Do you believe that a “brilliant, off the charts smart” Harvard lawyer does not know his own citizenship status? I don’t. I guess we will see but there is no way that I can be convinced that a man who was a citizen of another country until he was 43 years old and already running for President is what the founders had in mind as an qualified person.
Do you know each of the citizenship laws and all changes of those laws throughout your lifetime? Have you ever had reason to even research them?
Since Cruz had been a U.S. citizen his entire life and only grew up in the U.S., why would he have even thought to check that he technically had dual citizenship, especially since his mother had always been a U.S. citizen only and his dad had been a U.S. citizen most of his life. His parents may not even of known the laws and assumed Cruz was only a U.S. citizen and told Cruz all his life that he was only a U.S. citizen.
Most people don’t even think about those things or question their parents unless something comes along to cause them to start questioning it or unless the person is into genealogy research.
You are welcome to your opinions, but without proof of Cruz’s knowledge or the founders intent, you should be cautious about making unsupported assumptions.
Just curious...you want to assume Cruz lied, without any proof and you hold that against him. However, I’m guessing you’re a Trump supporter, but you don’t seem to have a problem with Trump lying repeatedly about his liberal positions, to include his recent or current support of Planned Parenthood, government subsidies (welfare), ‘assault’ weapons ban, abortion/pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, and the list goes on and on. All of this is well documented. Trump only “changed” some of these positions within the last 4 months to 2 years, but you don’t question Trump’s honesty even though we all know that Trump is applying for a job and may just be telling us only what we want to hear. Why don’t you hold Trump to the same level of scrutiny that you hold Cruz??
