I am watching this story with amusement.
Wha we say inna JA, cock mout ketch cock?
Obama RUMORED to be born in Kenya to an American mother:
Demand his birth certificate immediately! He must show it! He should NOT be president! He is illegal! Strike his name from the books to preserve the dignity of the office!
Ted Cruz CONFIRMED to be born in Canada to an American mother:
SILENCE....then.... oh, its perfectly legal for him to run for President. his mother is American-born after all!
Huh? So why didn't we hear this over the last 5 years?
-------------------------------------------------------------
According to legal scholars, it's fairly clear that the fact that Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was born in Canada doesn't disqualify him from running for president.
"It's pretty clear that he's eligible because he was a citizen at birth," Peter Spiro, a law professor at Temple University who specializes in constitutional and immigration law, told CBSNews.com.
University of California, Davis law professor Gabriel Chin agreed "there's no question" that Cruz has been a U.S. citizen from birth.
In fact, Cruz's eligibility is even more cut-and-dry than Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain's eligibility was in 2008, Chin argues. Still, as Cruz started gaining notoriety within the conservative community, his presidential potential was at times mentioned alongside his ""birther" background. The issue finally reached a point this week where Cruz released his birth certificate (check it out here), as well as a statement saying that his allegiance is with America.

So, natural born DOES NOT mean you haffi born in the USA, or a US territory. John McCain born pon a navy ship near Panama, and Obama's mother is an American citizen. But, since Cruz is tea party bozo tis OK. Btw, it tek bout 8 months to renounce a Canadian citizenship.
