  1. I thought you had to be born in america to be President of the united states?
     
  2. seems you need to go back to grade school:roll:
     
  3. You have to be a natural born citizen of the United States of America in order to be the President of the United States. Therefore you have to be a citizen from birth, but not necessarily born here.
     
  4. Why do you have to be rude to me??Im asking real question because i was taught you had to be born here to become President you can only run for governor and stuff but not President?
     
  5. I google ted cruz he was born in Canada he shouldnt be allowed to run for President?
     
  6. His mother was an American citizen though therefore he had citizenship from birth.
     
  7. There was something special in his case. I don't remember what it was, but yes you must be born in the US yourself to run for president
     
  8. Like they said above, you have to be a natural citizen from birth. Children that are born abroad to U.S. citizens are afforded natural citizenship to the U.S. The only question about Cruz is that his father was already a Canadian Citizen and his mother shows up on Canadian Voter registration, which would indicate Canadian Citizenship. If it was different then McCain wouldn't have been allowed to Run in '08 since he was born in Panama.
     



  9. i wasn't being rude.. but you should have learned this in grade school
     
  10. you could do small search on the internet or ask your instructors, but meh guess you are lazy
     
  11. This is why the whole "Obama born in africa" thing doesn't even matter, his mother was an American citizen at the time of his birth therefore he was born a US citizen no matter where he was born
     
  12. Pretty much, and he's confirmed to have been born in Hawaii, and this is coming from a republican
     
  13. Well McCain was born on US base in Panama so therefore that makes him American.
     
  14. But nevertheless to U.S. citizens, giving him citizenship by blood
     
  15. Ohhhhh
    REKT son.
     
  16. Obama suckzzz

    I aint sayin that cause he African bruh
