If he did not close the paperwork to conclusion, he is technically an illegal alien.
That's not to say he could not take care of all of it post facto, the State Department has forms and processes for that too.
The paper trail can be established, and that's the least we should ask of every single candidate, every time.
Who would support having a Ballistic Missile Submarine Captain who did not, or could not provide documentary proof of his citizenship?
A POTUS has command over dozens of those, and many hundreds of others who have command authority over Nuclear weapons.
What paperwork? He has a record of birth to a US citizen, same as I. That is the paperwork we both used to get a Passport.
If it goes this far, former Sec. of State Hillary or her surrogates during the general election: Senator Cruz can you show us your CRBA to confirm that you are citizen? Of course ‘900 FBI file’ SHillary would already know the answer to this as the former head of the US State Department.
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.
