I’m a natural born citizen, having been born to US citizens in the state of MN. My daughter was born in Toronto Canada, and has a Canadian birth certificate, and is eligible for Canadian citizenship. My wife was not a US citizen at that time. When my wife became a naturalized US citizen in 1973, the INS issued her a Certificate of Naturalization, at the same time, my daughter was also given a Certificate of Naturalization (she was 4 at the time).
My bet is that when Cruz’ father became naturalized, they also issued Ted a Certificate of Naturalization.
So, I’m not quite sure whether Cruz is eligible to run for president. He definitely needs to get this cleared up in a court.
Good Morning,
Your post is very revealing. May I ask if US citizenship was “instantly” bestowed upon your daughter at birth? In other words, was a US birth certificate issued through the Consulate at the time of her birth, or was it issued in conjunction with her Cert of Naturalization?
Thanks,
No, all she has is her Canadian birth cert, and her Certificate of Naturalization. I’m guessing that a Consular Report of Citizen Born Abroad has to be initiated by the parents, and we didn’t know about that, and wasn’t told about that, so I’m guessing one wasn’t filed.
I’d like to see Cruz clear this up before the nominating process goes too far. I know that democrat representative in FL, Grayson, has already said he’d file a challenge if Cruz is nominated.
