They were not dual citizens in the context that Universities often give out honorary degrees.
Honorary degrees, like honorary citizenship are awards of appreciation.
If you were awarded a honorary degree in law you could not apply to the bar.
Similarly, Honorary citizenship would not entitle you to even apply for, much less receive a passport.
The are awards that have effect of the regular earned status or in this case of having citizenship bestowed upon you and granting you all the rights, protection from that country, nor would it bind you to any obligations of that country.
Yer not a citizen but, merely an esteemed friend.
In the case of Cruz, he is currently a Natural Born Citizen of Kannaduh. He is bound to obligations of Kannaduh, as well, entitled to all rights and privileges of Kannaduh.
If Cruz were take his children to Kannaduh, under their laws, they too are citizens and if he were in the middle of a nasty divorce, his American born wife, who is not a citizen of Kannaduh, would have little recourse in demanding Cruz return the children to America.
Kannaduh would be bound by it’s laws to protect and defend the rights of the little Kannadianuhs and they would shrug their shoulders.
They would tell the USA their hands are tied and as Kannadianuh citizens, who are with a parent, also a Kannadianuh, are welcome to stay. They are in their country and welcomed home.
Arabs pull that crap quite a bit. They decide they don’t want to be married and take their children back home to his country of origin.
The children being citizens under their laws cannot be compelled to return.
Birthers will soon have a chance to lose on that issue, like they always lose.
A place where the Kandahunas run free?
Where is this magical place where they protect the little Kandahunas? I’ve heard of it before but didn’t dare to dream it was a real place.
Oh wait, nevermind. You said Kannaduh not Kandahuna.
