A lot of articles written about Ted Cruz and his intent to run.
BUT.
He has the same Natural Born problem as Barry. His Dad was not a US citizen at the time of Ted's birth which makes him ineligible.
He was also born in Canada but that in itself does not make him ineligible.

Yes it does. If you are born out side the U.S. to non American parents, you can never be president. Just ask Arnold Swartzinagger.(I have no idea how to spell his name.)

From the Federalist Blog
http://www.federalistblog.us/2008/11/natural-born_citizen_defined/Extending citizenship to non-citizens through birth based solely upon locality is nothing more than mere municipal law that has no extra-territorial effect as proven from the English practice of it. On the other hand, citizenship by descent through the father is natural law and is recognized by all nations (what nation doesnt recognize citizenship of children born wherever to their own citizens?). Thus, a natural-born citizen is one whose citizenship is recognized by law of nations rather than mere local recognition.
Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, James F. Wilson of Iowa, confirmed this in 1866: We must depend on the general law relating to subjects and citizens recognized by all nations for a definition, and that must lead us to the conclusion that every person born in the United States is a natural-born citizen of such States, except that of children born on our soil to temporary sojourners or representatives of foreign Governments.*
When a child inherits the citizenship of their father, they become a natural-born citizen of the nation their father belongs regardless of where they might be born. It should be pointed out that citizenship through descent of the father was recognized by U.S. Naturalization law whereby children became citizens themselves as soon as their father had become a naturalized citizen, or were born in another country to a citizen father.
Yes, birth is prima facie evidence of citizenship, but only the citizenship of the nation the father is a member.

And he shouldn't run. If he does it will set a precedence and make it hard to uphold the constitution in the future.
