George Washington would not have considered Cruz to be eligible for the presidency. Both the 1790 and 1795 laws required the father to be a resident of the USA. Cruz dad was a Canadian citizen. Cruz's dad was pursuing Canadian citizenship by the time of his birth if not already a Canadian. Washington signed both the 1790 and 1795 laws.

Moreover, PM, I don't trust his dad's reasons from then. His student days completed, the Vietnam War raging in 68 and 69, Bienvenido Cruz heads for Canada. Green carders were eligible for the draft and deferment could push the age up to 35. Where did dodgers go? Canada. He goes after citizenship the moment he gets there. Cruz is born in December of 70. The war ends in 75. What does Bienvenido do? Returns to the USA.

Obviously, the us was no place to start an oil software business. Gotta go to Canada for that.

His heart was not in being a us citizen or resident.

He would have flunked the first ‘provided father resident’ section of both laws that Washington signed.

I joined in 70 because my number might have been drawn. I can smell Vietnam era bullshit a mile away and Bienvenido has my radar on alert over this trip to Canada when it happened.

My uncle died there. I'll never forget Vietnam.
