I don’t believe he didn’t know until a year ago.
How can a Naturally Born Citizen of the US also be born with duel citizenship? Is that even possible?
Huh? Surprise?
That is bulllll
So what passport parents and kids had?
Grayson is waiting with lawsuit to challenge eligibility and media are sharpening their spears.
After a few months of Trudeau the Canadians may decide not to accept his renunciation and come to Washington D.C. to forcibly remove him and install him as Canada’s president!
Last time their military came to D.C. they left it a smoking ruin...
So, another reason to vote for Cruz!
The question is what constitutes “Natural Born”?
There is something very odd when the past few elections, we have had candidates born abroad, born here to aliens, and a mixture of these facts. Just very bizarre.
If he was dumb enough to get rid of a great second citizenship document, that’s one more reason to question his judgment.
Cruz isn’t going to just seal his records?
Desperation is the mother of intervention.
Here is Grayson. He may be kooky, but he is salivating for Cruz to win:

“GRAYSON: I don’t know, the Constitution says natural born Americans, so now we’re counting Canadians as natural born Americans? How does that work? I’m waiting for the moment that he gets the nomination and then I will file that beautiful lawsuit saying that he’s unqualified for the job because he’s in eligible.
COLMES: So you’re saying should he get the nomination, Alan
Grayson will file a lawsuit against his candidacy.
GRAYSON: Absolutely! Call me crazy but I think the President of America should be an American. “

From what little I've read, he and his wife moved to Canada not long after he graduated from college in Texas. He may have had to leave the US due to his student visa from Cuba expiring when he graduated? Not sure...
Mr. and Mrs. Cruz settled in Canada, starting a business and family there. Was he a Canadian citizen when baby Ted was born?
If he was, then Ted Cruz was born in Canada to a Canadian father and an American mother.
That would make Ted a Canadian by birth and by his father.
I believe they lived in Canada until Ted was 4 yo, moving to the US in 1974? I'm not sure about the dates, but I think that's close.
If Ted Cruz is a "Natural Born Citizen" of the US, then pretty much everyone with an American parent born anywhere in the world is a "Natural Born American Citizen" and that is in no way possible using the language and assumed intent of the Founding Fathers requiring a NBC to be POTUS.
Nor is that something I believe or would vote for, which is exactly what you are doing by voting for Ted for POTUS.
What would be the point of even mentioning NBC for ONLY the POTUS if NBC status was so meaningless? Why would otherwise smart and thoughtful people do that for a position of such power?
I also believe that obama, along with the Dreams of his Father, were exactly what the FFs were trying to spare US from.
I don't want to piss that protection away forever for anyone, no matter how exceptional he/she or the times might be.
We've almost survived obama. Why risk another, perhaps even more foreign cult of personality figure in the pocket of who knows what?
Born in America to American parents is the most fundamental, and legal, definition of the Natural Born American identity and I am glad that Trump is bringing it up now. Perhaps it will get settled this time?
Questioning obama's NBC status became "racist" so it will be interesting to see if "racist" still works or if another word will have to be used for the NBC Cruz deniers.
