Actually, he does not have Canadian citizenship.

3. You're sort of right

in a typically idiotic Cruz camp panic attack moment he decided to renounce his Canadian citizenship triggering massive parties with unlimited keg stands and fireworks throughout Canada.

It will probably take him a week or so to process the idea that it will take about eight months for his application to be processed.

Until that form is processed he his still a member of the ice-head hockey and beer team no matter how much he tries to deny it. This will probably lead Canadians to several booze induced keg stands without fireworks.

4. Yeah? Then what is it that he's renouncing?

Cruz will renounce Canadian citizenship

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) announced Monday evening that he will renounce his Canadian citizenship, less than 24 hours after a newspaper pointed out that the Canadian-born senator likely maintains dual citizenship.

“Now the Dallas Morning News says that I may technically have dual citizenship,” Cruz said in a statement. “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.”

The Dallas Morning News wrote in a story posted late Sunday night that Cruz likely remains a Canadian citizen, by virtue of being born there to an American mother. Having never renounced that citizenship, Cruz was technically a Canadian and an American citizen, according to legal experts.

Cruz said his mother told him that he could claim his citizenship if he ever wanted to, but that he never pursued it and thought the matter was settled.

Legal experts say that Cruz is a Canadian citizen regardless of whether he asked for it or not.
