What court ruled in Cruz favor?
His father didn’t become a US citizen unit 2005, when he renounced his Canadian citizenship.
No, they are American citizens by virtue of law and statutes. Did you have to fill out paperwork for them?
I know I did for my son born in Germany. He was not automatically a citizen, even though born of two American citizens at a Military Base. I had to have forms filed with the State Department.
It would be very simple for Cruz to clear this up. If he wins the nomination without doing so, the democrats will make sure it gets cleared up when it is is too late to do a thing about it.
Has it been easy to clear up obummer? Nope!

No, it hasn’t been easy because the worthless cowardly court system in this country refuses to do the job that the Constitution vests in them. By all manner of device and side step they have punted every time.
That's immaterial when you get right down to it. His claim to US citizenship survives Canada's limitations, and no matter how you cut it, whether he had the claim adjudicated as an infant, or has it adjudicated tomorrow, he is a naturalized US citizen.
Let’s assign Sheriff Joe to find the CRBA.
Both documents have the same legal effect, they are evidence of natrualized US citizenship. A person born in the US cannot get a FS-240.
“...children of citizens..” Note the plurality.
If you have anything beyond mere speculation, provide it. Otherwise you are just stirring the pot. It is not an easy thing to renounce your citizenship, and even harder to regain your citizenship once it is renounced. Ted's mom is a US citizen and was at the time of his birth. That is all that matters with regard to her.
Unsubstantiated Comments like these are why "birthers" are looked upon with such contempt by most of the population. They rank down there with the "9-11 truthers" and the tin-foil hat crowd. "What if"... "How do we know"... "I heard"... Never provide any proof of their claims, just throw out FUD.
The link didn't work. What is the case that struck down citizenship retention? The Bellei case upheld a retention requirement. The retention rquirement when Bellei was born was 5 years before age 21.
I think the reference is to NH election board (case dismissed without reaching the merits), and IL election board (summarily found NBC without addressing the objector’s legal argument)
So you’re saying he’s a NBC of two different countries?
German law is different from British law. The Germans have always gone for being of German blood rather then being merely born in Germany.
Mom's US bc plus Cruz's Canadian bc is all that's needed to document that he is a citizen.
You said both your children are British nbc and USA nbc.
So are they loyal to Britain or to USA? or to both countries (i.e. they have divided loyalty!)?
And congratulation - one of them can be British prime minister and the other can be US president! Together they will rule the world.
That's false.
Mom has to be a US citizen when Ted is born. Her BC doesn't prove that.
Also, mom and dad had to be married. Also, mom had to be a US resident for a minimum period of time before Ted was born.
I'm not saying those facts aren't true, just saying that the two BC's don't prove them.
Read the title of the FS-240 "Report of Birth Abroad of a US Citizen" with that form you either applied (like I did) for a US passport or added him to yours when you went back to the States. Look at the documents required to get the FS-240, these same document's could have been used to get his passport instead. He was automatically a US citizen.
"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."

My son was a natural born citizen of Germany at birth, a citizenship he had to renounce at age 18.
