Cruz's Bid

From the BBC:
"Republican Senator Ted Cruz to announce US presidency bid"

Senator Ted Cruz is to set out on Monday his plans to run for the US presidency in 2016, according to advisers. The 44-year-old Texan is expected to announce his bid to seek the Republican nomination in a speech at Liberty University in Virginia. He would be the first Republican candidate to declare his campaign. Commentators say that Mr Cruz, a Tea Party favourite, splits opinion among his colleagues. Mr Cruz may go up against the likes of Jeb Bush, an early Republican frontrunner, and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, although they are yet to formally declare their candidacy.

Republican Senators Rand Paul and Marco Rubio have also hinted at their own White House interests. His eligibility to run for the White House was thrown into doubt after it emerged he was born in Canada, and he was forced to formally give up his dual citizenship last year.

^ Regardless of what you think of his politics he can not legally be President of the US under the Constitution. He was born in Canada (to a Cuban father and American mother.) Under US law only people born in the United States or it's territories can be President. It doesn't matter if they were born outside the country to two American parents or while officially stationed overseas for the US government. I am a military brat and know many people who were born while one of their parents was officially stationed to a US base outside the United States. They can never be President even though they were dependents of a soldier or government official and were made to be on that US base in a foreign country by the US government. I, personally believe that anyone born in the United States or born outside the US to at least one American parent should be allowed to be President. ^
