If you're a fan of Texas' Tea Party Senator Ted Cruz and you're worried he might face a birther problem should he decide to run for president, you can rest easier knowing that Fox Nation has his back. Unlike with President Obama, Cruz's spokesperson's word is good enough to allay concerns about his citizenship. Let's compare and contrast.

Here's the article about Cruz, posted March 11:

The post excerpts an article by Washington Examiner's Byron York. York quotes a note from Cruz' spokesman saying he's a "citizen by birth" and then goes on to say: 

The bottom line in the case of Cruz, who was born in Canada in 1970, is that his father was an immigrant from Cuba and not a U.S. citizen at the time of young Cruz’s birth, but his mother was born and raised in the United States.  The law in effect then, and now, made Ted Cruz a U.S. citizen at birth.  Although the drafters of the Constitution did not define what they meant when they required an American president to be a “natural born citizen,” it is generally thought that “citizen by birth” is the best modern-day equivalent.  On that basis, Cruz appears entirely eligible — if he ever chooses to pursue the White House.
