So according to your theory, the hundreds of people born in Saudi Arabia to American mothers and Saudi fathers are all Natural born citizens, eligible to run as POTUS? Really!
if Trump should win..with all the enemies he will have(or we hope he will have)....he WILL BE challenged on his businesses record
if Bush should win..with all the enemies he will have(or we hope he will have)....he WILL BE challenged on the Iraq war point
if Carson should win..with all the enemies he will have(or we hope he will have)....he WILL BE challenged on his medical record
etc.
This is what the democrats do. All you are doing is bolstering the attack that the democrats will use.

Interesting article about why Mike Lee hasn’t run to endorse Ted Cruz
Jon Stewart?
You post on Free Republic?
All persons born abroad are presumed to be aliens. It is a rebuttable presumption. They (or their parents) bring their US citizenship claim to a competent tribunal, which adjudicates the claim. If the birth satisfies the statutory requirements, the person is deemed to be a (naturalized) citizen, and a Certificate is produced as evidence of the adjudication.
RE: I’m sure the Founders, when crafting the Constitution, said “yeah, born in Canada to a Cuban Father is OK with us”.
You forgot American mother.
Well, that’s a show stopper! :-) I have thought of this same issue myself.
I can hear the chirping of crickets now.
These people are morons.
Do any of you idiot birthers happen to be constitutional attorneys?
I didn’t think so...
Not to put too fine a point on this, but American citizenship is not “automatic” to a child born abroad. For example, had no one applied for US citizenship for Cruz, he would have zero proof that he was even eligible for such. Waving his mothers birth certificate at a border crossing or under the nose of an offical while trying to get a US passport would simply not work.
His mother would have had to do the following. There are links within the PDF to the other actions also required to attain that NOT-automatic US citizenship.

I think it is a very fair question to ask to see Cruzs CRBA. He has released his Canadian birth certificate, his mothers birth certificate and his renunciation document. But he has not released the proof that his US citizenship had been applied for and approved, and a CRBA issued.
Long before he decided to run for the presidency this year, he was saying the exact OPPOSITE of what he claims now and what he stated,first, means that he is is NOT a NBC!
You are right.
They are wrong.
He was not required to apply for anything.
We do not know for certain IF or WHEN Ted Cruz attained his US citizenship via a legal act or process at the US consulate in Canada.
Cruz acquired his U.S. citizenship at birth by U.S. statute. No action by the U.S. Consulate in Canada was necessary.
Cruz proved it when he obtained a U.S. passport.
Trump, believe it or not, is onto something. Cruz’s candidacy suffers a potentially fatal defect. If Cruz is nominated or elected, he could be disqualified. When Republican voters cast their ballots, they have to ask themselves: Is he worth the risk?
BOTH PARENTS MUST BE AMERICAN CITIZENS AT THE TIME OF THE CHILD'S BIRTH TO BE A NBC !
Who was naturalized, Cruz or his father?
“Cruz acquired his U.S. citizenship at birth by U.S. statute. No action by the U.S. Consulate in Canada was necessary.”
You are correct, sir.
By their genius, armchair quarterback legal analysis, they would agree that a baby born to an illegal Russian couple in the United States (a potential Yuri) could be President of the United States, but a baby born to two American citizens’ couple who vacationed in Cancun and unexpectedly gave birth could not.
Yeah. That makes perfect sense.
Where were all you birthers when the Kenyon born citizen was running for the same office?
300 billion people in America
I had no idea.
