Can a former natural-born Canadian citizen be President of the United States of America? It is the original intent of the Constitution that a person who was for over 40 years a natural-born citizen of another country to be President? It it even remotely possible that the founders added “natural born” to the Presidential citizenship requirement for no reason?
Do you know what the definition of ‘natural born’ is?
Was Cruz required to apply for US citizenship? Is he formally listed as 'naturalized'? The citizenship issue is totally bogus.
Yes, if he/she is also a natural-born citizen of the United States of America, like Cruz.
BTW, Cruz gave up his Canadian citizenship a few years ago.
It wasn’t added for no reason, they didn’t want immigrants to be able to become President. They only required 14 years of residency in the U.S. to become President, so obviously they weren’t paranoid that someone who lived outside the U.S. for even most of their life would be some sort of evil foreign agent. It’s up to other countries to decide who becomes a citizen or not. Canada could make everyone in the U.S. a citizen now if they wanted. It’s irrelevant to someone’s qualifications. Did they leave out a part of the Constitution that might have said you can’t be a dual citizen for a reason?
