“We need to resolve this issue once and for all. Cruz will probably be ruled eligible, but we really don’t know. “
For sure. After 8 years of this with Obama.
What bothers me is Cruz didn’t bother to get rid of his Canadian citizenship...senators should NOT have dual citizenship...all of freeperdom used to agree on that. He maintains he didn’t know he was a Canadian citizen until 2014.....and he’s a lawyer???

That question should be sent to the Canadian government, ne c’est pas?
Was Cruz a “citizen of Canada” for simply being born on Canadian soil? What is the collective understanding of the Canadian government? What is THEIR understanding of “citizenship?
I suspect that a fair number of Congress people are dual citizens. They are of course tight-lipped about that.
I have a cousin born overseas (parents were employees of the State Dept). No one ever gave dual citizenship a thought until he applied for a job and was told he’d have to give up a citizenship of which he was completely unaware.

He also said he didn’t know he had a Canadian passport.
How the heck do you NOT know? And #2 how is it that no one in government alerted a sitting senator of this fact?
Look on the upside of the downside ....and there's plenty of downside. Trump could turn out to be a 60's liberal Democrat indifferent to RKBA, immigration, territorial integrity, and fiscal sanity. He could turn out to be a stalking-horse for Hildebeast (remember that 45-minute private conversation with Slick Willie before he announced?) or a Rockefeller clone.
What we do get, which is the upside of some pretty good downside, is a free look at whether Obama's acts and E.O.'s can be invalidated due to NBC issues, once we break into his trove of protected identity and education documents. If Ted Cruz isn't NBC enough for SCOTUS, then chances are that Indonesian Passport Boy isn't either. Especially if his trendy Red mom never got around to trotting him down to the State Department office in Hawaii to reclaim his U.S. citizenship and turn in his Indonesian documents -- and we've heard he kept that passport. If he renaturalized, he couldn't have kept it -- capiche?
If we find out Obama's not NBC, his whole _residency becomes a peel-off sticker, his acts and legislation subject to legal attack as invalid, and the White House declared vacant for his entire eight years in orifice.
His mother told him she never applied for Canadian citizenship for him. Most countries don’t have birthright citizenship. In actuality, his Canadian citizen was nullified when he voted in his first U.S. election, but he still went through the formality of renouncing it.
