Cruz renounces Canadian citizenship; still not eligible to hold office
According to Megyn Kelly, Ted Cruz has renounced his Canadian citizenship.
He was born in Canada; his father was a Cuban immigrant, and I still don't know if he became a citizen before Cruz's birth.
Cruz was not born on American soil, nor were his parents working for the U.S. government at the time. His father wasn't a citizen.
Therefore, like Obama, Ted Cruz is not a natural born citizen, and therefore ineligible to hold the office of President.
Okay, now start screaming about how terrible I am for insisting the Constitution be obeyed, now that it's a conservative who's ineligible rather than Obama...

But he's got a couple of years to change my mind. But a hell of a lot better than Christie or Bush, even though they might be a better fit as 'natural born'. I hope natural born doesn't mean you have to do it at home in a plastic wading pool with the help of a mid-wife only, and tie-dyed diapers.
I think that 3D gun guy has been quite the patriot
"Natural", back in the day, (also) meant that you could identify your father....

If you need an example to prove that people are not raised in a cultural vacuum, look at Obama.
"No person except a natural born Citizen, or a *Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution*, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty-five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."
They were citizens at the time of the adoption. Don't forget, we had the Articles of Confederation prior to the Constitution...
