This is BS and you know it.
If he was a naturalized citizen, as opposed to natural born, where are his naturalization papers...?
Utter bullocks and you know it.
So far Cruz has shown 2 things to us....his Canadian bc and his mother’s bc. No sale. Not settled.
I do have a solution to Ted’s “Canadian dilemma”. After President Trump finishes the wall with Mexico... we will have to start thinking about the Northern border. The Canadian wall would have to be over twice as long and go through much more difficult terrain and stand up to much harsher weather conditions. Plus there are only a quarter as many Canadians as Mexicans and most of them have good manners, public restroom hygiene and most aren’t trying to sneak into the United States anyway. Obviously a wall between Canada and the United States isn’t going to be nearly as cost effective.
I propose we just convert Canada into three states, French Canada, Middle Canada, and West Canada. A few Canadians would probably object. Sure there are many liberals in Canada, but they are mostly Minnesota or Wisconsin liberal not California, Colorado, or East Coast liberal. That means that many are not complete lost causes.
I m certain that if we promised to call all natural born Canadians natural born Americans that most of the Canadian Parliament would go along with the plan. Face it in Canada the glass ceiling for politicians is pretty low. The state of California has more people. Many Canadian politicians besides Ted Cruz have aspirations to be the leader of the free world.
You can study it for yourself. His mother registered him as an American Citizen when he turned 16 years old. It was reported that Cruz's mother "registered his birth with the U.S. consulate" and that Cruz traveled on a U.S. passport in 1986 while on a high school trip. No documentation has been provided.
It boils down to Cruz being a Canadian at birth but only registered as an American at the age of 16.
Imagine a Palestinian living in Syria travels to the USA and is given Asylum. Then he marries an American and gets a job in the petroleum industry and is sent to Jordan. While there he applies to Jordan and he and his wife become Jordanian citizens. The have a son while living in their new country. As the son's mother was an American citizen, when the boy turns 16 she has his birth registered with the US Consulate as a citizen. The family travels back to live in America and eventually their son decides to run for the US Presidency. To avoid "complications" When he starts his campaign he officially renounces his Jordanian Citizenship.
Is the boy eligible to be our President?
Clearly he is not. This is the same scenario as Ted Cruz's life.
The reason for the Natural Born clause was to deny any person that could have divided loyalties from being President. If a person is not even recognized to be an American until the age of 16, how could that be twisted in knots to be seen as a Natural Born Citizen? It cannot.
