This is stupid. What if china declares Trump a Chinese and not legal to be dual citizen. Does that mean trump is now ineligible.
Bad analogy.
Just because China declares that someone on the other side of the world is suddenly a Chinese citizen, it doesn’t mean anything at all to that US citizen.
Cruz’s situation is different.
A baby is born in Canada. With just that information alone, the US government has no interest at all. So what? A baby is born in Canada. Big Whoop.
BUT if the parents of that baby have grounds, and the desire, to declare that baby as a US citizen, then they do have to do paperwork at the US consulate. If they do not do that, how is the US government to know or care about that particular baby?
So, if at birth Cruz was a US citizen, it had to be noted somewhere in some official document. And Cruz has never produced a Consulate Record of Birth. Does he have one?
Without a Consulate Record of Birth, the US government has no way of knowing he exists. A claim of citizenship in the US then becomes difficult to pursue.
It really is a serious question, and it deserves a serious answer.
If Trump was born in China, yeah. Did Ted get special foreign student rates at Princeton and Harvard?
Trump was born in the USA to two US citizen parents. Trump was not born in China. Cruz was not born in the USA. He was born in Canada, which is why there laws may be relevant.
‘What if china declares Trump a Chinese and not legal to be dual citizen.’
Trump wasn’t born in China. That’s the point: NBCs are wholly American.
