On Ted Cruz Eligibility . . .

So the question becomes,

for —anyone— born in canada in that time frame, under the same circumstances

(parents married, one a US citizen, one not, mom 19 or older when gave birth)

what were the effects of not having a US birth cert?

And for not having the Record of birth abroad recorded at the US consulate?

If the parent didn’t have it recorded the year the child was born, could they file it later, when they found out they needed it?

[WildHighlander57]

In my previous reply, the “19 or older” is for the case of mom being the US citizen.

I think if its the dad who is the US citizen, there may just be the requirement to file the birth abroad with the consulate.

[WildHighlander57]

In 1970 it was “in the US ten years, five after the age of 14”, and, given the timeline for cruz’ mom, she most likely was old enough to convey US citizenship to Ted.

Question is, did she file with the consulate when Ted was born and if not, would she be able do it later on.

[WildHighlander57]

I am glad to know that there —is— a process in place to get the consular report by a lady in similar circumstances

(US citizen 19 years old or older, married to a green card US legal resident, they had lived in canada for four years when child born there)

if she didn’t file with the consulate the year her child was born.

Or for Ted to get it.

And the fact that Ted did the paperwork to renounce his Canadian citizenship means that he was able to prove that he had US citizenship also, and be able to choose between them.

[WildHighlander57]

Cruz’ parents were there only four years when Cruz was born.

They had to be there for five, in order to apply for Canadian citizenship .

[WildHighlander57]

The citizenship change for Ted’s folks would have been after he was born; they needed to have been there for 5 years, but had only been there 4 when he was born.

Effects: none unless you are fever-brained trump partisan. None of the concerns you list are relevant in any way.

[WildHighlander57]

And we do have his and his mom’s birth cert

(I’ve seen Teds birth cert posted here; can’t find it at the moment so will add to this reply when I find it)

Gathering up the other points of info related to this, so its in one place...

Dad a resident of the US

Cruz parents not in Canada long enough to become citizens before Cruz born:

About that “elector list”; its a census list, not a voter list

And here’s where the govt dept says how one can get the equivalent of the report of birth abroad

So what would have been done with the Consular Report of Birth Abroad?

I don't know. why don't you e-mail the campaign and ask them to put it on their web sight.

I agree, no effect whatsoever, since there is a way of filing for proof of US citizenship later on.

Being that Cruz took care of things, and renounced Canadian citizenship, that settles it

(plus his mom’s birth cert and his birth cert show how old she was when he was born.
Also, here’s the canadian rules on how long you have to live there before getting citizenship http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3381497/posts?page=196#196
she needed to be there 4 years)

Meanwhile, Cruz’ mother’s birth certificate has been released and she was born an American citizen. Congratulations on proving you are nothing more than a kook.

[Behind the Blue Wall]

Nobody questions that she was born a U.S. citizen. The question is whether or not she ever became a Canadian citizen, given that the process of becoming a Canadian citizen at the time required renunciation of all other citizenships.

LOL. This is the most retarded debate in history.
