My wife is a naturalized citizen. Her home country required her to renounce citizenship there as they don’t allow dual citizenship.
Canada let in tons of peace-nik types during the Vietnam era. They likely allowed someone to become a citizen and still keep their other citizenship.
But, as has been pointed out, his father wasn’t a citizen. Therefore, the strict definition from the framers would mean Cruz isn’t eligible.
If a tape comes out where Cruz admits that (as the above link indicates took place), it’s going to be a big pie in the face. But maybe it won’t matter. Obama served two terms and the laws on his eligibility were always laughed off.

Hey, bright eyes, you may be on to something there. But, of course, ONLY if Ted Cruz was CLONED from his father and didn’t have a natural mother.
But bright eyes, Ted Cruz had an actual mother...who just happened to be an American citizen. But maybe you demand proof from Ted’s campaign that he wasn’t cloned. After all, to Leftists and Cult of Personality types, it’s the seriousness of the charge that counts and not whether the charge is true.
“3. When his mother became a Canadian citizen and took a loyalty oath to that country, did she either by law or by fact (a letter or other legal document) renounce her citizenship for the United States?”
This is an excellent question you brought up. Cruz supporters should want this answered before we go any further.
