Ted Cruz Didn’t Report Goldman Sachs Loan in a Senate Race
Kenneth A. Gross, a former election commission lawyer who specializes in campaign finance law, said that listing a bank loan in an annual Senate ethics report —
which deals only with personal finances — would not satisfy the requirement that it be promptly disclosed to election officials during a campaign.
“The law says if you get a loan for the purpose of funding a campaign, you have to show the original source of the loan, the terms of the loan and
you even have to provide a copy of the loan document to the Federal Election Commission."
The money from the Cruzes allowed his campaign to keep running television ads in the period preceding the primary election, including a $300,000 ad buy
that highlighted the story of Mr. Cruz’s father’s flight from Cuba in the 1950s after opposing the Batista regime.
Mr. Cruz earned enough votes in the primary to qualify for a runoff, where he defeated Mr. Dewhurst and went on to win the general election.

Of course, Rafael "Ted" Cruz Jr. didn't report to the citizens of Texas or the US Senate that he was a Canadian citizen either . . .
I believe only one other foreignborn US Senator has been kicked out of the legislature (in 1794) as not being fully naturalized for at least 9 years
before a state elected him to the US Senate.
So there is precedent for a 2017 Ted Cruz' Senate impeachment on at least two counts . . . any honest Senators around to co-sponsor the resolution ?
