Barack Obama was questioned throughout his presidency about whether he was born on U.S. soil or, as the current president has claimed, born in Kenya. When Senator Ted Cruz was campaigning for the republican primaries, the status of his citizenship was also questioned. Here are the facts: Ted Cruz was born in Canada to an American mother, therefore, Ted Cruz is an American citizen. Fox News does an excellent job clearing this up in the link posted below. The New York Times also covers this controversy, while also highlighting the absurdity of Donald Trump's claims against Cruz. Fox News, on the other hand, refrains from throwing shade at then candidate Trump and sticks to a very "matter of fact" reporting style, which is rare for this particular outlet. Links to both articles are posted below.
