I have seen some articles saying he is thinking about running in 2016 and says he is eligible even though he was born in Canada. Can anyone verify if that is even possible? If I remember correctly his mom is an American citizen and dad is a Cuban.

It's a great question, but on the face of it, I'd say no. He has his hands full with his immigration proposal, and it's not all rosy. It could really be a challenge for him to be a viable candidate if it fails. -

And yes, he could run. He was born in Canada to Americans working in Canada at the time. He's a natural American citizen.How do we forget ourselves? How do we forget our minds?

He'd be into his 80's by then and would be taken even less seriously. Time to let it go already.Originally posted by kbscobravert View PostComment

"Cruz isn’t worried that his birth certificate will be a problem. Though he was born in Canada, he and his advisers are confident that they could win any legal battle over his eligibility. Cruz’s mother was a U.S. citizen when he was born, and he considers himself to be a natural-born citizen.""When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

I don't see why not, considering Obama is a Kenyan.

A memorandum to Congress dated April 3, 2009, written by the Congressional Research Service (CRS), states:
Considering the history of the constitutional qualifications provision, the common use and meaning of the phrase "natural-born subject" in England and in the Colonies in the 1700s, the clause's apparent intent, the subsequent action of the first Congress in enacting the Naturalization Act of 1790 (expressly defining the term "natural born citizen" to include a person born abroad to parents who are United States citizens), as well as subsequent Supreme Court dicta, it appears that the most logical inferences would indicate that the phrase "natural born Citizen" would mean a person who is entitled to U.S. citizenship "at birth" or "by birth".[44]
