Well, it means it is unfortunate his mother did not get Ted a CRBA upon birth, which made him a full on Canadian citizen until 1986 when his mother applied for a CRBA for Ted since he needed to be a U.S. citizen to get a U.S. passport to take a high school trip abroad. The good thing is he has a CRBA since age 16, and it can be applied for at any age I have read, so he IS a U.S. citizen so his senate seat is not in danger. However, this does point out the fact he WAS a Canadian citizen until 1986, when he became a dual national, and until he recently renounced his Canadian citizenship. This absolutely underlines the fact when he came in to the U.S. around age 4, it was without a passport, and as a Canadian citizen. If, as some are suggesting, the mother had taken Canadian citizenship and renounced her American citizenship, then at that point were they both illegal aliens?????? Ted Cruz, do us all a favor before we commit to you...get this settled.

[[ D. Application for Certificate of Citizenship (Form N-600)

A person born abroad who acquires U.S. citizenship at birth is not required to file an Application for Certificate of Citizenship (Form N-600). A person who seeks documentation of such status, however, must submit an application to obtain a Certificate of Citizenship from USCIS.]]

It further states that just because someone doesnt file for CoC, (form N-600) doesnt mean they arent a full citizen, it infact states that they do not have to go through a naturalization process

A person may also apply for a U.S. Passport with the Department of State to serve as evidence of his or her U.S. citizenship.

A person who is at least 18 years of age may submit the Application for Certificate of Citizenship on his or her own behalf. If the application is for a child who has not reached 18 years of age, the childs U.S. citizen parent or legal guardian must submit the application.]]
