Cruz will never see the presidency. It would only take one judge in one state to have the issue be a question. It was up to Cruz to get a definitive agreed-upon statement of eligibility.

About the only thing I'll ever give McCain credit for is that he got something passed in DC that defined him as eligible before before he ran, and that because he was born on US-controlled soil. Even Obama acknowledged that he had to produce a paper that said he was born in the USA.

He was born in Panama, not the Canal Zone.

What the Senate passed was a non-binding resolution. It didn't make him something he wasn't already.

It should be easy for Cruz to get Congress to deem him eligible now that he has the Bush dynasty, Romney and others part of his campaign or endorsing him. No doubt they will do anything to stop Trump. This could end the discussion.

Actually, McCain was born in the country of Panama; not in the Canal Zone. Pelosi is the person who signed off on him being eligible... probably because she knew he would be a very weak opponent.
