While I have to admit there is a delicious irony to the whole rigmarole over whether or not Ted Cruz is actually an American citizen (what with all of the "birther" bullshit thrown at President Obama), one has to wonder just how hard up for news stories the national media is. I'm not a constitutional scholar, but the process is pretty simple: if you're born on foreign soil to a parent that has American citizenship, you're automatically an American citizen. Thus while Cruz is not qualified to be President, since he was born in Canada and his mother is an American citizen, he is imminently eligible to be the President.
It is a bit worrisome, though, that no matter how full of shit Donald Trump is, his words can turn what should be a non-starter into a major story.
Let's hope the voodoo only works on republicans.
