I believe that Cruz is ineligible to run for pres.
At the time he was born, both his parents needed to be US citizens for him to be a natural born citizen.
That is why O-ahole is not eligible to be pres, but those in power don’t care.
Cruz’s eligibility would be front and center from day one.

Please provide the relevant passage(s) from the U.S. Constitution that clearly and unambiguously states that it takes 2 U.S. Citizen parents at birth for a citizen to be a "Natural-Born" citizen.

Lacking that, please provide the relevant U.S. Law(s) that clearly and unambiguously states that it takes 2 U.S. Citizen parents at birth for a citizen to be a "Natural-Born" citizen.

Lacking that, please provide the relevant U.S. Supreme Court Ruling(s) that clearly and unambiguously states that it takes 2 U.S. Citizen parents at birth for a citizen to be a "Natural-Born" citizen.

Your beliefs notwithstanding, there is no legal or constitutional rule that requires 2 Citizen parents to be Natural Born.

Doubt me?

Then provide the proof!

On my grandfather’s WWI draft card, he had 3 choices: “natural born”, “naturalized”, or “alien”.

Neither of his parents were citizens, and yet he was, without any need for naturalization because he was born in Brooklyn NY.

Do you believe the government in 1917 used a different meaning for “natural born” than what it means now?
