Once again the question as to whether Ted Cruz has a constitutional right to run for President of the United States is in the news. Donald Trump, who strongly pursued the argument that Obama was not an American citizen and therefore could not be President, is now stating a similar argument about Cruz.
On Twitter yesterday, Trump tweeted, “If Ted Cruz doesn’t clean up his act, stop cheating and doing negative ads, (I’ll) sue him for not being a natural born citizen.” He also tweeted, “Do Americans really want a Canadian born president? First non-native born in history?”, as well as “…natural born means born on American soil.”
Trump may not have to file suit as one has already been filed by five Cullman County, Alabama voters who are seeking a judgement stating that Ted Cruz is not eligible to run for President of the United States. They believe there is enough evidence that Cruz is a Canadian citizen and therefore not an American citizen.
Do they have a valid case? Read more on page two about the lawsuit against Ted Cruz.
Question: What are the Requirements to Become President?
Answer: The US Constitution lists three requirements for any individual wishing to become president of the United States. A president must:
1. be a natural born U.S. citizen. Someone may be born abroad, but only if both parents were citizens of the United States. The only exception to this was for those around at the time the Constitution was adopted. Their requirement was that they had to be a citizen when the Constitution was adopted.
Someone naturalize by congressional statute only has “citizen” status, not natural born citizen status. He fails no matter what because he was. born on foreign soil.
Connie Williams exactly, Cruz is the same asArnold Schwarzenegger
Natural born on foreign must have both parent US citizens. His father was a Cuban citizen. He was NOT born on US soil. He didn’t give up his Canadian Citizenship until about a year or so ago
time wasters
A person doesn’t need to be a citizen to be a senator. He gave up his CANADIAN citizenship about a year or so ago. CASE NOT CLOSED. Question: What are the Requirements to Become President?

Dan. Cruz was born a Canadian to Canadian citizen parents. His mother renounced her citizenship in 1966, and even voted in Canada from ’66-’74. Eduardo was born in 1970, and dual citizenship wasn’t allowed and nonexistent in Canada until 1977. Hmmmm?? Why are his US and Canadian records sealed? Him and his mothers naturalization papers would be interesting, even though he’s ineligible by most of the other criteria. Rubio is also ineligible, because his parents didn’t naturalize until he was 4. That makes him an anchor-baby. Ineligible.
Good
Good he isn’t a citizen.
This will probably go to the scalia absent supreme court for the decision to disqualify Cruz. Once done trump will more than likely succumb to a heart attack induced by vacationing rest and buried at sea or cremated on the spot without performing an autopsy. It escapes me why Ferguson Michael brown had an autopsy to determine cause of death but not justice scalia. Investigations up the wazoo by us unjustice department to declare the killer of Michael brown but not ,,,,,,,, oops never mind , I’m flaunting my ignorance here.
