Because he conveniently didn’t mention his Canadian citizenship to them when he ran for the Senate the first time. Other reasons too, but that one’s enough.

You are the subject of misinformation.

Cruz was a Canadian citizen only by Canadian law, which was irrelevant to his case. By American law, the only relevant citizenship law, he was an American citizen from birth.

And, no, if he was not familiar with Canadian citizenship law -- and he had no reason to be -- he would not necessarily have known that. That whole issue is a red herring.

******************

Requirements for Senator is one thing and the requirement of Natural Born Citizen for
President is another. NBC is the hooker for Cruz in the Presidential qualifications.

The first nine presidents of the USA were born before the USA became a nation of its own.
However they were all born on the soil of what was to become the USA. Cruz can’t say
that since he was born in Canada.

How this all plays may or may not be determined until when and if Cruz ever becomes the
Presidential candidate or the President in fact.

You need to stop taking drugs, you are living in a fancy world.

You are trying to tell us the most "brilliant Harvard educated attorney" did not know that his birth in Canada to Canadian parents made him a Canadian citizen at birth? We know Ted Cruz's father was a Canadian citizen when Ted was born and there is good reason to think Ted's mom was too. Technically without a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA), and none has been presented, Ted Cruz is not even a citizen of these United States. He is a illegal immigrant. You would think a "brilliant" lawyer like Ted might be a little curious about his citizen status.
