“It may seem like sour grapes, but Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution is still the supreme law of the land. How outrageous is it for a Harvard educated lawyer and a self-proclaimed Constitutionalist to claim he is qualified to be POS by producing only his Canadian birth certificate and his recent renunciation of Canadian citizenship.”

And your contention is Cruz, a constitutional scholar, who probably understands article ll as well as anyone is deceptively trying to get around the constitution so he can be President? And in the process, Mark Levin, also a constitutional scholar and every court that has heard this case is wrong?

It really is irrelevant now because Trump, once he hits 1237 is the nominee. I just find it amusing that all these Monday morning constitutional scholars think they know more than someone like Levin who treats the constitution as scripture.

Could be, though Ted has shown a remarkable capability for self-delusion, so he could think he is. What I've said all along is that there are bonafide constitutional experts with legitimate arguments on both sides, and no precedents. Until SCOTUS makes a direct ruling, nobody really can say for certain what the law is. Cruz however has a much weaker case than Obama does, unless someone could prove Obama was born outside the USA.

i don’t know how old you are, but back in the day this was actually taught in civics class in school. it was simple.... born in the US by US citizens and being 35 years old you were eligible to be president.

have you ever thought that Mark is just plain lying about this? cause i do - there’s no other explanation for me, because Mark is not stupid in the least.
