Uh oh! Now you've done it! The Cruz birthers will be after you!

‘Under the SCOTUS decision in Perkins v. Elg a minor child cannot give up their US citizenship ...’
So a repatrioted whore could get herself a bastard from the King of England who grooms the kid on his knee to run for President in the US? Interesting. I thought our Founding Fathers were smarter than that?
Oh, and she could become a lordess in the House of Lords at the same time.
Excellent post! I appreciate your input and humor!
If his mother became a Canadian citizen and repatrioted, is Cruz still natural-born?
Bingo!
The list was a census list, listing all the people, not an official voter list. His mother did not become a citizen of Canada - even if she wanted to, she had not lived there five years which is required to become a citizen - she was there 3 years only. She did not give up her US citizenship.
One would have to be a nut case to give up US citizenship and she was a graduate of Rice University in Houston, the same University my son attended and graduated. They only accept 500 new students every year, and those have to be extremely smart or they do not get in. Due to his scores and community service (working for free for NASA in the summers), my son was accepted to Rice and automatically became a member of MENSA. I tell you that background to underscore the fact his mother had to be highly intelligent to attend Rice. No smart person would ever give up US citizenship.
This particular post by Marcella might put this article to bed once and for all [if not already posted here].

[Outstanding! Copying your post here to the root-accusation thread.]
1) this census was taken AFTER Sen Cruz was born (1970).
2) It was not LEGALLY POSSIBLE for his mother to be a Canadian citizen as Canada required 5 years of residence to apply for citizenship. Since the Cruzes moved to Canada in 1967, this requirement could not have been met. His mother was a US Citizen at his birth.

What bothers me about this is: didn't Rafael and the wife arrive in Canada at the same time, or was he living there already? Rafael became a citizen.
All that said, it is irrelevant, since the founding fathers did not accept maternal transmission of natural born status.
Maybe it’s impossible, but I would like this controversy cleared up one way or another.
I ran a google search [advanced] on ...
“natural born status”
... and ...
“maternal transmission”
Your post here is the only hit. Did you find a way to cut through the legalese cobwebs?
His mother was a US citizen well over 21 years old so in accordance with the law, he was born one, period. Everything else is irrelevant.
McConnell: No, Senate won’t pass resolution affirming Cruz’s eligibility like it did for McCain

Why can Mc-Conman do this? Because he has a revered creep — Professor Laurence Tribe, undermining Cruz [regarding natural born status].
Tribe is a creep, Mc-Conman is a creep, and they flock together.
The key to unraveling this is to completely obliterate Tribe’s aura of intellectual ‘superiority’.
If Cruz can’t do it, NO ONE can. He made a little stab at it here:

Cruz should challenge Tribe to a fair debate [no moderators, just a timer] and tear the guy open. Until he does that or something equally effective, this issue will fester.
The issue is a distraction, the last thing he should do is have a debate about it with Larry Tribe.
‘... the last thing he should do is have a debate about it with Larry Tribe...’
We have a senate refusing to clear his eligibility — a republican senate. So like it or not ... it IS an issue.
You say the issue is an easy win. Rush does not think it is. Natural born status is confusing — murky. That’s his take. And Rush likes Cruz.
