The Constitution directly addresses the minimum qualifications necessary to serve as President. In addition to requiring thirty-five years of age and fourteen years of residency, the Constitution limits the presidency to “a natural born Citizen.”[SUP]1×[/SUP]1. U.S. Const. art. II, § 1, cl. 5. All the sources routinely used to interpret the Constitution confirm that the phrase “natural born Citizen” has a specific meaning: namely, someone who was a U.S. citizen at birth with no need to go through a naturalization proceeding at some later time. And Congress has made equally clear from the time of the framing of the Constitution to the current day that, subject to certain residency requirements on the parents, someone born to a U.S. citizen parent generally becomes a U.S. citizen without regard to whether the birth takes place in Canada, the Canal Zone, or the continental United States.

Lol no help required, Cruz won't be president, it's that simple. That's okay though, Cruz is the type of guy where even if he was a natural born citizen, he'd still be more useful to me in the Senate rather than the White House. Lol maybe just a fantasy, but way I figure we'll find a way to silently oust Mitch McConnell and make Cruz the Senate Majority leader.
Lol pretty sure the Lil Kremlin's opinion don't matter, and the Supreme Court has so far not ruled on it. So until that time a natural born citizen means you were born in America. Elsewise there would have never been the birther controversy with Obama seeing as his mom was a citizen. Tell Cruz to provide his birth certificate. If it says he was born in Canada, well tough luck for him, he can stay in the Senate and continue to amuse me.
Lol there's different kinds?
Sure Canadians are all right, just not for being president of America. I have watched Cruz for a while, liked his stance against Obamacare, NDAA, and the Iran Deal. Plus I like his wit, the Green Eggs and Ham filibuster amused me. I like Cruz enough to want to make him the Senate Majority Leader. Not everyone can be president, and president is not a leader. I am the leader and I will strive to make my government as technocratic as possible.
