I believe only his mother was. Doesn't really matter. He was born a U.S. citizen. He didn't have to naturalize. I'm sure if he wanted to run, the Senate would extend the same courtesy they did to McCain and declare Cruz natural born by resolution. The courts don't seem interested in addressing the issue of eligibility and the Roberts court in particular has already shown itself willing to defer to the voters.
So there you have it.
Is this true?
Is Cruz not actually Canadian, but is American?
If so, that would absolutely explain why the NYT is trying to damage him now.
I take back any references to Canada I have posted. Please illuminate us on the Canada vs America issue with Cruz.
Is he American?
His father left Cuba when Casto came in so I don’t believe he would have still been considered a Cuban citizen and probably couldn’t pass Cuban citizenship to Ted.
So the bottom line is that Ted Cruz *is* a U.S. citizen, and therefore eligible to run for President?
Not nit-picking here, I'm just trying to get it straight...
The only way he can be declared a Citizen is because it was passed through the blood of his parent's Citizenship.
Ergo, obammie is a dual Citizen, not NBC.
