Except, you have no proof or US government document recognising Ted Cruz as a US Citizen!
-PJ
Did Ted’s mom renouce US citizenship while she lived in England, with husband 1, or in Canada with husband 2??
How do you know Ted’s mom kept her US citizenship?
It is physically and legally impossible to be a natural born citizen of two countries. Ted Cruz is a natural born citizen of Canada. He is American by statute.
Has it been easy to clear up obummer? Nope!
LOL Jane. Trumps mother renounced her citizenship prior.
Cruz either has that Consular Report of Birth Abroad, which is his legal proof of US Citizenship or he doesn’t.
Would appear his parents never applied for it....making Cruz a bonafide Canadian.
Significantly, Canada prohibited dual nationality at the time of Cruz/s birth.
If Cruz can/t produce Consular Report of Birth Abroad, there’s a little problem with the US Senate office Cruz holds now (and was elected to under false pretenses) .......not to mention his aspirations to be US President.
The Texas voters he represents also have a gripe or two.
^^ THAT ^^
CRuz....just show your Consular Report of Birth Abroad....and be done with this!
I will add that the Consular Report-to-US Birth Certificate process is an overly arduous and complicated process. I struggled with it for years but WAS able to get my son a US Passport.
Finally, after years of no-help futility, I told my son as a college man, “here is the CROBA, your Passport, all the military hospital documentation and everything since then. If you want the final product, go for it, but you’re a man now and you need to learn what this country is. Good luck.”
Trump supports are really running scared today, with all these articles about Cruz.
To bad they don’t realize that courts have already ruled in his favor.
FYI
I don’t really give a shit, but I am tired of both parties taking extreme liberty with our laws.
Try breaking the law by not paying your taxes and see how well it goes.
He'll build a wall across our Northern border and make Canada pay for it.
It'll be terrific!
It's very easy. I lived in London for years. Two of my children were born there. They are both natural born British citizens by dint of being born in London. At the he same time , they are natural born American citizens because both their parents are natural born American citizens.
"According to U.S. law, a CRBA is proof of U.S. citizenship and may be used to obtain a U.S. passport and register for school, among other purposes.
The child's parents may choose to apply for a U.S. passport for the child at the same time that they apply for a CRBA. Parents may also choose to apply only for a U.S. passport for the child. Like a CRBA, a full validity, unexpired U.S. passport is proof of U.S. citizenship."
Please read the explanation about the document. https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/abroad/events-and-records/birth.html
“Do a little research on that. Understand dual citizenship and choice at 18 wasn’t an option at that time.”
Please cite your source for this claim.
Section 301 (b) of the INA of 1952 stipulated that someone born abroad to a US citizen parent could lose US citizenship unless he or she lived in the US at least five years between the ages of 14 and 28. Cruz would have satisfied this condition which, in any case, was subsequently struck down by the US Supreme Court.

The 1952 INA also spelled out the conditions under which someone like Cruz “acquire[d] citizenship at birth.”
Trump’s mother was an American citizen when Donald was born and he was born in the US to two American citizens.
Unlike Cruz who born in Canada to only one American citizen who had left the US.
There is a reason Cruz has withheld documentation, he could have cleared this up in a minute.
Only if his mother filed a CRBA. His parents had immigrated to Canada and his father took Canadian citizenship—not sure if at the time that would be conveyed to his wife, but there are reports she was registered to vote, i.e., a Canadian citizen.
Good try. Logic may say so, but British law says you don’t automatically become a British citizen if you were born to a British mother outside of Britain before 1983. You have to specifically apply to Britain in writing to do that. Google British citizenship law.
OP makes a false assumption. In order to not be entitled to claim his US citizenship, his mother must be found to not satisfy the US residency requirements, which she almost certain did.
There are thousands of cases where persons tried to claim their US citizenship based on birth abroad to a citizen parent, well into their adulthood. We don't hear about the ones that "got it," only the ones that were rejected for failure to prove one of the elements necessary (blood line, birth in wedlock, or residency)
I've asking about his CRBA since Nov of last year. ;)
