Let’s be principled and start deportation proceedings on Ted Cruz, who illegally obtained a passport, as well as, a Senate seat. Since he has not been forthcoming with his CRBA he needs to go, immediately.
I have no problem with a deportation hearing for Cruz. I think he can prove he’s a citizen, but not a natural born one. All he has to do is prove that his mother met the 10 year/5 year rule then in effect, and that she never renounced her citizenship. (And no, taking up Canadian citizenship wouldn’t have functioned to renounce. You have to appear before a US consular official, outside of the United States, and go through a formal process, and there is no indication that she ever did so).
