I assume Ted Cruz IS a natural born citizen. [View all]

Nevertheless, he should as soon as possible make available his Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America (CRBA), just as President Obama made available from the first a proper legal proof of his birth in Hawaii to a mother who was an American citizen.

His CRBA probably in a safe deposit box somewhere. Shouldn't be a problem.

On the other hand, if there isn't any such document, then he isn't a citizen of any kind, but an illegal alien.

He really ought to make that CRBA available.
