I don’t know if he knew. It seemed so strange to me for his mother to write her name as “Wilson”, on Ted’s birth certificate, as she was presumably married at the time to Mr. Cruz. Maybe they were not married, I don’t know.
Ted will not explain anything. He has only said that his mother filed for something-or-other with an acronym name on the form that made him a natural born citizen. No. That can not fly. It would mean his mother filed for his dual citizenship, as I understand it.
After all, in the case of Mr. and Mrs. Cruz were not eligible for natural born status for their offspring, because neither parent were on government assignment, or military or foreign service employees, or serving in any position of service to their country that would justify NBC for their offspring.
Rather, I read where both parents were Canadian citizens, by virtue of their voting record there, which requires citizenship to vote.
Ted needs to explain this stuff, given his incessant harping for the strictest interpretation of the US Constitution and his known “originalist” views on it’s contents.
(Except for when he needs the Constitution to be “flexible” for serving his own interests.)
I just don’t approve of the confusion on this issue. Our government should have settled this a long time ago, because in the case of Obama, the gap in enforcement of the citizenship requirements may have cost us our country.
It’s called lack of both the investigation and the application of the law.
Do you have a source for that, I'd like to learn about it.
Most people refer to the CRBA, and if Ted lost his FS-545, it would be replaced, after 1990, with a CRBA.
As for the government applying law to itself, you have got to be kidding me! We are in a glorified banana republic.
