Dear Guest: Your comments make the argument as to why this issue of who can Constitutionally run for President of these United States must be clearly defined and decided.
The issue of Obama's birth should have never been an issue. There is so much about Obama's journey to the White House that causes one to give pause. Powerful and influential people can fool all of the people all of the time. To wit: The Clinton's have up until now, and we still find Clinton groupies actually dismissing the current charges against her as bogus and a right wing conspiracy...but the topic is Cruz
Cruz in my view is not eligible. He gave up his Canadian citizenship in 2014. The fact that his father fought with Fidel troubles me for two reasons his citizenship and his politics. So the question in my mind? Is Cruz a Canadian, an American or a Cuban? His mother was born in America but his father was born in Cuba and Cruz was born in Canada.
For the sake of our nation's future I hope the decision is that at minimum an eligible candidate is one born in this country with one or both parents being natural born in America but both parents being legalized citizens. given my wish list I also wish a candidate had military experience
