Megan, Ted Cruz is not a “foreigner”. You ignore my point, BTW. Bob

>>>Megan, Ted Cruz is not a “foreigner”.<<<

True, but neither was he born on US soil and you may recall that his point was a matter of contention for John McCain who was born in the Canal Zone. That was resolved by noting that the Canal Zone was a US territory at the time McCain was born.

Canada, last I checked, is not a US territory and given that the USA & Canada do not have a mutual treaty of extraterritorial jurisdiction with regards to citizens of one country being born in the other then Ted Cruz’ Constitutional qualification cannot be judged the same as John McCain’s.

Therefore Ted Cruz was *born* a Canadian citizen and he is *entitled* to US citizenship via his mother.
