Hey, there’s always a chance that Ted Cruz will run for the Canadian Parliament instead of President.

He released his birth certificate to the Dallas Morning News.

It shows that he was born in Canada to an American mother and a Cuban father.  There appears to be no special warning on the certificate that his father is batcrap crazy, which seems very unneighborly of Canada not to warn us.

Cruz says this document makes him eligible to be President of the United States, even with that whole batcrap crazy thing running in his family.

Now, here’s the rub.

What will the birthers say?

Interestingly, here’s what Canadians say.  Allison Christians, a law professor at McGill University in Montreal says of Cruz, “He’s a Canadian citizen. The question of citizenship is determined by the law of the territory in which you were physically born,” she said. “It’s not up to the Cruz family to decide whether they’re citizens.”

So, if he has to renounce his Canadian citizenship, will there be a gleeful ceremony among the Tea Party folks?  In French?  Does he have to kill a moose?

And, you know, that surely doesn’t look like the long form of the birth certificate.   Where’s the original?  Was he born under socialized medicine?  If so, does that make him a natural born socialist?

This is gonna be fun, y’all.

Thanks to John for the very cool graphic.
