Even though my #1 choice is ALLEN WEST, I think Cruz will make a good POTUS.

However, I do question whether or not he is a Natural Born Citizen. Yes, I understand that his mother is a US citizen, but his father isn't. Didn't the Founders intend for BOTH parents to be US citizens in their definition of Natural Born Citizen at the time the candidate was born rather than just one? What is the TRUTH here...can anyone provide me a link?

I know that Cruz was born in Canada, but I don't believe that the place of a person's birth had anything to do w/ whether they were a Natural Born Citizen or not, it was the citizenship if their parents instead. I thought that the Founders wanted to make sure that anyone who became POTUS was raised in a family whose hearts beat for America rather than another country.

Hell, Odumbo is not natural born, and HE wasn’t a problem for anyone on the left. That being the case, I honestly don’t think we need to look too hard at Cruz, given that the precedent has been set by Bammy.
