He was supposed to be 9 years a citizen in order to be a senator...and he wasn’t. He’s only been a citizen for a year and a half.
And he isn’t ‘natural born’ to qualify as president.
I’m glad he’s out of the race.
I hope he has a good life...outside of American politics.
Either Cruz has been a naturalized citizen since birth, when his mother registered his birth with American consul in Canada, or since his father became a naturalized citizen — or else he is not a citizen at all. He didn’t just automatically become a US citizen by giving up his Canadian citizenship. There is a process that all foreigners have to go through to become US citizens, including Canadians.
Since Cruz has a US passport, he is a US citizen. You cannot get a passport without proving your citizenship, which means since his birth certificate showed a Canadian birth, he had to submit proof that he had been naturalized at some point.
Cruz is most definitely a US Citizen, but he is naturalized, not natural born, and not even native born. His candidacy, like Obama’s, was founded on a lie.
He’s only been a citizen for a year and a half.
*****************
Do you have data as to when Cruz became a US citizen. There are some congress critters
with dual citizenship and others that work in the administration with dual citizenship.
Sorry, Lady, you are mistaken. Cruz has been a U.S. citizen since birth -- 45 years ago.
And, though he was eligible to become one after reaching his majority, he was never a Canadian citizen -- since he did not affirmatively choose to do so.
