Donald Trump remains interested in birth certificates.
The reality television host, real estate magnate, and serial almost-presidential candidate who repeatedly demanded that President Barack Obama produce proof that he was born in Hawaii, turned his attention to Sen. Ted Cruz on Monday. In an interview with MyFoxNY, Trump said that Cruz's birthplace, Canada, could be a problem for the Texan's presidential bid.
“Well he’s got, you know, a hurdle that nobody else seems to have at this moment," said Trump. "It’s a hurdle and somebody could certainly look at it very seriously. He was born in Canada … if you know … and when we all studied our history lessons … you’re supposed to be born in this country, so I just don’t know how the courts would rule on it. But it’s an additional hurdle that he has that no one else seems to have."
Unlike Trump, most legal scholars and media outlets that have considered whether Cruz's birthplace represents a "hurdle" to his presidential aspirations have concluded that it does not.
It's not the first time that Trump has questioned whether being born in Canada precludes the senator from running for president. In a 2013 interview with ABC's Jonathan Karl, Trump responded to the question of whether Cruz was eligible to run by saying, "Perhaps not." (The exchange comes at the 2 minute mark in the video.)

Someone needs to tell The Donald that his hair disqualifies him.
And a lot of these FReepers would slice their noses off to spite their faces.
So, which Democrat nominee should they be supporting by default?
And a lot more are going to be with Ted Cruz.
The gerbil he wears was obtained by gross animal cruelty...
Donald Trump has his own agenda.
Donald Trump is the PT Barnum of the modern age.
Trump or monkey? Funniest Letterman bit ever.
He’s a friend of Hilary. Keep that in mind.
A constitutional scholar, who has been before the Supreme Court many, many times, who has been endorsed by the most liberal law professor in the world, would knowingly put out his birth certificate, which is open to view by all to see and run for President of the United States knowing he isn’t qualified.
I don’t think so. And I seriously doubt he would consider it, thinking “well if Obama did it, why can’t I?”
You know, I can’t dislike Donald. in fact, I kind a like him but he better lay off of Ted because I like Ted much better. GO TED GO
”… most legal scholars and media outlets ..."
Yes, legal scholars and media outlets have really been making a fool of lawless Obama for the last several years. /sarc
“3. The Constitution was written to be understood by the voters; its words and phrases were used in their normal and ordinary as distinguished from technical meaning; where the intention is clear, there is no room for construction and no excuse for interpolation or addition.” —United States v. Sprague, 1931.
At this point what difference does it make?
It has been done before. I hope that we do not have a repeat.
Mark Levine says Cruz is qualified, and he knows more about Consitutional than Bad doo Dude...

Cruz was born in Canada, yes.
His Mom was am american citizen who lived in america for 10 years past her 18th birthday before she had Ted in Calgary.
Natural Born Citizen!
Plus Ted Cruz has never gone by any other name than Ted Cruz.
The Donald will do as he did in 2012. Make a lot of noise, then pull the plug on his candidacy. He’s only in this for the attention and when he gets it, he’ll fold.
Sadly, many of those who fell for his charade last time will fall for him again.
And then some:
Since the 1990 U.S. elections, Donald Trump has made contributions to campaigns of both Republican Party and Democratic Party candidates. These have included Republicans John McCain, Rudolph Giuliani, Newt Gingrich, and George W. Bush[125] and Democrats Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Tom Daschle, Joe Biden, Harry Reid, Rahm Emanuel, Hillary Clinton, Anthony Weiner, Charles Schumer, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Charles Rangel.[125][126][127]
