Ted Cruz for President

Reader comment on item: Ted Cruz for President

Submitted by Michael Artwich (United States), May 3, 2016 at 03:39

Calgary Ted does not follow the Constitution. Read the eligibility clause in Section I of Article II of the U.S. Constitution: " 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....". Ted was born in 1970 to a Cuban / Canadian father and an American mother. Canada didn't recognize dual citizenship until 1977. Ted's parents decided Ted would be a Canadian born citizen of Canada.
