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?
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.
