Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas absolutely, positively cannot be president! He was born in Canada, which makes him a natural born Canadian, not a natural born American. Sorry, Ted, you can’t be both. It’s impossible. Just as you can’t pick your parents, you also can’t pick your “natural born” citizenry.Not a single U.S. president has ever been born outside the territory of the United States — an exclusion that is specifically designated in Article II of our Constitution and hits those like me pretty hard.
I came to this country at the age of 2, and like every kid in my class at Mae M. Walters Elementary in Hialeah, Fla., I wanted desperately to believe we all could grow up to be president someday.
We can’t. That’s the law. It says I, Rick Sanchez, cannot be president of the United States. We become “naturalized” citizens, which gives us all the rights of “natural born” Americans, except one.
I understand that law. I can live with it and am willing to play by the rules. Cruz cannot. He wants to make his own rules. His arguments are, however, neither sound nor worthy of exceptions.
