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

100. You've got some facts wrong. First, she wasn't a citizen at his birth.

Cruz was born in 70. His mother had a child who died in 66 in England (she had traveled there to live and work with her first husband).

There seems to be NO WAY his mother could have been a Canadian citizen at his birth, because how could she have fulfilled the residency requirements? She was an American citizen, thus giving him American citizenship at birth.

The fact that Canada would recognize him as a citizen also has nothing to do with it, legally. Plenty of people are eligible for dual citizenship.

The consular report of birth makes it easier, but it does not confer or deny citizenship on the child of American citizens who is born abroad. I know this for a fact because of a family member who was born in France. Her parents were poor at the time, and couldn't afford the consular fee. It never raised a question as to her citizenship! It's enough to have a birth record showing that that you were born to an American citizen.

I don't know where you are getting your information, but it is wrong.
