If there is anyone familiar with our Constitution and laws, it might be Ted Cruz, who memorized it in high school and served as associate deputy attorney general at the United States Department of Justice, Texas Solicitor General, first Hispanic, and the longest-serving solicitor general in Texas history.
As a US Senator elected in November 2012 when he was 41 years old, Cruz met the 30-year age and Texas Inhabitant when elected requirements.
We will leave the 9-year US Citizenship issue for further discussion, though it seems his political opponents might have raised it in 2012.
Cruz will be 45 years old in November 2016, old enough to be President. Based on public information, Cruz has been a US resident for more than 14 years.
Therefore the only constitutional impediment is whether he is a natural born Citizen.

This has been an issue for several potential and actual Presidential candidates.
Barry Goldwater was born in Arizona before it was a state.
George Romney was born in Mexico.
Henry Kissinger, SoS, fourth in line for Presidential succession, was born in Germany.
Arnold Schwarzenegger was born in Austria.
John Sidney McCain was born in Panama, though potential Democratic opponents — Obama and then-Sen. Hillary Clinton —
co-sponsored a Senate measure to settle McCain’s eligibility. The April
2008 resolution said, "John Sidney McCain, III, is a 'natural born
Citizen' under Article II, Section 1, of the Constitution of the United
States." It passed unanimously.
Several people still filed legal challenges to McCain's eligibility that were refused hearing by courts, partly because of lack of legal standing.
Barack Hussein Obama was either born in Hawaii or Kenya to an American mother and British colony born father who became a Kenyan citizen:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama,_Sr.
He released birth records described as forgeries by members of law enforcement and allegedly by Obama attorneys"
After 55 years in law enforcement, 'I think I know a fraudulent document'.
Presidential Candidate Donald John Trump also raised the issue of Obama's eligibility. As a presidential candidate, he would have standing to challenge Cruz. http://www.wnd.com/2015/07/sheriff-joe-affirms-obamas-birth-certificate-fake/
Dozens of lawsuits from both parties were filed challenging Obama's eligibility. Obama allegedly spent $1.7 million in legal fees fighting them and keeping his birth and education records sealed.
Most cases were dismissed and none was heard by the US Supreme Court:
Russian Israeli emigre US Citizen Orly Taitz, who claimed Cruz, Jindal and Rubio are ineligible as not natural born citizens, came close to SCOTUS and Justice Alito, trying to stay a $20,000 fine levied by an irritated Judge in one of her many Birther cases:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orly_Taitz
One eligibility case noted two certificates of candidacy were filed by DNC Chair Nancy Pelosi, one certifying Obama's US citizenship and one not, with the second distributed to all 50 states:
The real issue is whether one American parent can provide US natural born citizenship to a child born outside America.
The first Congress of the United States passed the Naturalization Act of
1790, just three years after the Constitution was written, which stated
that children born abroad to U.S. citizens were, too, natural born
citizens.
Cruz is presumably a natural born citizen by being born to an American mother having her citizenship at his birth:
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2015/mar/26/ted-cruz-born-canada-eligible-run-president-update/ Another candidate or a state (eg Vermont) not certifying Cruz for candidacy may still tie up Cruz's campaign in the Courts or Congress:
The interesting issue is that no candidate other than a Democrat with a US citizenship issue has been elected in recent elections.
In November 2015, two ballot challenges were filed in New Hampshire, alleging Cruz was ineligible because he was born in Canada.The ballot commission rejected the challenges:

