Give it up Tom. John McCain wasn't born overseas, he was born in Panama
and there ain't no sea dividing the land between here and there. If
there is any constitutional question on this, it can easily be answered
by the Supreme Court with a 5-4 decision along party appointment lines.
It's a non-issue because he won't run, won't win the primaries if he
did run, and wouldn't win in a general election. All in all, it's a
moot point with the exception that it shows glaring bias on your part.
Whatever - see what you want to see through your donkey colored glasses.

Sen. Cruz held dual citizenship (Canadian and U.S.) until this past August.

Concerning "natural born" citizenship, our founding fathers, and the U.S. Constitution, Section 1, Article II of the U.S. Constitution (cited earlier) states . . .
"No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this Constitution . . . "
Apparently our founding fathers, judging by this passage, established a difference between a "natural born citizen" and a person with U.S. citizenship.
Furthermore . . ."The House of Representatives Definition of “Natural Born Citizen” = Born of citizen “parents” in the US."

Arnold Schwarzenegger became a naturalized US citizen in 1983. Ted Cruz became a US citizen at the time of his birth. The phrase "natural born" could be construed to mean "became a US citizen at birth". It's definitely not an open-and-shut case, though, because his father was not a US citizen at the time of his birth. Since there is no definition of "natural born" in the Constitution or in the writings of the founding fathers, we may never know without an amendment to the Constitution or a ruling by the Supreme Court. It would be difficult to show standing for Federal court, though, as previous cases against McCain have shown.

Yes, Mr. Rumelhart.Sen. Ted Cruz IS a U.S. citizen, a foreign-born U.S. citizen.

It's my understanding that this makes him a U.S. citizen "at birth" or "by birth". Again, I'm not a legal authority on this issue. It also apparently makes him a Canadian citizen as well, which doesn't factor in unless he's trying to run for Prime Minister.Again, not a legal scholar, and I've
pretty much reached the end of my knowledge on this subject, such that it is.Paul On Thursday, October 17, 2013 2:30 PM, Tom Hansen <thansen at moscow.com> wrote: I reiterate, Mr. Rumelhart . . .Sen. Cruz is not an "American born overseas". He is/was a Canadian born in Alberta.Se. John McCain is an "American born overseas", as he was born in a U.S. Navy hospital in Panama. "American born overseas" qualifies those born in American hospitals overseas as a consideration to the "natural born" requirement of the U.S. Constitution.Otherwise, children of U.S. service members (soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines), born overseas woukd not be considered American citizens.Ok?Seeya 'round town, Moscow, because . . ."Moscow Cares" (the most fun you can have with your pants on)http://www.MoscowCares.com Tom HansenMoscow, Idaho"There's room at the top they are telling you still But first you must learn how to smile as you kill If you want to be like the folks on the hill."- John Lennon On Oct 17, 2013, at 2:10 PM, Paul Rumelhart <godshatter at yahoo.com> wrote:Then perhaps you should be having this debate with those "legal scholars" mentioned in the article.Paul On Thursday, October 17, 2013 2:03 PM, Tom Hansen

that he is eligible, then that seems like the likely answer.In answer to your last question, the only thing stopping them is the common sense and good taste of the actual women involved.Paul On Thursday, October 17, 2013 1:43 PM, Wayne Price <bear at moscow.com> wrote: As a citizen, born of a US parent outside the US, I'd have to say yes he qualifies, and apparently so does Sarah Duggin at Catholic University.
