Why was Obama given so much flack about this very thing? His mother was natural born as well. I'm not really understanding this. IMO, He wasn't born here naturally, he should not be allowed to run. Where his mom was born really shouldn't count. Where he was should.
Lawyers say Canadian-born Cruz eligible to run for president | Fox News
"While questions about Canadian-born Sen. Ted Cruz’s eligibility to be president haven’t drawn much attention, two former Justice Department lawyers have weighed in with a bipartisan verdict: Cruz, they say, is eligible to run for the White House. Neal Katyal, acting solicitor general in the Obama administration, and Paul Clemente, solicitor general in President George W. Bush’s administration, got out in front of the issue in a Harvard Law Review article. “There is no question that Senator Cruz has been a citizen from birth and is thus a ‘natural born Citizen’ within the meaning of the Constitution,” they wrote."
"The law review article, “On the Meaning of ‘Natural Born Citizen”, asserts that the interpretation of the term was settled in Cruz’s favor as early as the 1700’s. The lawyers wrote that the Supreme Court has long used British common law and enactments of the First Congress for guidance on defining a “natural born citizen.” “Both confirm that the original meaning of the phrase ‘natural born Citizen’ includes persons born abroad who are citizens from birth based on the citizenship of a parent,” they wrote. They concluded someone like Cruz had “no need to go through naturalization proceedings,” making him eligible. Cruz is still weighing a presidential run.
"Last month, Cruz addressed the citizenship issue during a question-and-answer session with moderator Sean Hannity, of Fox News, at the Conservative Political Action Conference. “I was born in Calgary. My mother was an American citizen by birth,” Cruz said. “Under federal law, that made me an American citizen by birth. The Constitution requires that you be a natural-born citizen.”

Obama wasn't given flack for being factually born in another country. Obama was given flack because of the false claim that he was born in Kenya. Please don't try and confound the issues. I'll say this, it'll be great going through all of those "Obama is a Kenyan" threads. It'll be better finding the hypocrites who claimed that being born to an American parent in Hawaii didn't make a citizen. I wonder what they'll say now.
Hillary is probably too busy right now trying to climb out of this hole she dug for herself to worry about Ted Cruz.Still, those who complained about Pres. Obama now have the chance to show their "fairness" and to complain about Cruz.
That isn't what the Constitution says. The Constitution requires one be a Naturally born citizen.I would agree Cruz is eligible to run for president since his mother was a US citizen, regardless of where he was born.

Let him run... he has no shot a winning, so he will spend tons of money and provide comic relief during the campaign. He does a great Dr. Suess.
The law is clear: one has to be born within US territory to be eligible for POTUS. Anyway I doubt Cruz would win if he ran so its a moot point.
It will be telling if those that claim Obama isn't a citizen will buy this about Cruz. I expect they will. However it will once again expose them as racists since whether born in Kenya or Hawaii, Obama's mother was surely an American citizen.Lawyers say Canadian-born Cruz eligible to run for president | Fox News

Which doesn't matter to him not being a Natural born citizen as required.It will be telling if those that claim Obama isn't a citizen will buy this about Cruz. I expect they will. However it will once again expose them as racists since whether born in Kenya or Hawaii, Obama's mother was surely an American citizen.
If Ted Cruz has no shot of winning, then this country is in worse shape than I thought.

Of course that is what I said.Are you saying that Obama is not a Natural born citizen?
And why divert from Cruz being ineligible for the Presidency.
We all must feel sorry for Majority Leader McConnell, with the four headless horsemen Cruz, Rubio, Paul and now Cotton .
Hawaii is not a foreign government which is where Barack Obama was born. Neither is Kansas, which is where Obama's mother is from.Of course that is what I said.
Just as McCain wasn't.
Obama is not the offspring of citizen parents and he was born owing allegiance to a foreign government.
Had you been paying attention you would have also noticed I said that the issue has never been addressed by the Supreme Court.
Its actually the other way around. If an idiot like Ted Cruz even stood a chance in hell of winning....this country would be in really really bad shape. Fortunately.....America is not that bat ass crazy
