I know Cruzies don’t want to hear it but Trump is right.
We need to restore the rule of law. And eligibility is another area that needs clarification by the courts and election processes put in place to confirm eligibility of candidates before elections.
What’s more, Trump even outlined a process whereby Cruz could get a Federal court to rule on the matter and settle it.
Trump is an idiot. Article III courts don’t make declaratory judgements and the Naturalization Act of 1790 is the one and only document that defined natural born citizens. And it was made law by the First Congress which is exactly what Article III courts look toward when interpreting original intent.
You are absolutely correct.
Why? I'm perfectly satisfied that Cruz is a natural-born citizen and so far as I'm concerned no clarification is needed. And I'd say the majority of the people in this country would agree if the facts were laid out in front of them. So why should the court take it up.
What's more, Trump even outlined a process whereby Cruz could get a Federal court to rule on the matter and settle it.
And who will initiate that lawsuit? Does Trump expect Cruz to sue himself?
Trum is right. He needs Cruz to be considered eligible so he can have him as veep.
