By the 1790 law, this would have been a real sticky wicket.
The mother was a citizen, but the father had not become a citizen, had lived here for a while, but then had moved to Canada and apparently immediately applied for Canadian citizenship, since he had it by 1973 and it takes a while to obtain it.
So, he would have been the child of a US citizen and a Canadian resident, even though that man had resided in the US prior to Cruz’s conception. I think George Washington would have considered Cruz Jr. not to be a US citizen by the 1790 law, but it’s got some odd details and I could be wrong.
At this point his natural born citizen status is irrelevant.
It’s going to be Trump. And Trump ain’t gonna pick Cruz as his running mate. Trump is going to go for an independent. Let us pray it isn’t Bloomberg.
Maybe Lieberman. He needs to shore up the middle. Whatever his pick for VP nobody on this forum is going to be happy.
