Barack Obama AND Ted Cruz are natural-born citizens

Ted Cruz is just as eligible as Barack Obama ever was. Their mothers were American citizens; their fathers (of record*) were foreigners.

“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.”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.”

*My “birther” issues center on what I believe is a lie about Obama’s baby daddy. I think his real father was an American who knocked up Ann Dunham at the end of her senior year in high school and that this is the reason the Dunhams suddenly moved to Hawaii that summer. It was 1961. A single mom having a bi-racial bastard was easier to cover up in Hawaii than in Seattle. I think Obama’s real birth was probably in March and that the August date was faked up to make it possible for the handy and willing Barack Sr. to swap his name for a green card.
