Oh yeah? Cruz’s Lying by claiming in his most authoritative voice that “it is settled law” when it is clearly NOT is crawling on a snakes belly like the snake he is. His votes have shown me what a fraud he is.
Bothers you that you’re guy is running away from his fight with Cruz, eh? Please, please please disqualify him, I don’t want to get beat.... what a punk.

Donald Trump says questions about whether Ted Cruz is eligible to be President of the United States could become a “big problem” for the Canadian-born Republican candidate. But among legal scholars, there's a consensus: He's eligible to occupy the Oval Office.

Linking to this succinct but powerful essay by Paul Clement and my Georgetown colleague Neal Katyal, Jonathan usefully summarizes the legal argument for why Ted Cruz, who was born in Canada to an American mother, is a “natural born citizen” under Article II, section 1 of the Constitution, which provides:
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution,shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States. (emphasis added)
As he concludes in his post: “Under U.S. law, the fact that Cruz was born to a U.S. citizen mother makes him a citizen from birth. In other words, he is a ââ¬Ënatural born citizen’ (as opposed to a naturalized citizen) and is constitutionally eligible.” To the evidence elicited by Clement and Katyal, I wish only to add that this conclusion is also theoretically justified by a proper conception of popular sovereignty.

I too find Cruz’s claim that “it’s settled law” quite troubling. I can tolerate and expect a little pushing of the truth but outright lying is dishonest. This issue needs to be put to bed or Cruz will not be viable for Trump to pick him as VP.
