You know that you are incorrect. Everyone here who researched it even a little bit knows that you are incorrect.

Ted was in Canada until the age of four. The parents had a business in Canada, and his father certainly did apply for citizenship in Canada. Seems that the family initially planned on remaining in Canada as citizens.

To establish US citizenship rights for a child born in Canada the US parent had to make an appointment, fill out forms, present certain documents and pay fees. It was a process. You don’t show up with a kid and your passport, and a Canadian birth certificate for said kid, and they just had over a passport for the kid. He didn’t get a passport until he was a teen - per Cruz’ own bio. Ted C had to go through a process to renounce his Canadian citizenship also - forms, documents and fees. Fact; his campaign detailed that process he had gone through.

I read the State Dept website also - it seems to be circular and actually gives conflicting information, if you are reading beyond the snippet that supports what you claim. The Canadian housed US Consulate website gives clearer information. Forms must be completed, submitted, fees paid.

You are wrong on all counts.

Births outside of country are common, and little is required beyond proof that the child is less than 8 years old when parents return.

If Ted had wanted Canadian citizenship, he would have had to request it. Since he didn’t there was nothing to renounce.

US pass[ports are not issued to children less than 6 years old; they always travel on parents’ passports.

There are no fees to pay.

You’re full of nonsense. My son has traveled with his twins to and from his vacation condo in Cabo 5 times and they do not yet have passports. They will have to get passports this year for the first time, as their 6th birthday is in this coming May.

You’re just imagining up stupidity.
