Cruz Birth Certificate

[Nay]

32. He was 14 when he got his passport. I doubt very seriously that his parents could simply

claim he was a US citizen and he would be issued a passport; if it were that easy everybody would be doing it. First, they at least had to prove he was their kid, right? So, the Canadian birth certificate is theoretically the only way they could do that, since Cruz and his parents have never been able to produce any paper of any kind from the US govt that acknowledges his birth at all. But a Canadian birth cert isn't going to get you a US passport, I can promise you that.

What I suspect happened is that his parents at some period got him the paper "Birth of a US Citizen Abroad" and used that to get him the passport, and then promptly lost that paper. What is mystifying is how the toddler Cruz got into kindergarten without a US birth certificate, how he registered at school and with doctors without one. Maybe he used his Canadian BC to register, but then how can he claim he had no idea he was Canadian if he and his parents have been using the CA BC all along? And if they had the "Birth of a US Citizen Abroad" paper all along, why can't they produce it? If it has been lost, it is an easy thing to get a replacement -- takes only a simple request. Why go through all the craziness of renouncing your Canadian citizenship when all you had to do was ask the State Dept to reissue your "Birth of a US Citizen Abroad" paper? He's a Senator, fer chrissake, all he had to do to clear it all up in 10 minutes was have his office formally request a copy from the State Dept and he'd be done. It's been 2 years and the only thing he has produced is the official Canadian letter that says his Canadian citizenship has been cancelled! Who cares???? Nobody really cares if he's a Canadian, we just want an original document that says he's a natural-born US citizen too!!! A passport doesn't do that.

He's been going around in circles, doing everything BUT take steps to produce that document. That's simply weird. Why is he doing this? This is the real question. He's just stirring the waters, trying to deflect, and no one knows why. Frankly, I'm surprised the State Dept hasn't called him up and said, "Hey, crackhead, just ask for a copy of your BUSCA, or apply for one as an adult, and we'll send you one!"

That's what is so crazy. It's easy to clear this up. Why can't he seem to?

Do we dare suspect the the GOP didn't vet him properly before they invited him to run for Senator?

What on earth could really be going on here? Is it just that Cruz is really stupid or schizo? Even then, you'd think some tea party lawyer or admin in his office would fix this for him in no time. There is no discernible reason for this to be so hard, even for Cruz.
