A very good point. In fact, would Ted Cruz have been eligible to run for Prime Minister of Canada had he not renounced his Canadian citizenship in 2014 two years after he lied (either deliberately or by omission) to the voters of Texas about his being a Canadian-Texan when seeking their votes to get to the U.S. Senate? Imagine, a Cuban-Canadian anchor baby, gets elected to the U.S. Senate, and then runs for the Conservative Party to be the successor to Stephen Harper as Prime Minister? Only in Cruznadia!!

“In fact, would Ted Cruz have been eligible to run for Prime Minister of Canada”

Who cares?

The laws of every country are different.

We are analyzing US law and US law only.

Are you aware that Texas was seeking to disqualify foreign born / ineligible citizens from the General Election Ballot?

Looks like he’s lucky they haven’t voted on Texas HB295, it would knock Ted off the ballot. Note section (d)AA

HB295 Introduced -A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN ACT- relating to certification for placement on the ballot of candidates
for president or vice-president of the United States. BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTIONA1.AASection 192.033, Election Code, is amended by amending Subsection (a) and adding Subsection (d) to read as follows: (a)AAExcept as provided by Subsection (c) or (d), the secretary of state shall certify in writing for placement on the general election ballot the names of the candidates for president and vice-president who are entitled to have their names placed on the ballot..........(d)AAThe secretary of state may not certify the name of a candidate for president or vice-president unless the candidate has presented the candidate ’s original birth certificate indicating that the person is a natural-born United States citizen............

If Texas passes HB295, Cruz could not appear on the General Election Ballot in Texas and that’s 38 Electoral Votes we can not afford to lose.
