Sen. Ted Cruz is not a Natural Born Citizen and like "obama" is not constitutionally eligible to be POTUS...BUT Congress does not seem to give a damm
Senetor Ted Cruz has just been sworn into office, and already rumors of a presidential run are swirling. Pundits are questioning if Ted Cruz is a natural born citizen eligible to run for president. Ted Cruz was born in Canada in 1970 of an American citizen mother and Cuban father. Although Ted Cruz was born in Canada, he is indeed a citizen, because of his Mother, but he is not a "Natural Born Citizen" because his father was not American.
This is the same birth particulars of Obama. Mother American, Father Nigerian. Here is the Constitutional criteria, for anyone to become president.
United States Constitution for election to the office of President or Vice President. This requirement was intended to protect the nation from foreign influence.
Who is a natural-born citizen? Who, in other words, is a citizen at birth, such that that person can be a President someday?
