With Ted Cruz, as I understand it, it’s almost a semantic thing with his citizenship. It’s just a little off-putting that he didn’t actually appear as American on paper until he was 16. It’s ok for a Senator, but it’s a little creepy for a President. He entered the country as a Canadian, never became American until he was 16, though he was eligible for citizenship at birth. I also gave birth in another country and my baby had that USA birth certificate within a couple weeks.
But, then again, we had a President for 8 years who was and still is not a lawful citizen. His claim to citizenship was his ceremonial passport while serving as a US Senator, and thereafter the Passport office was tampered with to hide the fact that his pass was never based on a legitimate document. So it’s all good.
Ted’s papa didn’t become a US citizen until just a few years
ago. So I doubt he felt it necessary to see that his son get
a US citizenship. Now his mother apparently didn’t care either.
