That is interesting, and it makes a lot of sense. So, what you are saying is that Cruz was born in Canada, but he was NEVER a Canadian citizen, but always an American citizen, correct?

I have actually never thought about this.

I happen to believe that Obama was born in Hawaii, and that seems to be the “official” take on things, so aside from the idea that maybe he wasn’t actually born there, it’s irrelevant for this discussion. (I think Obama should have been dq’d for pres. due to the fact that he’s a communist, but clearly that view was in minority, in the country and the MSM, not here, of course!)

My recollection about McCain was that he was born in Panama, but that was due to the fact that his father was in military service there. My understanding is that while being in military service in a foreign land you are “in the US”. Nevertheless I recall congress passing some pro-forma bill declaring McCain “eligible” to be president.

Now would they have to do that for Cruz?

I’m so glad I read your post!

Yes, a courtesy vote on Cruz would be likely.
