You write so many idiotic comments to flame all things Trump, but this one is so dense it’s laughable.
I haven’t flown anywhere in years yet even lowly little me has an up to date passport - hint for the narrow minded, many average people do in fact have passports. Your comment just makes you sound like a harpy.
I’ve flown places in recent years, but all domestically. My passport expired nearly 15 years ago.
Many people do have paaports. But many don’t.
In any case, trump lied. Sen. Cruz never had “dual passports.”
Well I would suggest everyone get a passport as it seems there is a push to require them to travel domestically, at least here in the sick state of IL, that’s the new deal.
I have no idea what the truth is at this point, I find so much of it to be rather curious and I have to ask, who are all Ted’s citizenship records sealed? What did I miss?
You really do have no idea of what the truth is.
Sen. Cruz’ birth certificate is readily available. He gave it to the media, himself. As most Americans don’t have “citizenship” documents, I’m not sure what he could release. I don’t have any such documents. Do you? Why would I expect Sen. Cruz to have them? If you mean his passport, 1) that’s not a “citizenship” document, 2) what would that prove that his birth certificate would not and 3) I’m not sure that State Department would be that gung-ho with a sitting US senator giving out copies of his passport.”
Do you want him to offer proof of his non-existent (despite what trump’s lies are) Canadian passport? That would be a humorous release to the media, “here is a photo of my non-existent Canadian passport.
I have found the source of the timeline. It is the North American Law Center.
http://northamericanlawcenter.org
from their home page
The North American Law Center (NALC) is a non-partisan non-profit public policy research and analysis organization with a focus on the Rule of Law in America, the U.S. Justice System, Constitutional Law and History, Military Law and the UCMJ. Although NALC has affiliate legal counsel, NALC itself is not a licensed law practice.
It says non-partisan, but it looks conservative to me- at least what I have seen so far.
Hope this helps.
I’ll attempt to find what I read in relation to this scenario. Of course I don’t have ‘papers’ but I wasn’t born in another country nor am I running for office.
You don’t get “papers” other than a birth certificate, if you’re born in Canada and move to the United States at age 4. At that age, a child doesn’t even need a separate passport.
If you thought about it, you would realize you’re asking the wrong questions, anyway. Cruz’ automatic, natural born citizenship comes through his mother. Other than his birth certificate, there’s not much else for him to show.
“Hey Ted, I hate to break it to you, but Congress does not have the power to change the Constitution.”
You are so right but there seem to be a lot of people including many on FR who cannot grasp that concept. Also born a citizen does not necessarily mean the same as natural born citizen and very few seem to grasp that. I don’t think I have ever seen a question with such an uncertain answer but at the same time such huge numbers of “experts” who think they know the correct answer.

You’re hilarious! Queen of snark, enjoy your miserable hate filled life, it bleeds through on every post you make.
Thanks, I know you’re the genius of this site, so I’ll just take your word for it.
It appears that YOU are the one who is mistaken. The US State Department, on establishing US citizenship of a child born abroad to an American parent or parents:
https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/abroad/events-and-records/birth.html
The CRBA....Consular Report of Birth Abroad is NOT “optional.”
And Cruz has not produced one.
“A child born abroad to a U.S. citizen parent or parents may acquire U.S. citizenship at birth if certain statutory requirements are met. The child’s parents should contact the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate to apply for a Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America (CRBA) to document that the child is a U.S. citizen. 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.”
“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. Failure to promptly document a child who meets the statutory requirements for acquiring U.S. citizenship at birth may cause problems for the parents and the child when attempting to establish the child’s U.S. citizenship and eligibility for the rights and benefits of U.S. citizenship, including entry into the United States.”
