I find that interesting. What (else) is Ted hiding?
Personally, I don’t think his mother ever filed a CRBA after Ted was born. Any military family born abroad knows this form well. So administratively speaking, Ted may have never been a U.S. Citizen. There’s a reason the only record he’s ever shown is his Canadian Birth Certificate. There is/should be a paper trail for all of this. If he produced it, along with a U.S. Passport, he would go a long way to satisfying a lot of people.
