Political Factoid

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) was
born in Canada and legally
had Canadian citizenship*
... which he eventually
said, under political
pressure, that he
would renounce.
* Albeit Cruz's mother was
a U.S. citizen, so the U.S.
Constitution also granted
him citizenship.
 
Cruz's father was a Citizen of
Cuba, so he was also entitled
to Cuban citizenship.
