As Ted Cruz gains traction amongst Republican voters, his opponents are pulling out all the stops to keep him out of the White House.
Apparently, the likelihood that the Texas senator will get the GOP nod and eventually become president is too much for one of Cruz’s fellow Texans. Indeed, this person is mounting the most serious challenge to Cruz’s campaign this past election cycle.
Houston attorney Newton B. Schwartz Sr. has officially filed a lawsuit against the Republican candidate arguing that he is not a “natural-born citizen.” The charge in question is very serious as if the relevant authorities rule against Cruz, his run for the presidency will come to a very premature end.

If Cruz was born in Canada then he can’t just give up his Canadian citizenship just because he want’s to be president of the USA. The rule states you must be a natural born citizen.
You have to thank Obama for this, he set a clear precedent that the President, or candidate for, doesn’t have to prove up his claim of being a “Natural-Born Citizen” Thanks BO.
He’s run by Goldmann Sachs, don’t buy into his$#%&!@* trump or Paul should be the only candidates
And Rubio is definitely not eligible
Just because Obama did it doesn’t make it not a violation of the US Constitution the Constitution needs to start being enforced to the T
Neither is Odumber
And O’Wammy is..?
Congressional Research Service Edit
In 2000, the Congressional Research Service (CRS), in one of its reports, wrote that most constitutional scholars interpret the natural born citizen clause to include citizens born outside the United States to parents who are U.S. citizens. This same CRS report also asserts that citizens born in the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, are legally defined as “natural born” citizens and are, therefore, also eligible to be elected President.[62]
A 2009 CRS report stated:
Considering the history of the constitutional qualifications provision, the common use and meaning of the phrase “natural-born subject” in England and in the Colonies in the 1700s, the clause’s apparent intent, the subsequent action of the first Congress in enacting the Naturalization Act of 1790 (expressly defining the term “natural born citizen” to include a person born abroad to parents who are United States citizens), as well as subsequent Supreme Court dicta, it appears that the most logical inferences would indicate that the phrase “natural born Citizen” would mean a person who is entitled to U.S. citizenship “at birth” or “by birth”.[63]
His Mom is American, makes him American & Canadian a dual citizenship.
You don’t know the law then. His mother was a citizen working for a oil company at the time of his birth, she got U.S. citizen ship for him as soon as he was born and moved back to U.S. When he was four. He is an American. It would be like Pastor or a missionary family not being a U.S. Citizen because they were born on a mission to another country or military persons family born out of our country serving for are country, No body complained about John McCain when he ran for president when he was born in Panama.
