Cruz was a Natural Born Citizen of Canada. Anyone with half a brain would know that his Canadian Citizenship can't be second to US Citizenship acquired because his mother was an American Citizen.

AND...in fact....Cruz gave up his Canadian Citizenship after someone said.....Whoa Mr Cruz...You're no Natural Born Citizen of the USA....as required by the Constitution.

Different with John McCain who was born to two American parents at a US Navy base in Panama. Nobody questioned his American citizenship or his eligibility to be President, i.e., a “natural born” American citizen.

I remember that situation with Cruz the dual citizen, too. Smartest lawyer on the planet would've/should've given that up long ago. That and his campaign's really nasty tactics broke the spell for me. It also got me wondering, pure speculation, if we didn't have the Obama situation wrong. Did his Indonesian dad adopt him, thus making him a citizen there? We really don't know.

There's a reason for the "natural born citizen" restriction. Keeps us from being taken over by folks with conflicted loyalties.
