Persons Born in Canada After December 31, 1946 But Before February 15, 1977

The above section explains why Ted Curz received Canadian Citizenship at birth as well as US when he was born.

[Behind the Blue Wall]

There’s little doubt that Cruz was a U.S. citizen at birth (though we haven’t yet seen any documentation to that effect). But there is no particular reason to think that citizen at birth equals natural born citizen and there are a lot of good reasons to think that dual citizen at birth does not equal natural born citizen.

He also got Cuban citizenship, the same way he got US citizenship. One citizen parent, born abroad.

The US claim and Cuba claim are indistinguishable at birth.

Nice explanation of Canadian law. What does it have to do with U.S. law? Answer - nothing at all.

[Jim Noble]

Through his mother he was a US citizen at birth

Was his mother a Canadian citizen at the time he was born? If not, why was she a registered voter?

I was born a Canadian citizen. Before 1947, Canadians were simply British Subjects.
