The only relevant part of your timeline is the one indicating the year of Ted Cruz’ birth to an American citizen mother. But you knew that, didn’t you?
By the way, you forgot to include the 1898 Spanish American War in your timeline. That’s about as relevant as the remainder of your items.
Looks like Ted Cruz really has the GOPe and Trump worried :)
GO TED CRUZ!
It says here she was a mother who had also applied for and received Canadian citizenship prior to Ted’s birth.
I don't know if it is accurate or not, but the timeline says both his father and mother became naturalized citizens of Canada. I'd think that would be plenty relevant, if true.
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.
“The only relevant part of your timeline is the one indicating the year of Ted Cruz’ birth to an American citizen mother.”
Then the same holds true for Obama. Using that criteria Obama is a natural born citizen too. But lots of conservatives/republicans questioned Obama’s eligibility.
Republicans/conservatives cannot use a different eligibility standard for Obama and pretend to be logically consistent. That is the dilemma Trump is pointing out. And he’s right.
Did you argue as forcefully about Obama’s “natural born citizenship” status?
I didn’t think BHO was a NBC and don’t think Cruz is either. Alas, our SCOTUS ducked on the questions presented, and left enormous ambiguity. Obama at least claims he was born in the USA, whether true or not. Cruz isn’t making even that claim. There is no comparison to McCain whose family was in Panama at the time of his birth “in the service of” the United States of America. Again, Cruz cannot make that claim. And, as I understand it, Cruz had dual citizenship based on his Canadian birth until a year or so ago. Had the SCOTUS followed the strict interpretation of the Framers’ intent, I think Cruz would be out of luck on this. As it is, his status is ambiguous.
That link says Ted’s mother became a Canadian citizen along with her husband during the 8 years residing there.
Seems like Canada could clear this up.
