Donald Trump may be giving voters a bit of Déjà vu this week, as he brought up the issue of Senator Ted Cruz’s birthplace, and whether or not he can be President of the United States after being born outside of the country.
On the surface, the parallels to Donald Trump’s public fight with Barack Obama about his birth certificate are obvious, but the issue with Ted Cruz is much more complex.
While the place of birth for Obama was in question, as many believe he was actually born in Kenya rather than the United States, Ted Cruz’s place of birth is without question. He was born in Canada.
How he is eligible for president lies in vague wording from our constitution.
To serve as President, one must be a natural born citizen of the United Sates, nothing is mentioned about the actual place of birth. Because Ted Cruz had citizenship at birth — because he was born to an American citizen — many legal scholars agree that that he satisfies the legal requirements and can serve in the Oval Office.
If it sounds as if Trump is attacking Cruz, he is, but only slightly.
Rather than questioning his eligibility, he is questioning the logic behind nominating a candaite with which there is any doubt at all over his legal ability to serve.

Trump the man!!
Well no one listened last time, and we got stuck with a Kenyan moron determined to set up a dictatorship. Just because someone promises the moon, doesn’t mean they’re going to deliver on their promises. DO NOT ELECT A CONGRESSPERSON!
Curz May NOT be and natural born citizen. His Birth is far different than McCain’s Sen McCain was born in a military hospital. Cruz was probaly born in an Canidain hostpital, not associated with the US government. We should check this out now, and put an end to his bull. Harvard grad, lawyer, may be dumb as hell. My son was borned in Spain. in a military hostipal. His birth certificate had to go through the US State Department citizenship. Cruz??? Texas con man??? Maybe that’s why he recently renoune his Canadian citizenship after all these years???? CNN MSNBC FOX etc do your job…..
