When was he naturalized?
Cruz did not need to be naturalized, because he is a natural born citizen via his mothers citizenship. Had she renounced her citizenship, prior to his birth, for that of another country- then he'd be ineligible.
Don't mistake natural born for naturalized. Cruz never needed to be naturalized (granted citizenship) as he had it by nature of his mothers citizenship.
It doesn't matter if Canada denies the right to dual citizenship. He's not running for PM of Canada. What matters is if the U.S. recognizes it and it does.
There's nothing "marginal" about his mothers citizenship and the rights conveyed to her by it. Again, many Americans traveled abroad even then. You mistake the term natural born with naturalized. Ted Cruz never needed to be naturalized to gain citizenship, as he was natural born by virtue of his mothers citizenship.Cruz did not need to be naturalized, because he is a natural born citizen via his mothers citizenship.

You think the framers intended that a person running for President could be born anywhere, to at least ONE marginal American parent and that met all requirements to run for President?
Wonder why the just didnt write it that way in the COtUS and why all those Naturalization acts in the late 1700s?
Natural born, Born in the USA.
If there's ambiguity in the law, that favors the person who did not write it.You think the framers intended that a person running for President could be born anywhere, to at least ONE marginal American parent and that met all requirements to run for President?

If Ted's mom had a Canadian voting license, then a real problem does exist.
No two ways about it.
That was not a voter list, and she never applied for, nor was granted, Canadian citizenship.If Ted's mom had a Canadian voting license, then a real problem does exist.

Depends on when she became a Canadian citizen.
She seems to appear on the 1974 Canadian Voter List, but no record before that, that I've seen.
And Ted was born in 1970
