Now that we know Ted Cruz isn't a U.S. citizen, does his government shut downs seem to make more sense?

    Ted Cruz wikipedia >>>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Cruz

    "Born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada to an American mother and Cuban father"

    From what I've researched, both of his parents are citizens of US and that means their babies are going to have citizens of US. They moved to Canada because of his father's job replacement which means that they probably possessed visa such as visitor or business visa. They could have had permanent resident visa but that's unlikely.

    Confusing thing here is that both Canada and US allows dual citizenship. He might had been born with a right of being both citizens of Canada and US. But since they all left when he was 4, he lived in US ever since.

    "The constitutional requirements for a presidential candidate created by the Founding Fathers are concise but not readily clear.

    Two provisions are obvious: The candidate must be 35 years of age and a resident of the United States for 14 years. The third qualification: He or she must be a "natural born citizen."

    Ted is 45 and has been living in US for 27 years. "Natural born citizen", what does this mean? It doesn't state that he had to be born in US. His parents were both US citizens and his mother was "natural born citizen" of US.

    So from those reasons, he has right to be a candidate VERY LIKELY.
