2. I still don't see how Cruz can run for President.

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.
Section 1 of Article Two of the United States Constitution


I have listened since 2008 from Tea Party-Republicans that a guy born in Hawaii is somehow not eligible to be President of the United States, so how can a guy actually and admittedly born in Canada be eligible?

So, the Cruz reactionary agenda if he got elected President mirrors the duplicity and deceit surrounding the circumstances of his birth. No surprise, huh?
