“...So Ted Cruz would have been a natural born citizen by that statute, as long as his mother was considered a citizen (his father had been resident in the USA before taking the job in Canada). ...”
Good points!
Cruz’ dad had U.S. residency before he married Eleanor, and when Cruz was born, neither he nor Eleanor had been in Canada long enough to become Canadian citizens.
Then when they came back to the US, only Ted’s dad had become Canadian.
Now Ted’s dad is a US citizen.
There’s no doubt in my mind as to Ted’s loyalties.
We have Eleanor and Ted’s actual birth certs; more than can be said for 0; all we have for him is his mom’s actual one, and a fake one for him.
Plus him saying he was born in Kenya and then changing his tune when he was fixing to run for president; there’s also newspaper and Kenyan confessional record saying he was born in kenya.
And now for the last seven years, we’ve seen where 0’s loyalties lie- —NOT— with the US.
A world of difference.
My votes for Cruz.
I guess you didn’t get the memo from the Cruz campaign ....
Cruz’s father, Rafael Bienvenido Cruz, has confirmed taking Canadian citizenship. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/01/08/ted-cruz-parents-canada-voters-list/
“I worked in Canada for eight years,” Rafael Cruz says. “And while I was in Canada, I became a Canadian citizen.”
The elder Cruz says he renounced his Canadian citizenship when he finally became a U.S. citizen in 2005, 48 years after leaving Cuba. Why did he take so long to do it? http://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2013/06/20/193585553/how-ted-cruzs-father-shaped-his-views-on-immigration
