It’s my understanding that if 1 parent is a citizen (as Ted’s was at the time of birth), then he is a US Citizen. He held a dual Canadian (place of birth) and US citizenship until a few months ago when he gave up his Canadian citizenship.

Debate re his citizenship on numerous places on FR. Here are 2 examples:

There is a statute that describes the conditions for US citizenship at birth. The current version is 8 USC 1401.

It’s interesting in that this whole topic and definitions changed once the discussion of 0bama’s eligibility became an issue.

Read historic explanations too and it’s obvious the US has changed definitions to meet what we want citizenship to be, not what it was meant to be. Then some idiot journalist writes about it with condensation towards anyone who questions the current beliefs versus accepted beliefs that were used for over a hundred years.

Typical BS about PC. Just change meanings to suit the left’s needs.
