Ted Cruz is NOT a Legal
U.S. Citizen at All

The debate
over whether or not Senator Ted Cruz is eligible for
the U.S. Presidency is about to end. It has now been
confirmed that Senator Ted Cruz is neither a “U.S.
natural born Citizen” or a “legal U.S. citizen.”
According
to all relative legal citizenship documentation
available at present, Senator Ted Cruz was born
Rafael Edward Cruz, a legal citizen of Canada on
December 22, 1970 and maintained his legal Canadian
citizenship from birth until May 14, 2014, 43 years
later.
The Cruz
Campaign for the U.S. Presidency has claimed that
Senator Ted Cruz was a “citizen at birth” via his
U.S. mother and a “dual citizen” of both Canada and
the United States in 1970 and that by renouncing his
Canadian citizenship in 2014, he would become
eligible for the Oval Office.
There are
several problems with this claim… which make the
claim false
1.
“citizen at birth” is a
14th
Amendment naturalization
term based upon “All persons born or naturalized in
the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction
thereof, are citizens of the United States and of
the state wherein they reside.”
Senator
Cruz was born in Canada, subject to the jurisdiction
of Canada. Further, any U.S. citizen by virtue of
the 14th Amendment only, is a “citizen”
and not a “natural born Citizen,” as you will see
below. (Source
is Cornell Law on the 14th)
2.
“dual citizenship” was prohibited in Canada in
December 1970. (Source
is Canadian Law)
From May
22, 1868 until December 31, 1946, all residents of
Canada were British subjects. There was no such
thing as a Canadian citizen or Canadian citizenship
until January 1, 1947.
From
January 1, 1947 until February 15, 1977, Canadian
law prohibited “dual citizenship.” Foreign parents
giving birth to a child in Canada in 1970 were
forced to choose between Canadian citizenship only,
or citizenship in another country, and to declare
that with Canadian officials at the time of birth.
The parents of Ted Cruz chose and declared “Canadian
citizenship” for Rafael Edward Cruz.

United States laws make it possible to be a legal
U.S. citizen by only the following means…
a)
NATURAL BORN CITIZEN – “As the society cannot exist
and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children
of the citizens, those children naturally follow the
condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their
rights. The country of the fathers is therefore that
of the children; and these become true citizens
merely by their tacit consent.” (The
Natural Law
as understood by the Founders in Article II of the
US Constitution)
b)
NATIVE BORN CITIZEN - All persons born or
naturalized in the United States, and subject to the
jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United
States and of the state wherein they reside. (The
14th Amendment definition for “citizen”)
c)
NATURALIZED CITIZEN - the legal act or process by
which a non-citizen in a country may acquire
citizenship or nationality of that country. It may
be done by a statute, without any effort on the part
of the individual (aka anchor baby), or it may
involve an application and approval by legal
authorities, (such as a Consular Report of Birth
Abroad (CRBA) form filed with the US State
Department at the time of birth). (This includes
“anchor baby” or “citizen at birth” born here or
abroad, under the 14th)

“dual citizens” are prohibited from being “natural
born Citizens” as it pertains to Article II
requirements for the Oval Office.
As the
stated purpose of the Article II “natural born
Citizen” requirement for the Oval Office is to
prevent anyone with foreign allegiance at birth from
ever occupying the Oval Office, and all “dual
citizens” at birth are born with “dual national
allegiance” at birth. The mere condition of “dual
citizen at birth” would be a direct violation of the
known purpose and intent of the natural born Citizen
requirement in Article II. Source is a
letter
from Founder John Jay in proposing the NBC
requirement for the Oval Office.
Now,
Senator Ted Cruz has repeatedly stated that he has
never “naturalized” to the United States, which
eliminated the possibility that Ted Cruz is a
“naturalized” U.S. Citizen.
Senator
Ted Cruz has also documented the fact that he was
not a “native born citizen” of the United States,
but rather a “native born citizen” of Canada on
December 22, 1970, who maintained his legal Canadian
citizenship until May 14, 2014.
The
Harvard
opinion letter
written by two of Senator Cruz’s Harvard friends,
Neal Katyal & Paul Clement, a mere “commentary” on
the subject, relies upon the 14th
Amendment naturalized citizen at birth concept,
despite the fact that Ted Cruz was not “born in or
under the jurisdiction of the United States,” was
never “naturalized” to the United States, and
completely ignoring the fact that Canada prohibited
“dual citizenship” in 1970, as well as the fact that
“dual citizenship” alone would prevent him from
“natural born U.S.” status.
All of
this explains why Senator Ted Cruz has no legal U.S.
citizenship documentation of any kind. He is not a
“natural born” – “native born” or “naturalized”
citizen of the United States. Because someone must
be one of the three in order to be a legal citizen
of the United States, Senator Ted Cruz cannot
possibly be a “legal U.S. citizen” of any form.
Only days
ago, a 17-year-old first time voter at a New
Hampshire town hall meeting for Senator Ted Cruz
asked a very reasonable question…
“How and
why, until recently, were you unaware that you were
a Canadian citizen?”
As the
young man explained, this is not an eligibility
question, but a credibility question… which Senator
Cruz refused to answer, preferring instead to
regurgitate the talking points carefully crafted by
his Harvard friends and eventually, shouting the
young man down, after a Cruz fan in the audience
shouted “better a Canadian than a Kenyan!” (VIDEO)
Meanwhile, a growing number of Constitutional Law
Professors agree, “Cruz
is NOT eligible.”
Of course,
Senator Marco Rubio is also “ineligible,”
as a “native born citizen at birth” by virtue of 14th
Amendment “anchor baby” policies only.
In the
end, the only possible way to consider Senator Ted
Cruz eligible for the Oval Office is if every
“undocumented resident alien” is eligible for the
Oval Office, which I personally believe is the real
agenda of both political parties, as they work to
meld the USA into the global commune where there is
no legal difference between “natural born Americans”
and “undocumented aliens.”
The fact
that so many Americans do not know or care to know
the truth about the Constitutional “natural born
Citizen” requirement for the Oval Office,
demonstrates just how far down the road of “hope and
change” for the destruction of the Constitutional
Republic, the enemy within has already achieved.
Soon, “natural born Americans” will be in the American minority… and they will be ruled by foreigners who have no legal U.S. citizenship at all.
