"Cruzâ€™s parents reported his birth to the American Consulate, which sealed his citizenship"

Then he has some documentary proof of US Citizenship. It would be sufficient to obtain a Drivers License and Passport.

Let's see it.

And, since we know he was a Canadian citizen until 2014 and that he has a Canadian BC, his mother was the only means to confer US Citizenship. We should see her Birth Certificate proving her Citizenship.

That's what known as a document trail, and while it's probable Cruz could produce one eventually, there is sufficient question whether one exists currently.

He needs to present the Consular Proof of Birth Abroad. His mother's citizenship would have been validated by the US State Dept before issued and would complete the documentary requirements for US Citizenship.

If he does not have one of those, he needs to work that process post facto.

And that would be just to get a US Passport, or Drivers license from any state since 2014 when he renounced his Canadian citizenship.

And all of that does not adjudicate whether he meets the Article II definition of NBC.

Ted (and many, many observers and legal experts) claim Ted is NBC.

And there's a whole bunch of folks replying with: Just prove it.

Anyone who thinks this is going to go away without some documentary proof is living a fantasy. Whether Republican or Democrat opponent, or a State Attorney General and Governor for ballot access, the demand will come for proof.
