The State Department will issue a passport to a citizen born abroad, without a CRBA. The applicant has to submit the same evidence for either citizenship credential. If a person has a CRBA, it simplifies the passport application process.
Thank you, Cboldt. I actually was sent a copy of the specific chapter and verse...I’m learning so much. Glad he will not lose his Senate seat over this. The huge amount of postings on this subject every time it comes up, just proves this is not going away unless Cruz grabs the bull by the horns and applies for a ruling...I fear it will disqualify him, though.
