That would be a humane, and very reasonable, thing to do. My only concern, as I have mentioned before, is that of first loyalty. If by some quirk a person were a NBC of two different countries, would that affect his world-view? Would he show favoritism to his second home?
Quite possibly.
All of this is rather moot when it comes to Cruz. No one thinks he'd betray the US to Canada. Yet the NB clause was put in place specifically to prevent any such possibility.
well like I mentioned it’s under special circumstances, and as Sovereigns of this country, it’s our laws that trump other country’s laws- Could they develop an affection and allegiance to another country? Yes sure they could- Even people living here as NBC’s with no dual citizenship can develop affection and allegiance to other countries- but I’m not sure what the law says regarding eligibility for dual citizenship folks- There WAS something In the early naturalization acts (1790 and 1795 and later) that required certain things in order for a person to become a citizen here regarding establishing a bond with either US citizen parent and evolving an allegiance through the bond- I dont’; recall exactly now- but it had to do with ensuring allegiance to this country- perhaps regarding dual NBC, there is some special requirements as well, I don’t know
He is betraying the constitution by subverting it. He would be the first ever foreign born POTUS. He would open the door for even further subversion in future elections.

The fact is that Cruz has already acted to undermine the sovereignty of the United States- by his original position regarding amnesty, by undermining American jobs in promoting a 5 fold increase in foreign visas, by his enabling vote; which tied the hands of Congress, for TPA, by his vote for the Cocker bill to enable Iran to obtain nuclear weapons & to transfer US tax dollars to them.
Further, his wife was a contributor to the paper promoting the North American Union (NAU) which would UNIFY Mexico, the United States and CANADA- dissolving the borders between the 3 countries.
Finally, Cruz did not bother to renounce his Canadian citizenship until 15 months ago- AFTER LIVING IN AMERICA FOR FORTY YEARS. And we’re to believe this man is committed to America?
Considering the lack of morals & ethics displayed by Senator Cruz, he would sell us out in a minute if it advanced his ambition. That much is obvious to anyone who is not willfully blind.
The Natural Born Citizen clause was made in order to prevent people like Ted Cruz and Barack 0bama from becoming president.
