Why? Ted’s father became a Canadian citizen.
****************************************************
The author uses the words “America” and the “United States” interchangeably. Canada is part of America, so yes, he’s an American citizen. I’m going to leave it up to others to decide if he’s a United States citizen.
I could easily vote for Cruz if he makes it to the general election but he somehow must clear up this issue before then because the democrats aren’t going to forget it.
“Canada is part of America, so yes, he’s an American citizen.”
That is complete nonsense. Cruz is an American citizen because of the naturalization laws passed by Congress.
Our Founders bequeathed the identifier “American” to citizens of the United States only. When George Washington was preparing the crossing of the Delaware, he issued orders that only Americans were to stand watch. There was no confusion about what he meant.
In the history books, when “American” is used, there is no confusion about who it refers to, and it is definitely not a Canadian.
