was wondering about Ted Cruz because I really like the guy and think he would be a great President or vice President but he was born in Canada...so i looked it up and this is what I found When one parent was a US citizen and the other a foreign national,the US citizen parent must have resided in the US for a total of 10 years prior to the birth of the child, with five of the years after the age of 14. An exception for people serving in the military was created by considering time spent outside the US on military duty as time spent in the US. Cruz’s mother was in her 30s when her son was born in 1970, so she had lived in the United States as a U.S. citizen for the required number of years to confer U.S. citizenship on her son regardless of where his birth took place. So, yes, Ted Cruz is Constitutionally eligible to run for President.
