Cruz's father had Canadian citizenship. His father and mother went to Canada at the same time. The other day when Jake Tapper or someone was interviewing him on the subject, Cruz said his mother couldn't have had Canadian citizenship because of the "residency requirement". Well, they would have both had the same residency. So was Cruz born to a father who was still a Cuban citizen?
See, this is why only natural born citizens are eligible to run for the office of President and Vice President so that our determination of citizenship eligibility for the office does not depend upon the records or citizenship laws of other countries. We're a sovereign nation and in order for our Constitution to rule properly, it must be based upon those matters domestic that we control and know about. We can't have a Presidential election dependent upon what someone in Canada did while they were registering Canadian citizens to vote. We can't have a Presidential election dependent upon when someone left Cuba or when they moved to Canada or how long they stayed or whether they denounced US citizenship. It's beyond absurd.
The rule is simple:
1. born in the USA
2. born to 2 US citizens
Period.
Based on what we know, the children of Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio can run for President and Vice President, but their fathers can not. Cruz and Rubio already have nice jobs with a lot of power, perhaps too much, but at least they're eligible for the spots they hold. They are neither one eligible for the Big Promotion in more ways than one, but the one stops their trains now and that's what needs to be done. Their trains need to be stopped.
Thank you Trump for applying the brakes.
