Nope. The law to be a natural born citizen and thus be eligible to run for president is that the citizen must have been born on U.S. soil, one of the territories of the U.S. or on a U.S. military base. If not, the child has to be naturalized as a U.S. citizen. Furthermore, the U.S. parent has to be over the age of 18 and have lived continuously in the U.S. for at least five years as an adult. STANLEY Ann Dunham doesn't qualify because she didn't live five years as an adult in the U.S. If she had a child by an American citizen, than she wouldn't have had to naturalize Obama but Barack Hussein Obama I was not a U.S. citizen and never became a U.S. citizen. In fact, he was thrown out of the U.S. after his stint at Harvard in which he married another white U.S. student whom he had two sons with. The elder Obama was probably a bigamist just with the white women he married. He also had at least one Kenyan wife, so he's probably a polygamist. Amazing, all those wives and kids and he didn't raise a single one of his kids and he probably never changed a diaper either.

Ted Cruz was born in Canada. Not a military base, or territory, but straight up Canada. He ran in 2016. If he wasn't eligible to run, they wouldn't have allowed him to stay on the ballot.

Ted has an American mother. Obama has an American mother. If Cruz was allowed to run, then Obama was legally eligible to run as well.

Now, if she wasn't Obama's mom, or she denounced her citizenship, then we'd have an issue.

Those of us who understand the constitutional requirement of being a natural born citizen did not think Ted Cruz was eligible to run for President either (Don't forget that back then he was "Lying" Ted).
