As per the definition used by the original framers of the U.S. Constitution, ratified on July 4, 1776, Republican Presidential Candidate Ted Cruz can in no way be eligible to hold the seat of President of the United States and should be considered nothing less than an illegal foreign entity attempting to breach and or ‘salt’ the White House via Canada and or Cuba.
In fact, not only was Rafael Edward Cruz, A.K.A. Ted Cruz, himself born outside of the U.S., but so was his father Rafael Bienvenido, making his campaign one-hundred percent null and void.
Sorry Ted if I crushed your pipe dream.
Indeed one could argue that Cruz doesn’t have to be born inside the U.S. to be president which is technically true, but this instance is only valid if Cruz’s father were to be a “natural born citizen” as laid out by the renown Emer de Vattel in his 1758 book Law of Nations. But that’s just it — Ted Cruz’s father was not a “natural born citizen,” fully disqualifying Cruz to be the next POTUS altogether. Make no mistake, Cruz is not an eligible candidate.
However, despite the evidence, Cruz tried desperately to circumvent this issue, in an attempt to hide it from the public by filing for a “renunciation” of his Canadian citizenship on May 14, 2014.
That’s right Cruz rejected his Canadian citizenship in 2014, when he set his sights on the White House.
Taking a look at the Constitution, ratified June 21, 1788, one can clearly see our forefathers intentions.
Article 2, Sec. 1, Clause 5 reads:
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.
So what is a natural born citizen?
A top litigation attorney explains:
“A natural born citizen is one who is born of citizens — so a natural born citizen inherits his citizenship from his parents. Just as he inherits his eye color he inherits his citizenship. No provision in the Constitution makes him a citizen and no act of Congress makes him a citizen. Just as no provision in the Constitution or no act of Congress determines his eye color — it’s inherited from his parents — it’s in his blood.”

If Obama was eligible then Cruz is, it's the exact same scenario.

All Cruz would have to do is release the CRBA form and that would end all debate, as then he would be considered a natural born citizen.

Does anyone really think these two guys would have bothered to run if their entire campaigns could be undermined so easily? Does anyone really believe that campaign analysts, advisers, and lawyers would have agreed to work with/support both if they'd be disqualified?
Big money is being thrown around on these two, and the people throwing the money employ very smart people...

Obama was born in the USA, Cruz was not. It did not matter the nationality of Obama's parents, he still is a natural born US citizen.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

I think it's a calculated risk that requires a moderate "test" of the law. It is similar to the "test" of the same law that was seen when McCain, born a military baby in the US' Panama Canal Zone, ran 8 years ago... It was *believed* they'd win a challenge, but ultimately they had to know the challenge would happen at some point.
