Have you ever seen a presidential ballot application? Right on it one must sign under oath that they are a ‘natural born citizen’, therefore, if he signed that he was, he committed fraud.

Maybe the GOPe could borrow a few election oath statements from the dims

Note the change in wording and subtle typo at the end of the second line (hint: "though" )

I'm late to this thread and haven't read through it yet, so I apologize if this issue has already been addressed.

If Cruz has reasonable grounds to believe he qualifies as a natural born citizen, there is no intent to commit fraud. No court in the land would convict someone under these circumstances.

The question of what constitutes a natural born citizen is clearly not as firmly established as some would want to believe. Cruz has lots of legal authorities who agree with his position.
