The way Cruz handled the NBC question convinced me that he is NOT eligible.
The intellectually honest approach would be to offer this syllogism:
1) Proffer a definition of NBC, and provide evidence for it.
2) Show how he fits the definition of NBC, with documents.
Instead, Cruz:
1) Sealed his documentation.
2) Said, “This is settled law.”
3) Said, “I’m focusing on issues that matter to the American People.” (Which is, IIRC, how Bill Clinton ended his “that woman” statement: “I’m going to get back to doing the job the American People elected me to do.”)
Born outside USA- not eligible!
Born of Cuban father convert to Canadian - not eligible!
Born of EX-PAT American mother who garnered expedited Canadian citizenship due to her recent 8 year British residency. - not eligible!
Born of TWO Canadians in Canada =Thrice ineligibility.
Father ditched American family (Julia Garza) with two infant girls and then used a new woman (Eleanor) to flee to Canada. Avoid be hunted down by Warren Commission (Jim Garrrison) for JFK testimony and got expedited Canadian citizenship in one year. And he held onto that Canadian citizenship for THIRTY-FIVE YEARS -until 2005.
Think about it people. There are repercussions for the opportunistic behavior of the bigamist government operative father- Lee Harvey CruzWald.
And, in 2013, when the nosey Texas press discovered that Ted’s folks were voting as Canadian citizens, the answer was a delayed denial by Cruz campaign operatives- “the Cruz’s weren’t in Canada long enough to qualify for citizens.” BS- pure BS.
