Ted Cruz releases (obviously fake) birth certificate in preparation for Presidential run

[Capt. Obvious]

The circumstances of Cruz’s birth have fueled a simmering debate over his eligibility to run for president. Knowingly or not, dual citizenship is an apparent if inconvenient truth for the tea party firebrand, who shows every sign he’s angling for the White House.

“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,” said spokeswoman Catherine Frazier. “To our knowledge, he never had Canadian citizenship, so there is nothing to renounce.”

The U.S. Constitution allows only a “natural born” American citizen to serve as president. Most legal scholars who have studied the question agree that includes an American born overseas to an American parent, such as Cruz.

The Constitution says nothing about would-be presidents born with dual citizenship.

Where's the long form birth certificate Ted!?

2. It doesn't matter anyway. No one with an ugly, sneering mug like that will ever be President.

9. He could look dopey and affable, when he wasn't smirking.

Ted Cruz looks like someone you want to punch--just pure, unadulterated smugness and arrogance.

11. Good point. nt

3. Fuck these people are idiots

“To our knowledge, he never had Canadian citizenship, so there is nothing to renounce.”

The fucking moron was a Canadian citizen the second they cut the fucking cord in Calgary. Not that he has to renounce anything, you are allowed to hold dual Canadian and American citizenship.

I expect Orly Taitz and Donald Trump along with Sheriff Joe to fire off tons of legal briefs and citizen posse's to make sure that Ted is never allowed to run for President.

5. He needs the word of all things Birth Certificate the Great and Grand Donald.

May the orange haired one purse his lips and declare his truth for all as he bestows his unique wisdom to protect the Republic from foreign pretenders. May only the purest of the pure have "Hail to the Chief" used as a greeting. May Ted Cruz be recognized for what he truly represents even if it is only 47%.

6. This guy just looks like a

d-bag.

[onehandle]

7. He says he's American, but his father is Cuban (Communist) and he was born in Canada (Socialist)...

Who knows who his allegiance is to?

[Coyotl]

13. I guess that makes him a Tea Party Communist Socialist. Talk about a broad base of support ....

10. Where's his mother's birth certificate?

Was she really born in the US. Even if she was, did she renounce her US Citizenship when she moved to Canada? After all, Carnival's father renounced his citizenship from the country of his birth.
