Now to put the monkey on Trump’s back regarding Cruz eligibility ...

It would be presidential of Trump to help clear up the Cruz-birther issue himself. To do his very best to vindicate Cruz’ eligibility would make Trump greater than ever —

— A UNITER.

He could wait until after Iowa, but I hope he does it before New Hampshire at least.

Based on your research, the House and possibly SCOTUS could sabotage Cruz any time they like based on ‘natural born status’.

Hypocritical in light of Obama? You bet. But they really don’t care.

And since Chief ‘Just-us’ Roberts acts like he’s being blackmailed, that makes me uncomfortable with Cruz as our nominee.

Quoting you here:

The first from the law of nations, which requires the child to be born to 2 citizen parents and on American land. The second under British Common Law, as seen in Blackstone’s commentaries, which, though it removes the requirement of being born in the US, transmits the ‘natural born’ status through the father, not the mother.

Hence why a couple of the liberal scholars keep saying ‘under an Originalist view, Cruz would not be eligible,’ because that’s exactly true. A renowned originalist constitutional scholar (frequently cited by the supreme court) even said the same thing: ‘Cruz is not eligible.’
