Under Pressure: Ted Cruz Says He's Seriously Not Canadian Anymore; Cites Inoperable Law As Proof
Birther Report

Excerpt:
Canadian-born U.S. Senator Ted Cruz was confronted by Fusion TV's Jorge Ramos over his Article II presidential ineligibility. Ramos asked if the U.S. Supreme Court should decide whether he's a U.S. citizen.
Cruz doubled down that he's a natural born Citizen under the Nationality Act of 1790 ignoring the fact that the Act is no longer operable and the Act had the natural born Citizen wording removed several years later.
Cruz cited several examples that hurt his flawed argument. All candidates he cited were born to two citizen parents.
Cruz's father did not become a U.S. citizen until 2005!

Fusion reports:
Republican presidential contender Ted Cruz grew up in Texas, but he was also a Canadian citizen until 2013. The Texas senator’s mother, who was born in Delaware, and his father, who was born in Cuba and became a U.S. citizen in 2005, were working in Calgary when baby Ted came on the scene. As a result, Cruz had dual citizenship. But he renounced it in 2013 after the issue was raised— mostly as a matter of optics—in the context of a potential presidential bid.
Now that Cruz has officially announced, the question is bubbling up again. Cruz is an American citizen, but is he a natural-born citizen eligible for the presidency as outlined by the Constitution?
Under the law, the answer is an unequivocal “yes.” Cruz’s mother is American, so from from British common law to the Naturalization Act of 1790 and onward, he meets the criteria. But Cruz’s own views on the Constitution—he leans literal—have invited some heightened scrutiny, since the term “natural-born” isn’t explicitly defined.
In conversation with Cruz on Tuesday, Fusion’s Jorge Ramos asked him to weigh in. [...] Fusion.
