and the Donald is on the case..
Real estate mogul Donald Trump questioning whether Texas Sen. Ted Cruz would be eligible for the White House given his Canadian birth.“If he was born in Canada, perhaps not.” Trump told ABC’s Jonathan Karl.
“I don’t know the cir stances. I heard somebody told me he was born in Canada. That’s really his thing,” he said.

McLiar was born in Panama and got his US citizenship through, IIRC, his father
His mother was natural born -- that's all it takes. See: John McCain.
panama canal zone was a US territory
it was not
"John McCain (born 1936), who ran for the Republican party nomination in 2000 and was the Republican nominee in 2008, was born at Coco Solo Naval Air Station[61][80][81][82][83][84][85] in the Panama Canal Zone. McCain never released his birth certificate to the press or independent fact-checking organizations, but did show it to Washington Post reporter Michael Dobbs, who wrote "a senior official of the McCain campaign showed me a copy of [McCain's] birth certificate issued by the 'family hospital' in the Coco Solo submarine base".[82] A lawsuit filed by Fred Hollander in 2008 alleged that McCain was actually born in a civilian hospital in Colon City, Panama.[86][87] Dobbs wrote that in his autobiography, Faith of My Fathers, McCain wrote that he was born "in the Canal Zone" at the U.S. Naval Air Station in Coco Solo, which was under the command of his grandfather, John S. McCain Sr. "The senator's father, John S. McCain Jr., was an executive officer on a submarine, also based in Coco Solo. His mother, Roberta McCain, has said that she has vivid memories of lying in bed listening to raucous celebrations of her son's birth from the nearby officers' club. The birth was announced days later in the English-language Panamanian American newspaper."[88][89][90][91]
The former unincorporated territory of the Panama Canal Zone and its related military facilities were not regarded as United States territory at the time,[92] but 8 U.S.C. § 1403, which became law in 1937, retroactively conferred citizenship on individuals born within the Canal Zone on or after February 26, 1904, and on individuals born in the Republic of Panama on or after that date who had at least one U.S. citizen parent employed by the U.S. government or the Panama Railway Company; 8 U.S.C. § 1403 was cited in Judge William Alsup's 2008 ruling, described below. "

so a clause in 1937 established him as a natural born US citizen the year after he was born. thanks.
lol

8 Reasons Why Ted Cruz NEEDS To Run For President In 2016
#8. Can Birthers Grasp The Concept of Irony (Or Spell It?)
Cruz was born in Canada, but his father was from Cuba and his mother was from the United States. By law, Cruz is most certainly an American thanks to his mother’s status. However, it’s not at all clear that he’d be considered a “natural-born” American citizen, which is what the Cons ution requires of any potential president. How beautiful would it be to file a legitimate lawsuit seeking and injunction to stop Cruz’s inclusion on the ballot because he wasn’t born in the United States. In other words, I cannot wait to utter the phrase, “Where’s the long-form birth certificate, Senator Cruz?”
#7. Sarah-Michele Bach-Palin
In both 2008 and 2012 we had candidates on the national stage that were the equivalent of a big ol’ double-bacon, quadruple patty cheeseburger with a side of gravy. Sarah Palin in 2008 and Michele Bachmann in 2012 represented the Tea Party perfectly. No clue about foreign policy, a sociopath’s cream dream of a domestic policy, and a massive dollop of bat crazy on top. By 2016 though, both Palin and Bachmann will be yesterday’s dumbasses, so a fresh dumbass will be needed. Enter: Ted Cruz.
#6. Hey, What’s the Worst That Could Happen By Electing a Right-Wing Ideologue from Texas?
If George W. Bush taught us anything, it’s that everything is bigger in Texas. Apparently that also applies to “lying about weapons of mass destruction,” “war mongering,” and “destroying our economy with idiotic tax breaks for the super rich.” Cruz could just be a continuation of our rich American tradition of electing right-wing morons from the Lonestar State.
#5. It’s the Quickest Way To End His Career in American Politics
Make no mistake, Cruz has no chance in of winning. That’s not why we want him to run, obviously. We want him to run because nothing stops your upward trajectory quite like an embarrassing presidential campaign — and Teddy’s would most assuredly be that, embarrassing. It’s one thing to run a rhetoric-fueled Senate campaign playing to your most rabid of base voters, but it’s a wholly different thing running on a national stage. Under the harsh lights of reality, Cruz will look like the partisan hack extremist he is, and therefore even if he’s able to slink off and sit in his Senate seat for the rest of his life, his influence and power will be reduced to doing local radio shows for whatever right-wing media outlet will have him.
#4. Texas Could Be Purple By 2016
The fact of the matter is that the immigration population — you know; the group of people that Republicans have tried so hard for decades to alienate — they are helping to drive the Hispanic/Latino population numbers up, up, up in Texas. If Republicans think by then that they’ll have made that much an in-roads with the Latino voters, they’re crazy. You don’t reverse thirty or more years of animus with one bipartisan immigration bill. Not that he’d get it, but assuming Cruz took the nomination, he could conceivably lose Texas if the state’s party balance has tipped enough. And how great would it be to see a Texas Republican lose Texas?
#3. It’ll Be Another Tea Party Embarrassment
The Tea Party can’t win a big election, and everyone knows it. That’s because even within the Republican Party they are viewed as extreme obstructionists who have no real concept of how to govern. They are only interested in shrinking the size of government, no matter how much damage they do to millions and millions of people’s lives. Everyone not actually in The Tea Party can see right through them though, and by 2016 they’ll have had another couple years to impress on everyone just how unhealthy their political ideology is for growth and prosperity. Cruz will be chewed-up and discarded within a couple months of the primaries starting.
#2. It’ll Be Awesome Watching His Chickens Come Home To Roost
All Cruz has done since he’s come to Washington is to irritate everyone. Sure, he’s reveling in his role of agitator now, but how does he expect to to garner support from anyone who can help bridge the gap between far-right zealot and mainstream, moderate Republican? He’ll tell you right now in 2013 he doesn’t need to be a moderate, but as Mitt Romney found out in 2012, you can’t run for a couple years as an extremist and then stop and turn on a dime, not in the age of the Internet. Every idiotic and pedantic tirade Cruz makes, every stupid conspiracy theory he floats in the press and on the Senate floor or in committee hearings will become fodder for his opponents’ campaign ads. And don’t think his Republican rivals will be above hitting him with the extremist card either. It’ll be a glorious bloodbath.
#1. Watching bags Fail and Flail Is The Best Part of American Politics
Okay, that’s not really true at all. The best thing about American politics is when it actually works. When we come together and get stuff done, that’s the awesome stuff right there. That being said, a good train wreck is always entertaining. Will Cruz tell everyone he can see Mexico from his backyard and therefore he’s an expert on foreign relations? Will he claim that being born in Canada exposed him to the evils of socialized medicine? Who knows? All we do know is that he will say some certifiably idiotic and untrue things, and we’ll be right there to cal him on it, every step of the way.

