Does Ted Cruz have Dual Citizenship?

[Kondor3]

...Ted Cruz's mother obtained a Canadian citizenship....which requires an oath of allegiance. That may have disqualified her to keep her American citizenship...

If there was no action at-law prior to Cruz' birth, then none of that makes the slightest difference. If Cruz' mother was a citizen the day he was born, then so is Cruz. Finis.

The great irony is that Raphael (Ted) Cruz, the Cubnadian performance artist, touts himself as a "Constitutional Originalist"...which would make him ineligible.

Constitutional Cruz Control

From what I see in your link, the author is making assumptions. That's the problem with lawyers and regressives, they try to split hairs and play semantics games when plain language would better serve the situation.

Funny how Republicans made such an issue over Obama's eligibility (and Obama was born in the United States - even is his mother had been from Mars, the fact he was born in the US settled the matter) and now they are glossing over the glaring fact that Cruz wasn't even born in the United States. I'm sure that enough interest in the truth will be generated to cause Ted Cruz plenty of angst.......Karma is a *****.

What Republicans? very few actually, but you live in a bubble. You and reality are unacquainted

Very few Republicans? Really.....you may be the one that is living in a bubble. But then, most conservatives live in a state of denial.......... They're also not informed...40% think Cruz was born in the US....goes to show the ignorance that abounds.

Turns out a majority of Iowa’s likely Republican caucusgoers — 59% — share Trump’s skepticism.
The new Des Moines Register/Bloomberg Politics Iowa Poll asked: “Do you believe Barack Obama was born in the United States or not?
Just 42% say yes, he was born in the U.S., with the remainder divided between those who express confidence he was not (35%) and those who do not know (24%).
Among Trump’s supporters, though, even more believe Obama wasn’t born in the U.S. (46%); 25% aren’t sure; and 29% say he was born in the U.S.
Iowa Poll: Many Republicans still doubt Obama was born in U.S.

Was Born In USA;

Bwahahaha....just because you say so doesn't mean it is "finis"........you obviously didn't read the part where "if you make an oath of allegiance to another country....you may lose your American citizenship" .....we've yet to find out if Teddy is just wasting his time and yours.....

Here's a link that says when Cruz finally got rid of his Canadian citizenship.....

It's official: Ted Cruz a citizen of the U.S. - and the U.S. only - CNNPolitics.com

Yes, Cruz did have dual citizenship, but according to what he told CNN, he thought that because he hadn't lived in Canada since he was 4, he never really thought much about it. It was only when it came up when he was looking into running for president that he found out he actually was a dual citizen, and then took steps to get rid of his Canadian citizenship, and became a full US citizen.

OK, but would that make him a natural born citizen? From the way I understand it natural born and being a citizen are two different things.

One of his parents was American, which means when he was born, he was born American.

He's an American, but is he a natural born American? The SC has never defined that. An American President, born in Canada? Hmmm, seems we might have a problem after all...

Personally I hope the court takes the case and rules only a person born to two citizens is a citizen, just like the common law all the regressives have posted say. That would
absolutely be the best outcome.

It will be only one parent, the question is, must you be born on soil under American jurisdiction at the time, like John McCain?

Funny how you've ignored what I've said on the subject.

What did you say? That there is no discussion? That Ted Cruz is a citizen because he was born one? Cruz wasn't born in the US and there is sufficient doubt that he may not be eligible since he kept his Canadian citizenship until just recently. Someone has filed a suit against him, so I guess we'll soon find out.

Your previous statement:

According to the Constitution there are only two ways to become a citizen, be born one, which Cruz was, or be a naturalized citizen.

In fact, Teddy may be in some more serious trouble, since he didn't reveal that he had Canadian citizenship when he ran for the Senate....which is considered a fraud. Not to mention the fact that he and his wife also didn't disclose a big fat loan they got to fund his campaign, required by the Federal Election Committee. It may not cause him more trouble but it sure exposes Ted Cruz as a fraud and a liar.



In short, Sen. Ted Cruz was a legal citizen of Canada when he ran for and became a U.S. Senator, without ever having disclosed his Canadian citizenship to Texas voters, which under both Texas and U.S. Election law, is an act of fraud. Ted Cruz had committed election fraud by failing to disclose to Texas voters that he was a Canadian citizen in 2012.
By having retained his Canadian citizenship until 2014 means that he “could” have voted in Canada and ran for the Canadian Parliament at the same time he was in the U.S. Senate. This eligibility issue is showing a lack of integrity on the part of Cruz.
Cruz Says 'If Obama Can Do It, So Can I' - Dr. Rich Swier


The Federal Election Committee requires candidates to disclose loans that are used to fund their campaigns, in order to increase transparency and ensure that candidates aren’t getting sweetheart rates from banks. Cruz did not disclose the loans, one of which came from his wife’s employer—Goldman Sachs.
Cruz Didn’t Disclose up to $1 Million in Senate Campaign Loans From Goldman Sachs, Citibank

The suit will be dismissed for lack of standing, just like the ones on your dear leader. Otherwise feel free to keep grasping for those straws, you might get lucky.

The claims against Obama were always bogus........that's why you all resorted to the lie that he was born in Kenya. It's not looking that clear for Teddy, and these aren't "straws".
The fact that Teddy's mother obtained Canadian citizenship may have disqualified her as an American citizen...but keep holding on to your dream....if it gives you warm fuzzies.

And because becoming a Canadian citizen requires an oath of allegiance—and Section 349 of the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act stipulates that American citizens who swear allegiance to another country may lose their American citizenship—it seems possible that Cruz's mother may have lost her American citizenship. This would mean that Cruz was not a U.S. citizen at the time of his birth and is therefore ineligible to become president.

Damn you're good at cutting and pasting, did she get this supposed citizenship before or after little Teddy was born? Why do you post assumptions without the facts?

Hey I didn't post the common law references you regressive did, and I sincerely hope the court rules exactly that way.

No, they haven't defined it. However being born in a country doesn't make you a natural born person from that country. Plenty of armed forces kids have been born off base in places like Germany, the UK etc etc, they wouldn't be considered citizens of that country, let alone natural born people from that country.

Like someone else said, if you didn't go through the naturalization program, then you're probably natural born.

So, imagine your American parents go abroad, you're born in a hospital in Germany, at the age of three weeks you then go back to America and never step foot on German soil for the rest of your life.

Are you German? Clearly not. So what are you? You're clearly American.

If there was no action at-law, by the time of the birth, to cause the woman to lose her citizenship, then no cause of action at-law exists, regarding the birth. Period.

Actually, a child born in circumstances like what you describe is generally considered to have dual citizenship, and at the age of 18, they then have to declare which country they are going to be citizens of.

Saw it happen a couple of times while I was in the Navy. Had to help type the paperwork.

I know plenty of kids who were born like this who never had duel citizenship at any time in their lives.

I've heard that this was true on another website. I don't know how accurate it is but his mother was canadian and he had, at one time, canadian as well as American citizenship. Is this true?

He did, but as soon as he was made aware of it, he processed the paperwork to renounce his Canadian citizenship. Like us, Canada extends citizenship to any child born in their borders, except those of foreign diplomats.

His mother was not Canadian, but she lived there when Ted was born, so he had dual citizenship, until he gave up his Canadian citizenship.

So he did have dual citizenship at one time in his life?

Most of his life, although he apparently wasn't aware of it. It seems that neither he nor his parents ever looked into the question before he started investigating the possibility of a Presidential campaign, and a Dallas newspaper researched the question.

 

[Cecilie1200]

Where was his passport from?

His passport is American, and always has been.
