Rafael Cruz: My Canadian-born son can be president [View all]

NASHVILLE—Rafael Cruz forcefully defended his Canadian-born son’s Constitutional eligibility to become president during a prayer breakfast over the weekend.

After a wide-ranging speech to the National Federation of Republican Assemblies here, a member of the audience told the ordained pastor that some conservatives worry that Ted Cruz isn’t allowed to run for president since he wasn’t born in the United States.

Rafael Cruz is from Cuba, and he and his wife were working in Calgary in Alberta, Canada in December 1970 when Ted Cruz was born. The senator’s mother, though, was born in Delaware.
