According to Article 1, Section 3 of the United States Constitution, the requirements to become a United States Senator include that the candidate must:
- be at least 30 years old.
- a United States citizen for at least nine years at the time of their election to the Senate.
- a resident and inhabitant of the state they are being elected to represent in the Senate.
According to an “authenticated timeline of known facts concerning the citizenship of Senator Ted Cruz” both of his parents were Canadian citizens at the time of his birth. The timeline reveals:
- In 1957 Rafael Cruz, Ted’s father, attended the University of Texas as a foreign student on a four-year student visa, obtained at the US Consulate in Havana.
- In 1962 when Rafael graduated and his student visa expired he obtained political asylum and was issued a green card, but remained a Cuban citizen.
- In 1969 Rafael Cruz married Eleanor Darragh Wilson. According to my research Eleanor claims to have been born in Delaware, but so far I’ve not been able to track down a birth certificate for Eleanor.
- On December 22, 1970 Ted was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada to Rafael and Eleanor Cruz, both Canadian Citizens, which voided his prior American green card status.
- In 1974 the Cruz family moves to the United States.
- In 2005 Rafael Cruz renounces his Canadian Citizenship and becomes a United States Citizen.
- In August 2013 Ted releases his Canadian birth certificate.
He’s a Canadian,” said Toronto lawyer Stephen Green, past chairman of the Canadian Bar Association’s Citizenship and Immigration Section.
“Generally speaking, under the Citizenship Act of 1947, those born in Canada were automatically citizens at birth unless their parent was a foreign diplomat,” said ministry spokeswoman Julie Lafortune.
While Ted’s birth certificate shows that his mother was born in Delaware, there is no proof that is the case. Additionally, if she were born in Delaware and was originally a United States citizen, did she retain that citizenship in Canada?
In May 14, 2014, Ted Cruz received formal notification that the renunciation of his Canadian citizenship was official. But where is Eleanor’s birth certificate? I can say I was born in Delaware, but that doesn’t make it true.
If Ted Cruz’s mother was in fact born in Delaware, did she have dual citizenship when Ted was born in Canada?
Should Ted Cruz be stripped of his Senate seat? If so, he surely isn’t eligible to be in the White House.
Make no mistake, the communists
of the “democratic” party and the
cuckservatives want this to go away.
If this shit gains traction and begins
to significantly stick the entire house
of cards supporting the lie that
the rule of law (Constitutional) governs
our Republic will come crashing down,
with one hell of an apocalyptic firestorm
consuming the remains.
Lest anyone forget, the Constitutional
disqualification that applies to Cruz also
applies to bathhouse barry’s father.
I dont’ get it. They want to bring up the issue of a man running for Senate about being a US Citizen and yet they don’t want to chase the issue of our sorry ass President not being US born.
He is also ineligible per the 13th amendment to the Constitution (original) as he is an attorney
OBAMA GETS A FREE RIDE SINCE HE IS A DEM. but republican can’T WHAT A JOKE
Good point, but does anyone in Washington DC really care about what us peeons say or think?
“Should Ted Cruz be stripped of his Senate seat?”
No need to.
Hanging him for treason (or sedition) will eliminate the necessity for that.
Goes for the rest of his ‘comrades’ as well.
He should be stripped, there are many uses with a stapler.
I didn’t see this til after my comment below
It feels good to be in such great company
He needs to prove he’s even a man first.
He can start with the new sexual orientation questionnaire police law in Missouri.
Then we can move on to the citizenship issue.
Guarantee no nads show up.
in fact I think I’m going to write a new executive post it order on that today.
What about the Kenyan monkey occupying our Oval Office? How about trying that foreign, Commie bastard for high treason as well.
While I find the idea of his mother “proving” her nationality of birth and all that jazz humorous,,,
I just can’t get past the fact that people are adding to the conversation about who will be the president of the bankrupt, illegitimate, criminal cartel in occupation.
blue [GD] wiper syndrome!
Ted Cruz Should Prove His Mother Was A U.S. Citizen When He Was Born
OBUMMER should prove his citizenship.
Which is truly more important, and more overlooked by media?
Ted Cruz
Should swing with all of his kind
Helloooooooo,
The Constitution does not say “Mother”; it says “PARENTS”. I realize that under Barry’s rule parents can now be one person, just look at Caitlin. (Ugh that put a dirty taste in my mouth.) However, I don’t think the Founding Fathers could ever have imagined we could be this far gone. Stop perpetuating the commie “Mother” myth and keep repeating “PARENTS”.
