Did Cruz live any significant time in Canada?

When I was a baby I lived in a boiler shed.

That Don't make me a piece of coal or homeless.
It was a transitional time. My parents were building a house, they had allegiances to the neighborhood. Some asshole wagging his finger and saying you had no address at age 2 mos does not make me not an American.

Why do you confuse “American” with “Natural Born Citizen”?

The founders had no trouble distinguishing between the two. That’s why they made a special case for people who lived in the United States at the time the country was founded, and said that all others must be “Natural Born Citizen”.

If you grew up in a foreign country, you might have some allegiance to that country, and they wanted to avoid any possibility that the President would give deference to other countries over our own supremacy.

And whether you think Obama is NBR or not, you can’t argue that he certainly seems to prove the point that if you aren’t solidly raised to love our country, you will betray it as President.

Cruz lived in Canada until he was 4 years old.

So, was that long enough for him to be tainted by Canadian values?

Well, there are 300 million americans. I think we could find one who could run our country who was actually born and raised in the country.
