how ted cruz got his citizenship
It's official. Sen. Ted Cruz is now a citizen of the United States -- and the United States only. If you remember, the Texas Republican was born in Canada to an American mother and a Cuban father. As such, he was a dual citizen -- an American because of his mother, and Canadian because the country, like America, grants automatic citizenship to anyone born there. No harm in that, except Cruz is considered a potential candidate for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination.
