Cruz I remember during run up to his campaign applied for a special clearance that was given by congress, having to do with his own naturalization. Possibly, it seems like that action was taken as a result of his mother’s failure to apply for his naturalization, or had not properly followed up.
Cruz was greatly surprised. He was easily deemed eligible for naturalization, via his birthright Mother, and was hastily made naturalized.
Rumors questioned her dual citizenship status, whether she had actually dropped her American citizenship, in order to be able to vote in Canada, who I think did not allow dual citizenship Canadian residents to vote at the time. Supposedly, records showed she voted in Canada.
Yes, I remember those details now. And, a naturlized citizen is NOT a NBC.
