Since a person has to be a resident of Canada for five years before they can apply for citizenship, Cruz’s mother could not have been anything other than a U.S. citizen. She moved there in 1967. Cruz was born in 1970.
It is not a question of her being a citizen of the US. The question is whether Cruz is a Natural Born Citizen which is the requirement of the constitution to be eligible for the Presidency and calls for BOTH parents to be Citizens of the US.Cruz’s father was a citizen of Cuba, then Canada, and FINALLY, AFTER Ted Cruz was born became a US Citizen. Cruz is NOT a natural born citizen.
