A document uncovered by Breitbart News indicates that the parents of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) were named on a Calgary list of electors for Canada's federal election of July 8, 1974. Ted Cruz parents are listed as Cruz, Eleanor, Mrs. nd Cruz, Raphael, self employed, both at 920 Riverdale Avenue, South West in Calgary, Alberta.
Canadian law restricts (and restricted) federal voting rights to Canadian citizens.
In a statement to Breitbart News—the full text of which follows this article—Jason Johnson, chief strategist for Cruz for President, said that “the document itself does not purport to be a list of ‘registered Canadian voters.’ All this might conceivably establish is that this list of individuals (maybe) lived at the given addresses. It says nothing about who was a citizen eligible to vote.â€
Johnson added: Eleanor was never a citizen of Canada, and she could not have been under the facts or the law. In short, she did not live in Canada long enough to be a Canadian citizen by the time Cruz was born in 1970: Canadian law required 5 years of permanent residence, and she moved to Canada in December 1967—only 3 years before Senator Cruz’s birth. ...

Could this be one of the reasons behind the push for an Article V? I supported it, until I realized that the commies were not the only risk.
Wow, you get so close that you are in charge of Trumps farts, or are you there panning for gold dust?
They used the term widely known at the time from Vattel’s writings, NATURAL BORN CITIZEN!What you think doesn’t matter. What the Founders thought, does.
His comments on this subject, as on many others, generate a lot of heat and almost NO thought. He is doing a good job of driving me away from him.
“They used the term widely known at the time from Vattel’s writings, NATURAL BORN CITIZEN!”
Why do you refuse to acknowledge that Vattel NEVER WROTE ABOUT NBC?
Are you a liar, or just deliberately stupid?
Why don’t you look up E. Vattel and see what he called a Natural Born Citizen? Too lazy? or just trying to insist you are right when you are dead wrong and several Supreme Court Decision validate Vattel.
Your claim was the Constitution said parents.
Have you admitted your error yet?
You really are not as smart as you like to pretend. The reason for the difference between "a natural born citizen or a citizen..." is very simple. At the time of the adoption of the Constitution, there WERE no natural born citizens of the United States old enough to be president - every one who became a citizen of the United States when we declared our Independence was born as the citizen of another country.
I'm more interested in what the Constitution says.
Ted Cruz is NOT a Natural Born Citizen.
No, I responded with actual examples from Trump's own statements and actions. If you see citing Trump's own words as "innuendo", then I think the cult designation applies much more to you.

Please notice he did not discuss natural born citizens, and the translations made prior to the US Constitution did not make that error. Notice the images were posted by someone who is a birther...but an honest one.
Why would I worry? You’re the one demanding proof, He provided it with his Mothers BC
Pictures show up in the correct order in preview, but not when posted. Oh well.
His mom is an American citizen. Case closed.
Oh...they show up beside the text when posted on the forum. OK.
I believe in the constitution. Ted Cruz’ mom is an American citizen, and was one when Ted was born. He’s an American.
What type of citizen is he?
You also seem content to ignore that Vattel did NOT write about “natural born citizensâ€.
......................................................
Before the Constitution the closest reference we have to Natural Born Citizen is from the legal treatise “the Law of Nations,†written by Emerich de Vattel in 1758. In book one chapter 19,
§ 212. Of the citizens and natives.
“The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see whether, on their coming to the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.â€
VATTEL DID write the above, explaining Natural Born Citizen. If you can read with comprehension, you must admit your error.
If you keep it up, I’ll be forced to resurrect the Sanity Squad. And there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
