....Ted Cruz was an asshole.

Cruz filled out a form and renounced any claim to Canadian citizenship,
and released a written public statement.

"Given the raft of stories today about my birth certificate, it
must be a slow news day. The facts of my birth are straightforward: I
was born in 1970 in Calgary, Canada. Because my mother was a U.S.
citizen, born in Delaware, I was a U.S. citizen by birth. When I was a
kid, my Mom told me that I could choose to claim Canadian citizenship if
I wanted. I got my U.S. passport in high school.

"Because I was a U.S. citizen at birth, because I left Calgary when
I was 4 and have lived my entire life since then in the U.S., and
because I have never taken affirmative steps to claim Canadian
citizenship, I assumed that was the end of the matter.

"Now the Dallas Morning News says that I may technically have dual
citizenship. 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."

Ted Cruz, the Harvard Law School grad and Supreme Court attorney, didn't
realize he had dual citizenship until two days ago? Because his Mom told
him not to worry about it?
