The timeline says no such thing, but you knew that didn’t you? We don’t know whether Cruz’s mother was a U.S. citizen at the time of his birth. We do know that his father naturalized in Canada when he was married to his mother and we also know that Canada didn’t allow dual citizenship. Based on those facts alone I’d think further investigation is required, and Cruz being the great advocate for and respecter of the Constitution that he purports to be should be all in for that examination. For example opening up his INS file to the public.
This would be the only thing that would disqualify him...did his mother renounce her US citizenship?
If so where is the evidence of that?
We do know that his father naturalized in Canada when he was married to his mother and we also know that Canada didn’t allow dual citizenship.

Well, do we “know that”? So you’re saying that Canada didn’t allow dual citizenship for his father but for Ted Cruz they did?
Canada actually did allow dual citizenship in some cases. The Canadian Citizenship act of 1946 did not require migrants to prove that they had renounced the citizenship of their former country.
The “original” SR511 definition of NBC ( http://www.leahy.senate.gov/press/the-introduction-of-a-senate-resolution ) signed by Obama, Clinton, Leahy, Coburn, Webb and McCaskill and verified by Chertoff, states very plainly that NBC means born in the USA of two US citizen parents. The SR511 that Congress vetted McCain with ( https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/110/sres511/text ) is a watered down version but still states TWO US CITIZENS.
There is a reason Leahy has kept the original version on his website all these years.
