Once again the question as to whether Ted Cruz has a constitutional right to run for President of the United States is in the news. Donald Trump, who strongly pursued the argument that Obama was not an American citizen and therefore could not be President, is now stating a similar argument about Cruz.
On Twitter yesterday, Trump tweeted, “If Ted Cruz doesn’t clean up his act, stop cheating and doing negative ads, (I’ll) sue him for not being a natural born citizen.” He also tweeted, “Do Americans really want a Canadian born president? First non-native born in history?”, as well as “…natural born means born on American soil.”
Trump may not have to file suit as one has already been filed by five Cullman County, Alabama voters who are seeking a judgement stating that Ted Cruz is not eligible to run for President of the United States. They believe there is enough evidence that Cruz is a Canadian citizen and therefore not an American citizen.
Do they have a valid case? Read more on page two about the lawsuit against Ted Cruz.
A waste of time!
At the time of his birth in 1970 there was no such thing as dual citizenship from any country to the USA. So really he does not meet the requirements.
It’s already settled law. Cruz is an American citizen and will be the next president of the USA.
This is totally stupid!! Just get on with trying to find a candidate that will try to reverse the damage done by obummer
WAS HE BORN IN AMERICA, ?? NO. CAN’T RUN FOR PRESIDENT. END OF STORY.
Not American!!!!
If he’s not a natural citizen he should not be running.
This is such c**p!
If so why Obama just didn’t say – I am a son of American woman, and shut everyone’s mouth, he was a President and in power, he could have done that? Why he had to show his birth certificate to the world? Moreover, why Ted is afraid, if he is so sure, to take clearance from the court first, so there won’t be any litigation agony to go through from democrats like Hillary and Obama, and from his DOJ’s decree? Cruz is putting his party in jeopardy! No reasonable man ought to do that in such a serious election like this when republican must win this time!
It is quite different between American citizen and American born: American born means you have to born in American Soil.
