Re: Did you know Ted Cruz is a Canadian
When I first saw this subject, I thought it said, "Did you know Ted Cruz is a Comedian." And I like Ted Cruz and, for the most part, what he's doing in the Senate (which is exactly what he was elected to do). However, I think his Canadian birth disqualifies him from being President.

Re: Did you know Ted Cruz is a Canadian
Actually Cruz probably still is a Canadian citizen he said in mid Aug he plans to renounce his citizenship however it isn't as easy as saying I am no longer a Canadian
the steps are
Canadian citizens can give up their citizenship as long as they meet the following criteria: they are, or will become, citizens of another country if their application to renounce is approved; they are at least 18 years old; they don't live in Canada; and they are not considered "a threat to Canada’s security or part of a pattern of criminal activity," according to Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC).
The CIC rules add that you also must "understand the significance" of what you're doing.
Ted Cruz appears to meet those requirements. Here's how he would go about it:
■Fill out and send the "Application to Renounce Canadian Citizenship."
■Pay a $100 application fee.
■Wait. If it's a routine application and he doesn't forget to include any required document, it should take about four months. He can even check the status of his application on the CIC website.
■CIC may advise Cruz he "may have to be interviewed by a citizenship judge." Since he has a residence in Washington, a Canadian embassy official would contact him with information about how the interview will be conducted.
If Cruz's application is approved, CIC will send him a certificate of renunciation.
Since he has not been waving around a renunciation certificate and it hasn't been 4 months notwithstanding that little "threat to Canadian security" clause if he applied in August he should have the certificate around Christmas