BREAKING NEWS: Obama will announce his gun control measures at 11:40 AM Tuesday in the East Room at the WH
Killing a foetus by gun or other weapon is prosecuted as murder.
Killing a foetus by medical cranioclast, currette, decapitator, embirotome, forceps, lollini, poison, scalpel, scissors, syringe, tire-tete or vacuum is not murder, according to the culture of death that is killing Americans: http://abortioninstruments.com/new_index.html#instruments
Watch this abortion video only if you dare know the painful truth:
http://abortioninstruments.com/
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness
That
to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving
their just powers from the consent of the governed
That whenever any
Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of
the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government
laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in
such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and
Happiness...
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free
State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be
infringed
While campaigning, we were approached by a university woman who was an advocate for gun control and abortion.
She asked us, What is this political obsession with the foetus? Our response was that the purpose of government is to protect life and liberty. Her lengthy retort was:
A woman has reproductive rights and choices.
A foetus is not alive, it is an appendage.
Guns kill people.
Why are Americans more concerned with the beginning of life than the end of life?
The current President, Congress and Supreme Court of America not only upheld the extra-constitutional laws for abortions, but funded Planned Parenthood Abortions at forced taxpayer expense.
Let's look at these inconvenient facts.
Anti-Second Amendment advocates claim guns kill 30,000 people a year, over 82 a day, with an "extraordinary number of child-involved shootings":
http://wapo.st/1m89WXj
In fact,100 children were unintentionally killed by gunfire in the year following the mass shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut (Sandy Hook):
http://huff.to/1mqCDM0
Less than one a day is too many.
It is not a problem government fixed violating our Second Amendment.
The Center for Disease Control documented not 30,000 but 11,208 gun homicides a year:
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/homicide.htm
That is 31 a day, not 82.
It is not a problem government fixed violating our Second Amendment.
CDC documented 21,175 gun suicides out of 41,149 suicides a year: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/suicide.htm
That is still not a problem government fixed by violating our Second Amendment. Gun homicides are one third of the gun deaths claimed by anti-Second Amendment advocates.
Suicides are two thirds of gun deaths, roughly twice as many as homicides.
Gun suicides are just over half of all suicides.
Anti-Second Amendment advocates did not work to pass a law against suicides.
Why not?
Passing yet another unconstitutional law to cure social problems did not work. CDC documented 130,557 deaths a year from unintentional injuries.
30,208 a year were from falls, 33,804 from motor vehicles, 38,851 a year from poisoning:
Where is the outcry by monopoly media and PC politicians?
Who advocated passing more laws against falls, cars or poisoning?
It just did not work.
BATF published 516 pages of conflicting state gun laws:
https://www.atf.gov/file/58536/download
States passed more gun laws without evidence they work.
The latest example is California's new 2016 law allowing police seizures of legal guns without due process or notice:
http://bit.ly/1Or09Cg
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers,
and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be
violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause,
supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place
to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized
Otherwise we have a police state.
Federal Government passed hundreds of gun laws that did not eliminate gun violence.
In fact, crime rates are higher in disarmed populations and the real issue is government power over the people:
This week the President may announce an Executive Order against guns or ammo to bypass Congress and the Courts.
This would be an unconstitutional act in violation of our Second Amendment.
Bureau of Justice statistics were used by a Professor of Health Policy at the Harvard School of Public Health to attack documented widespread criminologist findings guns are used 2.5 million times a year by US Citizens to prevent crimes.
The professor found guns are used by US Citizens 67,740 times a year to prevent crimes.
This prevented six times as many gun crimes.
Our Second Amendment provides a clear and present benefit for armed self-protection.
http://www.vpc.org/studies/justifiable.pdf
Concealed gun permits almost tripled under the current administration.
Murders fell -25%:
http://bit.ly/1MfheDd For further perspective, compare 11,208 gun murders a year to the number of medical deaths, 783,936 per year: http://www.webdc.com/pdfs/deathbymedicine.pdf
No one advocates banning medical care.
(The "Affordable Care Act" did limit medical care by raising costs and reducing access:
https://www.ahip.org/Issues/Affordable-Care-Act/) Abortion is parroted by monopoly media and politicians as a medical choice or women's right.
In fact, the Hippocratic Oath and Mosaic Law banned abortion:
http://americanrtl.org/Hippocratic-Oath-and-Abortion Let us look at some other inconvenient abortion facts: We do not have a right to commit murder. Every human being is a person.
Differences between adults and embryos are differences of degree, not kind.
If there is uncertainty about when human life begins, the benefit of the doubt goes to preserving life.
The right to life supersedes the right to terminate a life.
At conception, every pregnancy involves two or more people.
Abortion is not only a "women's issue."
Every abortion kills an innocent human being who did not get to make a choice after the mother and father did.
It is just, necessary and reasonable for society to outlaw certain lethal choices for the prosperity and survival of society, especially after birth rates fall to the point illegal labour is imported and subsidized by taxpayers in a failed attempt to save Social Security and the economy.
Disability, poverty, rape or unwanted pregnancies do not justify abortion.
Less than 1% of abortions are performed to save the life of the mother.
"Personally pro-life" is not Pro Life at all.
Abortion is more dangerous than childbirth.
Prior to legal abortion, 90% of abortions were done by doctors or nurses, not by "rusty coat hangers in back alleys."
The 8-week+ unborn baby feels real physical pain during an abortion.
Every abortion stops a beating heart and terminates measurable brain waves.
Abortion is reprehensible for the same reasons genocide and slavery are.
Abortion disproportionately takes the lives of minority babies.
There is Constitutional reason Mother Theresa and Ben Carson shamed politicians at the National Prayer Breakfasts.
Government democide was/is the leading cause of non-natural death:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democide
Abortion is not good for babies, mothers, fathers, families, communities, cultures, societies or civilizations.
Second Amendment rights to protect life and property are.
10 Myths About Guns
http://linkis.com/dailysignal.com/2016/LiiLP
“I ask, Sir, what is the militia? It
is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual
way to enslave them.”
George Mason Speech in the Virginia Ratifying Convention,
June 14, 1778
"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined;"
George Washington, father of our Nation
“A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercise, I advise the gun.
[W]hat country can preserve its
liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their
people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.”
Thomas Jefferson, author of our Declaration of Independence

To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization,...The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now
existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the
Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a
Tax or duty may be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten
dollars for each Person...No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United
States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be
eligible to the Office of President;...The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States...The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a
Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against
Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive
(when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence.
In order to become a US
citizen, immigrants must pass the Naturalization Test. American
citizenship bestows the right to vote, improves the likelihood of family
members living in other countries to come and live in the US, gives
eligibility for federal jobs, and can be a way to demonstrate loyalty to
the US. Applicants must get 6 answers out of 10 in an oral exam to pass
the test. According to US Citizenship and Immigration services, 92
percent of applicants pass this test. You must get 58 or more of these test questions correct in order to pass.
