In reply to the discussion: How can Cruz run for president? [View all]hughee99
(16,113 posts)not everyone is clear on what the law is, or what Cruz's particular circumstances are. Cruz will no doubt provide some documentation (just like Obama did). The issue you'll see is when people don't believe the documentation (in Obama's case, the "birthers", because there are people who think this way that vote Dem too).
Personally, I don't think it really matters because I don't think he has a real shot at winning (though it would be great if he were their nominee). More to the point, though, anyone that spends much time raising objections to Cruz based on his citizenship status is wasting time they could be spending raising objections to Cruz for any one of the thousands of reasons he'd be a shitty president, whether he's from the US, Canada or Mars.
