The actual law in Customs and Immigration states:

One parent is a U.S. citizen at the time of birth and the birthdate is on or after November 14, 1986

The parents are married at the time of birth and the U.S. citizen parent was physically present in the U.S. or its territories for a period of at least ten years at some time in his or her life prior to the birth, at least five of which were after his or her 14thbirthday.If the U.S. citizen parent spent time abroad in any of the following three capacities, this can also be counted towards the physical presence requirement:

Serving honorably in the U.S. Armed Forces;
Employed with the U.S. Government; or
Employed with certain international organizations.


Additionally, time spent abroad by the U.S. citizen parent while the U.S. citizen parent was the unmarried son or daughter and a member of the household of a person who meets any of the three conditions listed above can also be counted.

If the child was born out of wedlock, see N-600: FAQ.

Ted Cruz was born on December 22, 1970

Ted Cruz's mother was born in Delaware and grew up in the US - covering the required 10 years. She graduated from Rice University in Houston, Texas - covering the 5 years after the age of 14 requirement. She moved to Canada during the 1960's, having spent more time than the requirement in the United States.

Because he took so long to make it public, they weren't sure he was actually born here, but had the form doctored to appear to have been from Hawaii.

I thought the same thing but then again, I don't care for Cruz or Obama.

Besides, Cruz is gunning to be someone's VP pick-- not Prez.

Because of hypocrisy.
Some Republicans hated Obama from the very begining and I will never forget that.

There are many people who will never forget that.

Probably for good reason, which is bearing itself out.

Retired Admiral James “Ace” Lyons - "Until you recognize Islam is a political movement masquerading as a religion, you’re never gonna come to grips with it. The Obama administration has a strategy. It’s very simple… It’s anti-American, it’s anti-Western, it’s pro-Islamic, it’s pro-Iranian and pro-Muslim Brotherhood.”

Yeah, cause there wasn't any reason to be against obama, right? I mean people couldn't have had political reasons to oppose obama. It's all because he's black. Right.

Ok.

Ok.

I didn't mention or even imply his race but he walked into office with people not even wanting to give him a chance from the begining. Again, that's all I said.
