U.S. Presidents & The Natural-born-citizen Clause

[Tiberius]

Did she actually relinquish her US Citizenship though? As far as I'm aware, there's a few steps you have to go through in order to do that. If she didn't do it, then whilst the Canadian government would have considered her only Canadian, the US government would have considered her a dual citizen. Dual citizenships are difficult in that respect; some countries respect them and others don't, and the rules only apply where you currently are. The Canadian government can't take away someone's US citizenship just because they don't recognise it, even if that person signed a statement to the Canadian government that they were giving up their US citizenship. As far as I'm aware, the US government is the only government that can accept such a statement.

It depends on how rigorous the Canadian checks were. Was she required to present a signed declaration that the US government no longer recognised her citizenship?

I agree that if she actually relinquished her US citizenship, Ted Cruz would undoubtably be a Canadian citizen with no actual right to be an American citizen, let alone be eligible for the Presidency. If it's true, then his entire political career has been illegal. Which is why I highly doubt it is true.
