Also I am not a knight so or my name would be have the title Sir added to the front like Sir Charles Branson or Sir Paul McCartney those people would have knighted blood which must be a very rare blood type.

also if my Canadian blood stop coursing through my veins then well go out a limb here my heart stropped and that is not good thing since I would need to get Canadian CPR and do not let me have no circulation for too long if you can help it.

Maybe get a oxygen tank going and even a shock to jump star the heart or I then become deceased Canadian and I would appreciate it since it would ruin my 30 year old consecutive year streak of staying alive.

I'm no fan of Ted Cruz...frankly I think the guy is an embarrassment to the state of Texas.

However, based on what I have read so far, it appears to me that he was born an American citizen and is therefore eligible for the Presidency. I just hope he loses, and loses BIG, if he decides to run.

Same here. I can't take more "tea party" candidates anymore. He is definitely gonna be a loser. I also do not like the idea of voting for a president that was born in a country with a monarch

He didn't choose his birthplace.

I thought this was a real question at first trying to answer Canadian born but became a full American citizen can he become a Duo citizen to come back to Canada if he wanted and went through the process to be able to so.

But have to admit the OP tricked this Canuck since it sounded like a legit question till the subject of the Queen and all the other non sense then you guys always make things into some about your president or is it the Democrats fault or the conservatives fault and to us we do not have the political divide and as long as our PM keeps doing his job till his term is up and we have a federal election.

But we will decide if he did a good job or a was terrible and show it by what party and what type of Government we vote in be it another majority or a minority either way our PM and the party that has a minority or majority Government has to try to make us happy and no one party has even been safe since they have to work and solve issues or being that we have Westminster style parliament and a governor General who Represent the Queen since being subject to her and all if things are not being done and the Government does not meet the timeline to pass a budget or act on major issues and is not functioning we prorogue and dissolve praliment and have an election.



It is, according to the constitution of Canada, the Canadian monarch's royal prerogative to prorogue the legislatures, though this is usually done for the federal parliament by the sovereign's federal representative, the Governor General of Canada, and always for the provincial parliaments by the monarch's provincial representatives, the lieutenant governors.

Like all such actions of the sovereign and governors, this is almost exclusively done on the advice of the relevant prime minister who holds the confidence of the elected chamber of parliament.

A parliamentary session lasts until a prorogation, after which, without ceremony, the one or both chambers of the legislature cease all legislative business until the governor general or lieutenant governor issues a proclamation calling for a new session to begin. For the federal parliament, except for the election of a speaker for the House of Commons and his or her claiming of that house's privileges, the same procedures for the opening of parliament are again followed.

Prorogation is a necessary action, including in "situations where governments need to stop and refocus." At the same time, arbitrary use of the power of prorogation can "[unbalance] the very fragile balance of power that exists between the different parts of government." What is paramount is that the legislature be recalled so the opposition can hold the cabinet to account for its actions,a task central to the functioning of responsible government.

  • Any one born outside the United States, both of whose parents are citizens of the U.S., as long as one parent has lived in the U.S.
  • Any one born outside the United States, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year and the other parent is a U.S. national
  • Any one born in a U.S. possession, if one parent is a citizen and lived in the U.S. for at least one year
  • Any one found in the U.S. under the age of five, whose parentage cannot be determined, as long as proof of non-citizenship is not provided by age 21

You posted a website describing citizenship. The Constitutional requirement for POTUS is "natural born citizen," not just "citizen."

Exactly so!

Some say that the word "natural" has no meaning, because the courts have evolved the meaning to redundant non-existence.
Exactly. A LOT of people have been fooled by dumbed-down revisionist rhetoric.

The "tell" that something more is required than merely being BORN a citizen is the qualifier of "natural" in the actual Constitutional requirement. If what the dumbed-down proclaim to be true were actually true, the requirement would merely have been "born citizen." However, as we all know, that's NOT what the Constitution says. The requirement is "natural born citizen."
