Ted Cruz risks primary disqualification in New Jersey resulting from charges of ballot access fraud. A primary ballot disqualification hearing is scheduled by the Secretary of State for Monday, April 11 at 9:00 a.m. in Mercerville, New Jersey.
Washington D.C. Law Professor Victor Williams charges that Ted Cruz fraudulently certified his constitutional eligibility for office to gain ballot access. Williams demands that Cruz be disqualified from several late-primary ballots: "Cruz committed ballot access fraud in each state when he falsely swore that he was a 'natural born' American citizen." Cruz was born in Calgary, Canada and held his resulting Canadian citizenship until May 2014. Cruz is a naturalized (not natural born) American citizen.
Williams' fraud charges had quick effect in New Jersey. Rather than accepting Cruz's ballot petition when filed last week, the Secretary of State ( Kim Guadagno) scheduled the unusual Administrative Law hearing for April 11. The Canadian-born Cruz must prove that he did not falsely certify his eligibility for office.
Cruz's ballot eligibility is also being challenged in California, Maryland, Montana, Nebraska, Oregon, South Dakota, and Washington.

Trump is going to come in about 60 or 70 delegates short of the 1237 needed. I don’t think he can close this deal.
My projecting doesn’t a candle to Trump’s projecting.
LOL! Psycho Liberal Donnie and his Psycho Liberal Trumpkins are getting more desperate by the hour.
That is why the framers of the constitution inserted the exception "... or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, ...". At the time of the adoption of the Constitution, the oldest natural born citizens (since the Declaration of Independence) were eleven years old.
Clause 5: No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
Seems to me, all he has to do is produce his CRBA. The only thing he has produced is a Canadian birth notice showing his mother’s birth place.
If his mother took a Canadian oath of citizenship prior to him being born he is not a NBC. If she didn’t, but failed to apply for a CRBA, he is not a NBC.
I have read that his mother applied for a CRBA in 1986, 16 years after his birth, for him to get a US passport.
Cruz knows the truth. Seems he has had his records sealed. Wasn’t he the one demanding Trump release his tax records and off the record interviews. Hypocrite?
If he doesn’t respond to the case, which is tomorrow, I wonder if they remove his name from the ballot?
Go ahead and smack yourself silly(ier).
This is not going away, just as Odinga's usurpation will never go away.
A child born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent or parents may acquire U.S. citizenship at birth if certain statutory requirements are met. The child’s parents should contact the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate to apply for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America (CRBA) to document that the child is a U.S. citizen. If the U.S. embassy or consulate determines that the child acquired U.S. citizenship at birth, a consular officer will approve the CRBA application and the Department of State will issue a CRBA, also called a Form FS-240, in the child’s name.
ie: what's your point? They were both born in the US with two US citizen parents.
The more I think about it, and the more I see lame defenses, the more sensible my original question seems. Of course the mom's birth certificate isn't enough. If I wanted to get a passport or register to vote I couldn't use my mother's birth certificate. So where is that piece of paper that affirms that Cruz is even a US citizen? His birth certificate says he isn't.
What's next from the Cruzers? An argument that he's not a citizen but he is a natural born citizen?
Do we have proof that Cruz even had a US citizenship on record when he relinquished his Canadian citizenship a few years ago?
Yieks! I hope you are wrong only because Cruz has a big problem getting actual voters to vote for him. If you took Texas out of the mix, he’d have 3.5 million votes. Yes I know Texas counts but the number without Texas is very dismal.
The 1790 Act of Congress WAS a NATURALIZATION Act ONLY! Cruz relies heavily on this repealed Act of Congress because it the language in it ‘natural born’ was unconstitutional in nature and thus it has NEVER again appeared in any Act of Congress on Immigration & Naturalization.
Ted Cruz is a citizen per the 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act, a.k.a. the McCarran-Walter Act (An act to revise the laws relating to immigration, naturalization, and nationality; and for other purposes)
The nationality laws were revised, therefore, those changes in the law in this act that afforded US citizenship to Ted Cruz because his mother was a US citizen, regardless of the fact that his father was an alien, is the only reason Cruz can claim US citizenship. A law passed 163 yrs after the Constitution was ratified does not make Cruz a natural born. His citizenship is by statute, a.k.a. A1, S8, C4, under Congress authority to write uniform rules of naturalization.
Ted Cruz is a naturalized US citizen, period.
You would be mistaken about the parents nationality because had that been the true test, then every child born to a British loyalist still living in the US after the war ended could have become president. That is absolutely absurd!
Now go study what the word ‘jurisdiction’ means and if it only pertains to local allegiance, as in simply obeying the laws, or rather does it extend to political allegiance t one country, and one alone?
I haven't seen anywhere in the NBC Handbook where people born in the US with two citizen parents are exempt from having to produce a piece of paper saying that they are US citizens and the date it was issued.
“Current Hawaiian US Senator Mazie Hirono was born to a US citizen mother and a foreign father in a foreign land.”
There is a significant difference between Senator Hirono’s and Senator Cruz’s sitiuations. In Hinoro”s case her mother left the US in 1939 at the age of 15 years. She was too young to pass US citizenship on to her daughter. So Senator Hinoro was born only a Japanese citizen and had to naturalize to become an American citizen.
Senator Cruz’s mother was 32 years old when she moved to Canada and was well past the residence requirements of US immigration law. She passed US citizenship to her son at birth. Cruz was born with both US and Canadian citizenship and did not have to naturalize.
Great ping there, Rooster! Thank you!
The issue is whether or not his mother took Canadian citizenship, in which case, she would have had to renounce US citizenship since Canada did not, at that time, recognize dual citizenships. If she renounced and then gave birth, Cruz would not have had US citizenship passed to him.
LOL! Even Ricky Ricardo knows the difference in NBC and Cartel Cruz.
Leave it to the smartest guy in the room to not know he was a Canadian citizen, until a few months back.
Neither Canada, nor the USA, allowed dual citizenship when Ted was born. Ted's Canadian birth certificate says he was a Canadian citizen at birth.
Aside from this inconvenient fact, records show Ted's mother had naturalized as a Canadian citizen prior to his birth, thereby renouncing her US citizenship. She had no US citizenship to pass to Ted at the time of his birth.
Ted Cruz is a natural born citizen of Canada. He is not a natural born citizen of the USA, and may not even be a citizen of the US.
I know the Cruzlims think they are being cute by supporting a candidate that is clearly not eligible, just as the Democrats thought they were cute supporting the Kenyan usurper, and all of them know and knew that their candidate was not eligible for the office of president of the USA.
However, this sort of issue caused oceans of spilled blood in Europe for centuries. It can do the same here. Is this what these idiots really want?
Nice write, there, Thumper.
Ahhh, 1960. That explains it. :)
