“I guess Judge WX and you do not know that there are Senators in DC with dual citizenship papers as we sit here today. “

Apparently you failed to read and comprehend the part of the Public Law stating “A child born outside of the United States, one of whose parents at the time of the child’s birth was an alien and the other of whose parents then was and never thereafter ceased to be a citizen of the United States, shall, if such alien parent is naturalized, become a citizen of the United States. . . .” The father of Ted Cruz did not naturalize as a U.S. citizen until 2005, which is long after the 16 year age limit of Ted Cruz required by the statutory law.

Yes, no member of Congress is supposed to have any foreign citizenship. At the time the Constitution was adopted, dual citizenship was not permitted, so the residency requirement argued by the authors to establish the means of excluding foreign influences among the members of Congress. The more recent move to tolerate dual citizenship among the general populace die to the U.S. Supreme Court does nothing to make an amendment to the Constitution to permit present day dual citizens to be members of Congress while dividing their allegiance between the United States and a foreign sovereign. By all rights, such dual citizens in Congress should be immediately removed.
