Rafael Cruz said “I worked in Canada for eight years” “while I was in Canada, I became a Canadian citizen.”

“I think they say She and Rafael voted in Canadian elections.”

Nope, they were simply on a list for Canadian election canvassing. That list contains everyone who lives in a certain area, regardless of whether they are a citizen or registered voter or not.

Correct me if I am mistaken, but I believe I read on FR that a simple minority would be needed to confirm.

Reid only did it for cabinet positions not Supreme Court.

Sorry I was unclear, it was unknown if his mother was a CANADIAN citizen when Ted was born. And she didn’t file with the U.S. Consulate when Ted was born, to declare him a U.S. citizen. She would qualify for expedited Canadian citizenship since Mr. Cruz had taken out Canadian citizenship. The evidence as to Canadian citizenship, is that both Mr. & Mrs. Cruz were registered on voter rolls. As to her marriage to Mr. Cruz there is a question as to when he divorced his first wife prior to marrying his 2nd wife, and I don’t actually know when she divorced her first hubby, but that is her business. The child she bore in England belonged to an Englishman and was up for adoption, and died at 5 months or so. We will ever know coz’ all her records are sealed. I would advise Cruz to avoid running for the Presidency since he only gave up his Canadian citizenship late in life when running, so he WAS, at minimum a dual national, and Lord knows what his official status is here in the U.S. if both parents were Canadian citizens at his birth. Too many unanswered questions. I like the guy, super smart, he was my first choice back in the day, would love to see him on the Supreme Court, or pretty much in any office (except the Presidency).

How would you know?

No, they were on an election canvassing document, that lists everyone who lives in a certain area, regardless of whether they are citizens or registered voters.