Donald Trump needs to take a class on American government. You can't run for president unless you were born on American soil. Calgary is not American soil. And seriously get over McCain's birther issues. He did not win so why ? Lord Obama won and is wonderful.
a conspiracy from the start, obviously . . .
one born to a citizen is a citizen, no?
So says my passport.
Actually, I'm sourcing Google...IMO...
Did Ted Cruz Just Learn He Is a Canadian Citizen?
http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slate...er_jcr:contentCanadian-born Ted Cruz is eligible to become the president of the United States. Born in Calgary to a mother who is a U.S. citizen, Cruz automatically became a "natural born Citizen," making him POTUS-eligible according to the vast majority of scholarly legal and historical opinion out there. Of course, we already know that the weight of such evidence isn't always enough to put such questions to rest. So, with that in mind, Cruz released his birth certificate to the Dallas Morning News on Sunday, a move aimed at quieting such concerns but one that may have unintentionally raised another one for the Tea Party favorite.
Cruz is also a Canadian citizen, according to the Canadian law experts the Morning News spoke with. Under the Citizenship Act of 1947, anyone born in Canada is automatically granted citizenship at birth unless their parent was a foreign diplomat. (Cruz's parents were not.) Or, more simply, as University of Montreal law professor France Houle put it: "If a child was born in the territory, he is Canadian, period."
There's nothing in the U.S. Cons ution that bars anyone with dual citizenship from becoming president, but the simple fact that Cruz could claim a Canadian passport or vote in a parliamentary election is unlikely to sit well with those who were already doing their best to dub him "Canadian Ted." Still, there appears to be an easy fix if Cruz wants one: He can formally renounce his Canadian citizenship by filling out a four-page form and paying $100.
Whether Cruz will do that, however, remains to be seen. As of Sunday night, his office claimed to be unaware that the Texas Republican is technically still a Canadian citizen. "Senator Cruz became a U.S. citizen at birth, and he never had to go through a naturalization process after birth to become a U.S. citizen," spokeswoman Catherine Frazier told the Morning News. "To our knowledge, he never had Canadian citizenship, so there is nothing to renounce."
If Ted Cruz became a "natural-born Citizen" at birth because his mother was a U.S. citizen, then Barack Obama also became a "natural-born Citizen" at birth because his mother was a U.S. citizen. They can't have it both ways. If it doesn't matter where Cruz was born, then it doesn't matter where Obama was born. For years, they have harassed Obama with false claims that he had been born in Kenya. Now that we have clear evidence one of their boys actually WAS born elsewhere, suddenly it doesn't matter.
I thought you had to be born on American soil whether it's one of the 50 states, a territory, an embassy/consulate, or a military base. Calgary is not any of those. Ted Cruz is out of luck. His mom being a native born American means nothing. That's his mom, not him. Nice try though.
nobody can define what the FF meant by "natural-born", like that ty grammer and comma in the second amendment.
