship when they lived in Canada or when they moved back to US? His parents may not have thought they had to do anything to declare his US citizenship. I don’t know...but I don’t understand all the issues of renouncing citizenship of another country.
Cruz's birth was immediately reported to the U.S. Consulate in Calgary and he was registered as a U.S. citizen at birth.
End of story.
The fact that he also gained Canadian citizenship by virtue of being born on Canadian soil is irrelevant under US law. It would have been relevant only if, upon reaching his majority, Cruz had opted to become a Canadian citizen rather than a US citizen.
