A possible candidate is born: Sen. Ted Cruz a ‘wild card’ for GOP presidential bid

by Seth McLaughlin-The Washington Times | published on August 20, 2013

Sen. Ted Cruz has released his birth certificate, visited the states that traditionally open the Republican presidential race and cemented himself as one of the few no-holds-barred foes of Obamacare.

Taken together, the moves signal that the 42-year-old Texan — elected to the Senate less than a year ago — is seriously considering a run for the White House.
“I think Cruz is in and he is serious and he is going to be a tough out,” said Mike McKenna, a Republican strategist. “He is going to be the disruptive force in 2016. Cruz is the 2016 wild card now.”
On Monday, Mr. Cruz looked to put to bed any questions about whether he is eligible to run for president by releasing to The Dallas Morning News his birth certificate, showing he was born in 1970 in Canada to an American mother, giving him both Canadian and U.S. citizenship. By Monday evening, The Washington Post was reporting that Mr. Cruz plans to renounce his Canadian citizenship — clearing the way, apparently, for a White House bid.
The decision to release the document put him in a similar boat as President Obama, who in 2011 released his birth certificate showing he was born in Hawaii in 1961 after “birthers” claimed he was born outside of the U.S. and therefore has been illegally calling the shots from the Oval Office.

Get this strait Ted Cruz is great but he can't become the President of the United States ......When did Canada become part of this Country what does that have to do with this ....Both his parent were not American born, was his father born in America, NOOOO, he was born in Cuba. Being born in Canada would give him dual citizenship simply by being born to an American mother ... Being President requires being born to two American born citizens. I like Ted Cruz but facts is facts!!!I brought over this birth certificate at another link somewhere here but can't find it so I brought it over again with the link provided below the birth certificate! Don't let them pull this bull crap on you again about being born in Canada etc it is all crap just like Obama being legal to be President is...These two men are the same....His mother was an American born citizen ....but his father was not!!!! RING A BELL!!!
