Cruz may not be legally a Senator, much less a Pres. candidate.

[Nay]

23. Nope.

The US recognized dual citizenship in 1967, so Cruz's dual citizenship is A-OK. Doesn't matter what Canada law is.

His mother was found to be registered to vote in Canada as of 1974. This may have been a clerical error on the part of Canada; whether she is/was a Canadian citizen is unknown, but she seems to have retained her US citizenship, so Ted is a US citizen, too, unfortunately.

The easiest way for Ted to confirm his US citizenship is to produce the FS-240, Report of Birth Abroad. No one seems to have this document, but it can be applied for and granted retroactively if needed. I have no idea why this was not done.

Ted has a US passport, issued when he was 14 yrs old. All Ted has to do to shut everyone up is produce the document(s) used to obtain his passport. Why he has not done so IS a mystery, but as of now, it does look like he is legally considered a natural born citizen.

It doesn't matter that Ted renounced his Canadian citizenship; it has nothing to do with his US citizenship, with ONE EXCEPTION: neither Canada nor the US will grant a renunciation of a citizenship if the person will thus be rendered stateless. So, Canada considers him a US citizen.

There are some weird things going on with Ted's citizenships, but they do not involve what you have outlined.
