Ted Cruz's Canadian Problem - Eligibility A Real Question And Concern

The Establishment knows that Ted Cruz's eligibility is in question.  They also know he is the only one that can stop Donald Trump at this point.  Is the Establishment using Ted Cruz to take the nomination, only then to state he is not qualified and head into a contested convention?

Via Family Security Matters:
Exactly how and when did Ted Cruz obtain U.S. citizenship?
The fact that it is still an open question at this stage of the Presidential campaign is a testament either to the galactic ignorance of our political-media elite or their willingness to place political expediency ahead of the Constitution and the law.

 Exactly how and when did Ted Cruz obtain U.S. citizenship?
 

The fact that it is still an open question at this stage of the Presidential campaign is a testament either to the galactic ignorance of our political-media elite or their willingness to place political expediency ahead of the Constitution and the law.

 There is no third alternative.

 Rafael Edward “Ted” Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada on December 22, 1970 and remained a Canadian citizen until he officially renounced it on May 14, 2014, eighteen months after taking the oath of office as a U.S. Senator. At the time of his birth, Cruz’s father was a citizen of Canada and his mother was a U.S. citizen.

Legally, Cruz could have obtained US citizenship through his mother consistent with Public Law 414, June 27, 1952, An Act: To revise the laws relating to immigration, naturalization, and nationality and for other purposes [H.R. 5678], Title III Nationality and Naturalization, Chapter 1 – Nationality at Birth and by Collective naturalization; Nationals and citizens of the United States at birth; the relevant section being 301 (a) (7):
“a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than ten years, at least five of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years: Provided That any periods of honorable service in the Armed Forces of the United States by such citizen parent may be included in computing the physical presence requirements of this paragraph.”
In that case, Cruz’s mother should have filed a Consular Report of Birth Abroad of a Citizen of the United States of America (CRBA) with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate after the birth to document that the child was a U.S. citizen.

  According to Cruz spokeswoman Catherine Frazier, Cruz’s mother did register his birth with the U.S. consulate and Cruz received a U.S. passport in 1986 ahead of a high school trip to England.

There are two apparent contradictions regarding how and when Ted Cruz obtained US citizenship.

 First, according to the Canadian Citizenship Act of 1946, also referred to as the “Act of 1947,”Canada did not allow dual citizenship in 1970. The parents would have had to choose at that time between U.S. and Canadian citizenship. Ted Cruz did not renounce his Canadian citizenship until 2014. Was that the choice originally made?
Second, no CRBA has been released that would verify that Ted Cruz was registered as a U.S. citizen at birth.
 

It has been reported that the then nearly four-year-old Ted Cruz flew to the U.S. from Calgary, Alberta, Canada in 1974.
 

Ted Cruz could not have entered the U.S. legally without a CRBA or a U.S. passport, the latter of which was not obtained until 1986.

 If Ted Cruz was registered as a U.S. citizen at birth, as his spokeswoman claims, then the CRBA must be released. Otherwise, one could conclude that Cruz came to the U.S. as a Canadian citizen, perhaps on a tourist visa or, possibly, remained in the U.S. as an illegal immigrant.
 

It is the responsibility of the candidate for the Presidency, not citizens, to prove that he or she is eligible for the highest office in the land. 

Is Marco Rubio A Natural Born Citizen Eligible For President

While all the focus has been on whether or not Senator Ted Cruz is eligible to be president,

overlooked has been Marco Rubio who was born under similiar circumstances to Ted Cruz.

According to several reports, Senator Marco Rubio’s father was not a naturalized citizen when Marco was born in May 1971 per National Archives data. His father applied for naturalization in Sep 1975. Marco Rubio not constitutionally eligible to run for President or VP.

In the reports an investigator tried to learn more about Senator Marco Rubio’s exact birth citizenship status and a phone call was made to the National Archives (NARA) to learn the facts.

According to the information conveyed to the investigator during the phone calls to NARA about Senator Marco Rubio of FL, his father did not petition to become a naturalized citizen of the United States until Sep 1975, a full four years after Marco Rubio was born. 

Just like Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio had dual citizenship  American and Cuban.

If dual citizenship makes Ted Cruz ineligible wouldn't that also make Marco Rubio the same?

Foreign Born John McCain Questions Ted Cruz Eligibility

Ted Cruz / John McCain

Arizona Senator John McCain who ran for President in 2008 is now questioning whether Ted Cruz is eligible to run for president based on his origin of birth.  Ted Cruz was born in Canada to an American Citizen, his mother.

John McCain himself was not born in the United States either.  He was born in Panama, yet this did not stop him from running for President.

In addition, there was an issue as to President Obama's origin of birth during the 2008 election.  In various publications, it is noted that Obama was born in Kenya to a foreign-born father and American Mother.  

Yet John McCain never went on to question Obama's eligibility. 

A real birth certificate has yet to be released but it has been accepted that Obama was born in Hawaii.

The Constitutional purists that John McCain is now aligning himself with, only for personal gain as the establishment fears Ted Cruz more than Donald Trump, say that one must be born on American soil to parents that Americans. 

Can you say hypocrisy?
