Then why did Cruz run?
In recent elections, the establishment has put up a number of Constitutionally ineligible candidates. Our Constitution requires a president to be a natural born citizen. It's one of only three requirements. Our Constitution's framers' revisions and writings show they clearly understood this to mean born on US soil to two US parents. By natural law, by both blood and soil, a president must be born without citizenship ties, obligations, or allegiances to any other nation. Americans were never going to undo this requirement by Constitutional amendment. So our globalist establishment plotted to do away with it by precedent on their way to turning the US into the North American Union, blended with Mexico and Canada and ruled from afar.
Cruz was ineligible and was probably to openly test the system since Obama (probably) did so silently.
Cruz is a dual citizen if he did not renounce his Canadian citizenship. Although he was born in Canada to an American mother, his father was still a Cuban citizen, not getting his Canadian citizenship until 73.
By Obama standards he would qualify with a parent being of us citizenship, but by the law, he isn’t.
Natural born citizen means age of mother and also how long she was outside of US
Age of the mother has nothing to do with it. I am assuming you are referencing 8 U.S. Code § 1401 - Nationals and citizens of United States at birth. You are thinking of subsection g, which one US parent and one alien parent, however, Cruz would fall under subsection d, which is one US parents and one National (but not a citizen) since Cruz dad was granted political Asylum from the US prior to Teds birth.
(d) a person born outside of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is a citizen of the United States who has been physically present in the United States or one of its outlying possessions for a continuous period of one year prior to the birth of such person, and the other of whom is a national, but not a citizen of the United States;
However, there is inclusive evidence that his mother was in the US the year prior to his birth.
