Ted Cruz Renounces His Canadian Citizenship

Ted Cruz wasn’t born in America, but since his native country is Canada, and not Kenya, he won’t face the kind of vitriol American -born Barack Obama has. Now, the Texas senator has formally given up his Canadian citizenship.

Spokeswoman Catherine Frazier said Cruz’s action became official May 14 and that Texas’ junior senator received written confirmation at his home in Houston on Tuesday. She said the tea-party-backed Republican “is pleased to have the process finalized.”

“Being a U.S. Senator representing Texas, it makes sense he should be only an American citizen,” Frazier said in an email.

Cruz, 43, was born in Calgary, Alberta, in 1970, while his parents were working in the oil business there. His mother, Eleanor, is from Delaware, while his father, Rafael, is a Cuban became a U.S. citizen in 2005.

Another famous politician had an American-born mother and a father of foreign birth, Maybe producing a third birth certificate will convince all Americans that he is one, too.
