Is Donald Trump’s mother an American citizen under American law,having been naturalized, or is she still a British national, having publicly renounced all claims to other countries’ claims upon her?

If you say both, because of British law, then she could never have escaped a claim of dual citizenship.

If that is true, then how can claim Cruz simply renounce his Canadian citizenship and it is OK? It cannot be challenged.

There is no question about Trump’s NBC status.

It is quite a simple matter really.

I'm going to give this one more try, even though I have concluded that you have walled off your mind.

Is Donald Trump's mother an American citizen under American law, having been naturalized, or is she still a British national, having publicly renounced all claims to other countries' claims upon her?

Answer: She is dead. But, when she was alive she became a naturalized citizen of the United States. This happened in 1942. She also remained a British national since Britain does not recognize any renunciation of nationality other than those made properly to the Home Secretary. Specifically, Britain does not recognize the renunciation of nationality made as part of the US naturalization process.

If you say both, because of British law, then she could never have escaped a claim of dual citizenship.

She could have easily escaped a claim of dual nationality by renouncing her British nationality in the manner and form required by British law.

If that is true, then how can claim Cruz simply renounce his Canadian citizenship and it is OK? It cannot be challenged.

Ted Cruz could have and did renounce his Canadian citizenship in the manner and in the form prescribed by Canadian law - and by doing so Canada has acknowledged and recognized and registered the renunciation according to their law. It's a done deal and who are you to challenge it? I suppose you could if you wanted to, but you would have to do it in Canada since it's their deal, not ours.

There is no question about Trump's NBC status.

None I know of.

It is quite a simple matter really.

Yes it is. That's why your rigid obtuseness on the issue is so perplexing.
