He was both a natural-born Canadian subject and a natural-born US citizen. Canada and the US both allow dual citizenship. He formally rescinded his Canadian citizenship in 2014. End of story.
No, this is controversial with qualified experts on coming down on both sides. You or I could not claim to know how this would turn out if it were litigated. So it is not the end of the story. The end of the story will be when Cruz wins the election and the Democrat he ran against files a lawsuit and it ends up in the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court would decide the end of the story.
Cruz is a natural-born weasel
He’s a natural born Canadian citizen. The founders didn’t want a POTUS with divided loyalties - which of course proves how right they were in predicting the problems with someone with only one citizen parent such as Barack Hussein Obama, citizen of the world, who at least managed to produce sort of a United States birth certificate.
You are confusing Citizen and Natural Born Citizen. They are NOT the same thing.
A tree is a plant but not all plants are trees.
The Law of Nations published in 1758 by E. Vattel was the reference for “natural born citizen.”
George Washington, Chair of the constitution Committee received a letter from John Jay, who was to become the first Chief justice of the Supreme Court, suggesting the wording “natural born citizen.” There is a definite difference between a natural born citizen who CANNOT BE anything other than American, and a citizen who can be some other nationality by reason of parentage or place of birth.
Yes, end of story. He IS a citizen. He just IS NOT a natural born citizen.
You are half right.
“...End of story?”
I wish it were.
