” it was impossible for her to be one when Ted was born.”
But Ted was born a Canadian citizen.
Little Trump puffer I see.
You go, his ego needs some more pumping.
To begin with, (and I am not going to waste much time here), There are no citizenship documents.
The only document needed is his birth certificate showing who his Mother was.
That’s it!
End of Mystery and subsequent nutcase conspiracy.
If you had one person to accuse of being a "Manchurian Candidate," what person would you choose?

If Obama was born in Kenya to a woman that was a U.S. Citizen (she was wasn’t she?) then he’s a natural born citizen. The difference is Obama SAID he was born in Kenya, then said he was born in Hawaii. He was lying then, or is lying now.
Thank you for the wise reply. Guess we’ll have to just hide and watch what happens on that subject. However, you lost me at your reference to foolish young people.
Trump doesn’t have that many gullible young followers, proportionally speaking. His supporters are the regular folks who get out and go to the job every day and keep the Country running; or Seniors who worked all their lives and paid their dues, and now are hoping to stop the libs from pi$$ing it all away.
Are we still discussing Trump or have we jumped to Sanders? It’s no mystery why the young skulls full of mush are flocking after the old socialist fossil. Our government run schools, from K-4 right up through post-grad have been pumping them full of the glories of socialism for half a century.
He has released his birth certificate. It is on the net someplace...
That is the only document required.
As to his Canadian duel citizenship that he was entitled to because his father became a Canadian for a short time, he rescinded it. Perhaps it is these docs that you want to see, but it has absolutely no bearing on his US citizenship or his qualifications as a candidate.
You are quite patient.
Almost saintly in how you nicely explain things to fools of ill will.
Apparently, actually knowing something about law isn’t much of a consideration for the North American Law Center. As you pointed out, natural born citizens don’t have citizenship papers; everybody’s birth certificate is sealed and the Constitution provides that the Senate is the judge of the qualifications of its own members.
If we didn't have a Kenyan sitting in the White Hut, I might be able to get a miniature "tingle" out of this. Unfortunately, who shives a git whether someone is an American or not? We've got illegal alien invaders registering to vote for the Socialist DemocRAT Party all over the place. America has become a fundamentally deformed, lawless banana republic. Get used to it.
His dual citizenship was a product of the fathers Canadian citizenship. Ted's citizenship came from the Mother at birth. There is no question about this.
As to his eligibility, at the time of his birth, US statutes gave him natural born status. This is supported by a long line of legal reasoning going back to the first congresses.
I will mention that there is a contrarian opinion but that opinion has failed all recent legal tests.
Sorry but it really might. What ever he is hiding should be revealed whatever it may be.
Listen asshole. You don’t need to be a natural born citizen to be a Senator.
And, Cruz is a natural born citizen.
He had dual citizenship as result of the Father.
He was born of a American Mother on a VISA. He was born a American citizen.
I believe by US law at the time he was born, his Mother wasn't old enough to pass on citizenship at birth. He needed to be born on US soil to have any claim to US citizenship. That's the reason for all the desperate narrative about him being born in Hawaii.
Actually I do.
One is a certified birth certificate and the other is my passport a third is my RealID drivers license
As far as I know, he is not hiding anything. he has released the only document required.
It could be that the Canadians are not opening their files to US reporters, and thus he is accused of hiding something.
But as I said, the only file they would have would be the request to rescind teds dual status as both a Canadian and a US citizen. He probably would not have even known it was on file as they don’t send you trophy or GREETING FROM THE QUEEN or anything..and he had never returned to Canada.
They have also asked for documents related to teds, Mother’s visa and the father’s documents as well. All these requests to Canada, not ted.
My understanding was that it was noted during his run for Senate.
This matter has no bearing on his eligibility and thus is only important to some news’s fishing for dirt.
Just out of curiosity, what “recent legal tests” has it failed? Could you be specific?
“I believe by US law at the time he was born, his Mother wasn’t old enough to pass on citizenship at birth. He needed to be born on US soil to have any claim to US citizenship. That’s the reason for all the desperate narrative about him being born in Hawaii. “
That is exactly correct, but they did not go after this aspect in court and instead wasted all that time on the BC.
The reason is simple...The courts hate to get involved in political matters regarding the natural born argument even if presented evidence so they saw the BC as the only way to unseat Obama as it was more in the line of a fraud.
Most recently are some three suits tossed out on Cruz, but over the last 100 years or so, there have been a number of legal arguments. Many of these were not directly related to a case. Some were only dicta resulting from a case.
When I say failed legal tests, I don’t necessarily have a case to refer to. In many instances, it is the fact that the case was NOT brought, that indicates the failure. I think that is the telling of the failure.
