A MUST READ...ESPECIALLY FOR CRUZBOTS...
by Sharon Rondeau
In regard to presidential eligibility, Article II, Section 1, clause 5 of the U.S. Constitution stipulates:
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.
The requirement was changed from simply “a Citizen” at the “hint” of Founding Father John Jay, who wrote to Continental Congress presiding officer George Washington in July 1787:
Permit me to hint, whether it would not be wise & seasonable to provide a strong check to the admission of Foreigners into the administration of our national Government, and to declare expressly that the Command in chief of the american army shall not be given to, nor devolved on, any but a natural born Citizen.
Many Americans who have studied the issue since Barack Hussein Obama’s eligibility was questioned in 2007 have concluded that the “natural born Citizen” clause is one of “national security.”
Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada on December 22, 1970 as evidenced by his Canadian birth certificate provided to The Dallas Morning News in August 2013. The resulting article, titled “Dual Citizenship May Pose Problem if Ted Cruz Seeks Presidency,” reported that Cruz was “at birth” born both a citizen of the U.S. and Canada.
Cruz’s father is from Cuba and reportedly became a Canadian citizen in 1973 while operating aseismic data-processing business during the oil-industry boom of the era. Cruz’s mother, Eleanor Darragh Wilson Cruz, was born in Delaware in 1934 and, according to her son, never became a Canadian citizen.

An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
