Wait a minnit!1 "Ted"Carnival CRUZ was born in (our friend) CANADA - not even "birthright"!1

[UTUSN]

O.K., before all the legalistic lawyers jump here, get the Big Picture joke, please?!1

(Am Googling "Calgary" as we speak. )

1. How did he run for president? I have never understood this.

[Rhiannon12866]

2. His mother was a U.S. citizen, so he is

My cousin was born in Germany because her Dad was stationed there at the time with the U.S. Army, but she's a citizen because her parents are.

[UTUSN]

5. Yip, McCAIN was born in Panama of obviously U.S. parents/military but

the a-hole hypocrisy of the SHITLER-ites challenging the laws for others in other catetories of LAW is apalling!

[Rhiannon12866]

7. Exactly! That is the perfect example!

I was reminded of that when I was discussing this recently. But we have to remember that Trump has no knowledge of nor respect for the rule of law. He just expects to get whatever he wants whenever he wants it. He thinks that's how the presidency works.

[MiniMe]

9. That was because the dad was in the military and she was probably born on a military base

It isn't the same thing with Cruz. I'm not sure what would have happened if Carnival Cruz won the nomination, probably would have gone to the Supreme Court. Cruz's mom was living in Canada when he was born.

[UTUSN]

14. Uh, "the dad" parents McCAIN both U.S. citizens.Deceased McCAINwas born in Panama US Military base

(Or, am sure to be corrected, did we HAVE a U.S. military base in Panama?&quot Don't matter because his PARENTS were U.S. Citizens. It don't matter that his dad was in the military, all that matters is that the dad (and/or mom) were U.S. citizens.

And, no, it don't matter where Carnival CRUZ's mother was living because she was/is a U.S.C. Unless SHITLER wants to change all the rules!1

[UTUSN]

17. From Wiki, yes to "military base" but irrelevant. Both parents were U.S.citizens, &it just takes ONE

"John Sidney McCain III was born on August 29, 1936, at Coco Solo Naval Air Station in the Panama Canal Zone, to naval officer John S. McCain Jr. and Roberta (Wright) McCain. .... At that time, the Panama Canal was under U.S. control.[2]"

12. My understanding is that his mother was not a U.S. citizen at time of his birth.

Canadian law at time did not allow dual citizenship and both his parents voted in their elections. If correct, he does not have citizenship in any country because he renounced Canadian citizenship during campaign.

[UTUSN]

15. Uh, from Wiki, "Eleanor Wilson was born in Wilmington, Delaware" TOTAL U.S. citizen

He *did* have citizenship/dual. He renounced the Canadian part for expediency during the campaign.

[Rhiannon12866]

18. That's the way that I understand it, too.

[former9thward]

16. You understanding is not correct.

If he "does not have citizenship in any country" then how is he a U.S. Senator? The Constitution requires senators be U.S. citizens. He us a U.S. citizen thru his mother who was born in the U.S. It matters not what Canadian law is or was.

[UTUSN]

3. Well, he *is* a U.S. Citizen by mother's identity. But how come these dudes

question the law when it's about OTHER people's situations?!1

4. Hey, what have you got against Calgary ????

[UTUSN]

8. cf., "(our friend) CANADA" in the o.p.

Direct answer to direct question, what I got against Calgary is nurturing the birth of Carnival CRUZ.

However, my researching "Calgary" (thanks, Al GORE) will doubtlessly reveal wonders!1

[Haggis for Breakfast]

10. A beautiful city. Lovely, warm friendly people. Natural beauty that is awe-inspiring.

The Stampede. Elected the first Muslim mayor in Canada. So much diversity -- over 100 languages spoken there.

And don't forget The Flames !! I still have my autographed photo of Lanny MacDonald (aka The 'Stash).

[UTUSN]

11. Of course, proof posted here!1 It's (upper) Mid-West?!1 & what's with STETSONs worn here?!1

I wear Stetsons, too, but the LBJ Open Road!1
