:: What bothers me is Cruz didn’t bother to get rid of his Canadian citizenship ::
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?
When I was in high school, in 1966, I had a wonderful, patriotic US History teacher (thank you, Mr. Benofsky).
We studied this issue and, at that time (and with no pending controversies) it appeared that everyone believed what NBC meant was “born here”.
I followed the Obama threads. I understand the desperation to believe “this can’t possibly be happening”. But the proof that Obama wasn’t born here has never surfaced.
The proof that Cruz wasn’t born here, OTHO, is undisputed. If the USSC has to rule on this (and I hope they don’t), there is at least some chance that they will rule Cruz is not an NBC.
