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.
.
And you have nothing to support your position except infantile insults.
Cruz had no passport at the age of four right? Cause he traveled on his mothers. To the US. With no CRBA. He had to apply for a passport as a teen. A bit late to establish US citizenship, but whatever.
Here is the complete excerpt from the State Dept.
“The child’s parents may choose to apply for a U.S. passport for the child at the same time that they apply for a CRBA. Parents may also choose to apply only for a U.S. passport for the child. Like a CRBA, a full validity, unexpired U.S. passport is proof of U.S. citizenship.
Parents of a child born abroad to a U.S. citizen or citizens should apply for a CRBA and/or a U.S. passport for the child as soon as possible.”
If I may make a point - THE PARENTS HAVE TO APPLY. APPLY. As in fill out a form, provide supporting documents, pay the fee. From the State Dept; “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.”
Hence - you are wrong.
Here is Ted speaking to the newspaper about renouncing his Canadian citizenship:
“By Aaron Blake August 19, 2013
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) announced Monday evening that he will renounce his Canadian citizenship, less than 24 hours after a newspaper pointed out that the Canadian-born senator likely maintains dual citizenship.
“Now the Dallas Morning News says that I may technically have dual citizenship,” Cruz said in a statement. “Assuming that is true, then sure, I will renounce any Canadian citizenship. Nothing against Canada, but I’m an American by birth and as a U.S. senator; I believe I should be only an American.”

How can he renounce a citizenship that he never had?
