What is funny is that no one on this thread has even mentioned the Constitution and the very strong possibility that CRUZ IS NOT ELIGIBLE. jJust like children they run around pointing fingers everywhere sooner than admit that CRUZ was a CANADIAN CITIZEN when he was elected to the US SENATE.
The fact is that Cruz could live in Canada and be elected Prime Minister... Well, could have. He screwed that up.
He is eligible because one of his parents was a U.S. citizen and it was a principle of English law at the time the constitution was ratified that the children of English citizens born overseas were considered natural born citizens.
Some may argue that this would only have applied to the father in the late seventeen hundreds when the constitution was adopted. However, after the civil war the 14th Amendment was adopted which made it clear that all people born in the United States were citizens - not just men. And in the early 20th Century, many years before Sen. Cruz was born, 19th Amendment was adopted which granted women the last privilege that had been reserved to men - the right to vote. At this point any distinction that existed between the citizenship rights of men and women in common law at the time of the founders has been clearly amended out of the constitution. This is not due to any idea of a living constitution but through the amendment process set up by the founders.

Should Cruz get the Nomination will you go back over to DU and bash him some more??
(I rest my case your Honor!)
And why not then admit that Donald Trump inherited British nationality from his mother despite her US Naturalization status, since Britain does not recognize the US naturalization process as having any effect on British nationality?
Maybe that's inconvenient? Or maybe that makes trump a flaming hypocrite.

Cruz is not a natural born American citizen. People ile Levine are full of it by defending Cruz. Levine & Rush won’t even take a look at the reality that Cruz is not eligible.
