The Cruz birth records are not sealed. Senator Cruz’s records have the same privacy rights as that of any other citizen.
Only a judge can seal a record and any record that is sealed can be unsealed by court order. A judge can also take a look at any record in chambers without releasing the data publicly.
Records maintained by the federal government that pertain to Senator Cruz can be released under a Freedom of Information Act request.
Also congressional subpoenas have the same force of law as a judge’s court order. A committee of Congress could take a look at Senator Cruz’s records if they were so inclined. They aren’t.
All true.
“Records maintained by the federal government that pertain to Senator Cruz can be released under a Freedom of Information Act request.”
That assumes they still exist.
What records do you have from when you were 4 years old?
Certain key records, like a birth certificate are preserved.
But before the age of computers, many documents may have been destroyed long ago.
