Ted Cruz is not a strict-constructionist. Were Cruz really a strict-constructionist he would not be running for president. There is no way in he[[ that the son of a Cuban born in Canada is a natural born citizen of the United States under original intent.
If a voter (myself, for example) is looking for the closest thing to a strict-constructionist candidate, for whom should he vote if not Cruz?
The libs have been suing in state after state to keep Cruz off the ballot on the “natural born citizen” issue, especially in deep blue states. The courts have, in ALL cases, held that Cruz is eligible. At some point you may want to reconsider your position on that.
