[font size=5]Ted Cruz renounces Canadian citizenship in statement[/font]

(CNN) – Lest any questions remain about Sen. Ted Cruz's national allegiance, the Texas Republican announced Monday he was renouncing his Canadian citizenship.

Cruz was born in Canada to an American mother and a Cuban father, and over the weekend he released his birth certificate to put to rest any questions about his background. In an analysis, the Dallas Morning News speculated Cruz – considered a potential candidate for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination – was a dual citizen of the United States and Canada.

"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," Cruz wrote in his statement.

"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," he continued. "Nothing against Canada, but I'm an American by birth, and as a U.S. Senator, I believe I should be only an American." ....

1. Does this mean that's he's running for President?

[stevenleser]

4. Yes. No question about it now. nt

5. Allow me to soothe your qualms: He can run all he wants, he will NEVER win, but aside from that

his focus on this issue shows he's DELUSIONAL.

[calimary]

7. His focus on ANY issue shows he's DELUSIONAL!

What a vile excuse for a human being. I'm surprised that he and his ego can even fit inside the city limits of Washington DC.

2. You're welcome to him

[stevenleser]

3. Will be fun to see how the birthers, who are almost all RW teabag nutjobs, i.e. Cruz' natural base,

react.

6. Still a Cuban citizen n/t

9. Is there a Constitutional prohibition against dual-citizen Senators?

He could wait until he's President before renouncing.

10. When is Crudz going to renounce his Cuban citizenship?

Why would the RepubliBaggers want a Cubanist as president?

Is the sHocKing allegaTion true that Cruz has actually slept on Castro Convertible?
