[Vision2020] Question, V-Peeps . . .

[Paul Rumelhart]

In reply to your question, assuming the following from the article is true: 

"The U.S. Constitution allows only a “natural born” American citizen to 
serve as president. Most legal scholars who have studied the question 
agree that includes an American born overseas to an American parent, 
such as Cruz."

Then I would have to say that, yes, he is eligible to run for President.  I am not a legal scholar, though, so take that with a grain of salt.

-------------------------------------

Section 1, Article II of the United States Constitution.

http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/articleii

"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."

-------------------------------------

Sen. Ted Cruz's birth certificate shows he was born in Canada in 1970. It was released exclusively to The Dallas Morning News.
