Canadian-born Ted Cruz says “facts are clear” he’s eligible to be president

Dallas News

A few points about the article

  • Actually, Cruz said this:

    “My mother was born in Wilmington, Delaware. She’s a U.S. citizen, so I’m a U.S. citizen by birth,” Cruz told ABC.
    If there was more that he said, it wasn't indicated in this article.  Therefore, the title of the article is misleading.
  • I like Cruz's position on the immigration bill:
    In the Senate, Cruz has established himself as a leading opponent of immigration reform that includes a “pathway to citizenship” for millions of undocumented immigrants in the United States.

  • I found the article on Free Republic.  This is another case of how conservatives shoot themselves in the foot.  If the liberals can elect someone like Obama, why can't conservatives elect someone like Cruz?  Principles never stopped the left, why unilaterally disarm?
  • As for the legal argument about his eligibility, it should be about the law, not about what Obama had to deal with.  Obama wanted the controversy.  It doesn't take that much effort to produce a birth certificate.
