Its too bad that the issue is unresolved. It can’t be wished away. We don’t resolve things with articles from liberal colleges — we actually resolve them with Notice and hearing before the courts and through an appeal process and then by SCOTUS.
Cruz has two options. 1. he can wait for the Democrats to take a judicial track that they control. ( hillary has absolute standing) or 2. he can move for a declaratory judgement and hope to fast track it. If he waits and is picked for vice president by Trump, Then he will be enjoined for two years from taking the oath. Once you take the oath, the issue is moot so he will be enjoined.
It is all well and good for us to express our opinions and desires but it doesn’t make a tinkers damn. Cruz should have seen this coming as inevitable and gone to the courts 9 months ago and it might be over but IT IS GOING TO THE COURTS if he ever gets any traction.

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 only way Hillary will have standing is if she is the Democrat nominee, Cruz is the Republican nominee, and Cruz wins the election. At that point he will be in the White House and she can sue to her heart's content. At the end of the day there is no doubt that the courts would rule Cruz is a natural born citizen.
