    Ted Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta and he ran for US President in 2016.

    I clearly remember Trump insulting Ted’s wife on the debate stage and then Ted tacitly agreeing and curling into a ball. Maybe Trump doesn’t remember because his memory is not so good.

    Anyways, Elon is President now because Rupert and Putin installed him.

      Now now. Canada has already offered it’s sincere apologies for Ted Cruz. No need to run salt in the wound and remind us of…our…excretions.

          Ugh. Well thanks for those neuropeptides. Now I need another a stiff drink and an edible to cope with family AND national shame.

          Maybe it’s high time we draw up a strategic dumbass limitation treaty between our great nations.

      On a more serious note: The constitution requires you to be born a US citizen to be President which Ted Cruz was, but Musk was not

      Shame that president-elect musk wants to try to break that

        I want to see the extra long form birth certificate.

        Either way, Ted was born in Calgary, Alberta.; and Trump is the one who’s wrong.

          You can be born elsewhere and be a US citizen, at a minimum if your parents are Americans and registered you at the Embassy.

            I wanna say it gets really tough, because “naturally born US citizen” is not further defined, as such, is inherently up to interpretation.

            So we don’t know, unless they try.

              Unless something drastic happens, for the next twenty to thirty years of the Supreme Court, I think it depends whether the candidate is a Republican or not.
