I disagree. Now, although I am not a skilled researcher, I have spent hundreds of hours researching this topic. Over seven years. Specifically the dual citizenship angle.
Tribe. Lee. Natelson. Mary Brigid McManamon. All recently concurred that the original intent of the clause would certainly exclude Cruz. They aren’t birthers. They are all well respected Constitutional law professors and serious Constitutional scholars.
I was pleased to find that although my research methods are haphazard, my findings mirrored theirs. There is hope for me yet it appears.
Since I began my work long before Cruz was in the picture, Ted was clearly not in my sights. Once his dual citizenship was revealed, and the fact that he was born in Canada came out, well, I can not overlook that. Based upon my own many hours of hands-on research, I know him to be ineligible. Problematically people these days don’t care to study a topic before KNOWING something. I believe you have to take steps to learn before you can know.
US generally does not recognize dual citizenship, but still grants US citizenship if by some other operation of law, the person has claim to a second citizenship, as in this case.
