Good points. Legal scholars agree that Ted Cruz meets the legal requirements for natural-born citizenship. The problem is it has not been tested in the courts. The Democrats, knowing the effects, will put it to the test; which will put Cruz in judicial limbo that would ruin his ability to serve if he did get elected. As Trump said to the Dallas Morning News "He's a friend of mine. I have great respect for him. . . certainly it's a stumbling block and he's going to have to have it solved before he goes too far."

Even Senator John McCain has doubts on Cruz's birth situation. He just told a Phoenix radio station that he isn't sure if Cruz's birth in Canada disqualifies him.

Cruz is also getting pressure from liberal U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, a Florida Democrat and U.S. Senate candidate who, like Cruz, studied law at Harvard. He told U.S. News that he will challenge Cruz's eligibility in Court if he should win the nomination.

In interviews this week, Trump has called it "very precarious" for the GOP to pick someone whose eligibility for president could take years to untangle in court. He urged Cruz to seek a declaratory judgment, perhaps from the U.S. Supreme Court. Once again Trump's practical take on the issues shows his great wisdom.

The same way climate scientists agree that global warming is caused by human activity.

There are dissenting legal scholars, and there are dissenting climate scientists.
