Natural Born Citizen: Texas Senator Ted Cruz

Texas Senator Ted Cruz: Alas, Cruz says he plans to renounce his Canadian citizenship , so his northern neighbours may have to settle for all those references to "a Canadian-born contender," should the time come, according to CBC. To be president, the U.S. Constitution stipulates one must be "a natural born citizen," but that designation applies to someone born outside the U.S. if he or she has at least one American parent, according to U.S. law and While some Americans have expressed concern that Texas Senator Ted Cruz, a potential presidential candidate, is a citizen of both Canada and the U.S., Canadians are probably more sanguine about the prospect of a fellow countryman living in the White House. That the Texas senator is considering seeking the Republican nomination in 2016 is an open secret in Washington. And while he was born in Calgary in 1970, that does not make him ineligible for the White House job. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
