Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) introduced a bill this week to stop non-citizens from voting in local elections in Washington, D.C. The legislation comes in response to a newly passed law in the nation’s capital that gives non-citizens, including illegal immigrants, the right to vote in municipal races. “Allowing
non-citizens, including aliens occupying our nation illegally, to exercise a right reserved for American citizens not only violates the constitutional principles our nation was founded upon, but also naively invites foreign meddling in our elections,” Cruz said in a press release. “Voting is a privilege and the tool by which American citizens...

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, threw his support behind President Donald Trump’s proposal to end birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants Wednesday in an interview on Fox News. “As a policy matter, President Trump is exactly right. Birthright
citizenship doesn’t make any sense,” Cruz told Fox News’ Shannon Bream. “What it ends up doing is incentivizing illegal immigration. We need to be securing the border and stopping illegal immigration,” he added. Cruz briefly discussed the debate among legal scholars about the means by which birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants might be ended — whether an act of...

New Jersey court rules that Ted Cruz is a “natural born citizen” eligible to become president

Washington Post ^
| 4/14/16 | Ilya Somin
On Tuesday, New Jersey Administrative law Judge Jeff Masin ruled against a lawsuit claiming that Senator Ted Cruz is not eligible to become president because he is not a “natural born citizen.” The
plaintiffs claimed that Cruz is ineligible because, although he is the son of a US citizen, he was born in Canada (where his parents were living at the time). Judge Masin’s opinion is notable for its detailed analysis of the evidence on the original meaning of the “natural born citizen” and recent scholarship on the subject. I think the opinion is well-reasoned and very persuasive. Judge Masin...

Are Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz ‘natural born citizens?’ Broward judge to hear case

A case challenging the eligibility of Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio to run for president will be heard in Broward County court at 11 a.m. Friday. The crux of the case: the meaning of the phrase "natural born citizen" and how it applies to the two Republican senators. Rubio
was born in Miami in 1971 to Cuban immigrants who became citizens a few years later. Cruz was born in Canada to a Cuban-born father and American mother, who moved to Texas when Cruz was four. "These two candidates are naturalized U.S. citizens, or at the very least, simply fail to...

Canadian Ted Cruz: Does He Have Documents To Prove He's A US Citizen And Eligible To Be Pres?

According to the Obama administration, because Obama's mother was U.S. citizen and because he was reportedly born in Hawaii, he has the necessary qualifications to be President. But many, dubbed "birthers" by Obama supporters, still believe he was born in Kenya. If true, the argument goes, he would not be qualified to
hold the Executive office because regardless of his mother's citizenship, he was not born on U.S. soil. The latter is a legitimate argument and one that appears to be supported by the Constitution, though no court has ever clearly defined the meaning of a "natural born citizen." Republican...

There's a clean question on the table regarding dual citizenship for persons born in Canada prior to 1977 (when they changed their law to officially recognize dual nationality.) Prior
to that date, with few exceptions, you could not hold dual nationality with Canada. In other words the very act of "renouncing" Canadian Citizenship means that Cruz never held US citizenship at birth because his parents had to declare his nationality at the time he was born. There may be exceptions that were available at the time but the law now is immaterial. The only material fact is what the law...

The United States Constitution requires presidents to be “natural born citizensâ€. The
original Constitution doesn’t define “natural born citizenâ€, but the 14th Amendment states there are two categories of U.S. citizens: those who are born in the United States and those who are naturalized under Acts of Congress.
