Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said he is now t
aking steps to officially renounce his Canadian citizenship.In an interview with the Dallas Morning News published Saturday, the freshman senator said he hoped to complete the legal procedure in 2014.“I have retained counsel that is preparing the paperwork to renounce the citizenship," Cruz said.Cruz released his birth certificate to the Morning News in August in an effort to curb speculation that he is not a natural born citizen (and therefore ineligible to run for president in the U.S.).However, the newspaper pointed out that the circumstances of Cruz's birth -- he was born in Calgary, Alberta to an American mother -- meant he likely retained citizenship in both the U.S. and Canada."Now the Dallas Morning News says that I may technically have dual citizenship," Cruz said in a statement. "Assuming that is true, then sure, I will renounce any Canadian citizenship. Nothing against Canada, but I'm an American by birth and as a U.S. senator; I believe I should be only an American."
this guy has worked his self into frenetic detached from reality right wing loon, this is a play to the base, but he's saying he wasn't 100% American all the time he has been driving them and the party into a different ditch, but now he'll do the same thing but without his Canuck credentials what a phony.
think he's addicted to green eggs and ham was the ham green too, that would explain it all.
Cruz, who was first elected to the Senate last fall, has stoked speculation that he will run for president in 2016 by making appearances in early primary states and courting major GOP donors at fundraisers.However, in the Morning News interview, Cruz denied that his decision to renounce his citizenship had any implications for his political future.
