...he wasn't even born in the USA.



Records show that he was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.



And that he even held dual Canadian US citizenship until quite recently when he renounced the former.



Given that much of America raised such a stink about Obama allegedly being a non-US citizen born outside of the country and perhaps in Africa, why is Ted Cruz allowed to run for president?



Or was the law changed? Or is Canada thought of as an exception?

At least one of the Republican's previous candidates, John McCain, though born outside the continental 48 states, was born in a US territory at the time. Even though the territory doesn't exist anymore - the Panama Canal Zone. But that still qualified him under US law to run as President of the United States.



Cruz should be disqualified since others have & since the Republican party raised such a ruckus about Obama. One of his rivals, Republican Donald Trump was especially vocal about Obama's dubious birth claims.

The law's the law, and all presidential candidates, regardless of party affiliation should follow it. Republican party can't demand the highest standards from the opposition party, and then allow it to slip with one of their own. Otherwise, they are hypocrites. This is something the Democrats can zero in on and use as a campaign issue against the GOP.

Eligibility 101 - Anyone born of an American citizen is automatically an American citizen .... end of story



next question Joey



maybe try "is anyone with a strange shaped nose eligible?"



Oh, and thanks for your courteously starting this one under "Politics"  .. another rule you think doesn't apply to you, right?

Yes. The McCain thing was extra easy as Military base is considered US soil under as it relates to US law.



Jeez, seems so many foreign born run for pres ... Canada, Mexico, Panama , Kenya

Not sure how our law works on that, but I "would expect" she would have citizenship via parents citizenship, assuming at least one was Canadian ... and dual (until a specific age) if one was not Canadian



I'm not 100 on that
