If the Supreme Court came put tomorrow and said that Cruz was a NBC, there are still a lot of people who would not accept it.

The supreme court has no jurisdiction to rule on the eligibility of anyone who is duly elected president.

The Constitution is quite clear about who is able to make that determination and it isn't the Supreme Court, or any court for that matter.

My understanding is that Congress defines the meaning of citizenship. So why is Trump saying take it to Court?

“The SCOTUS has no jurisdiction to rule on the eligibility of anyone who is duly elected president,” BUT they do have jurisdiction to interpret the Constitution of the United States and determine what the Framers meant by “natural born citizen” as required for anyone to serve in the capacity of President of the United States, Commander in Chief of our Armed Forces.

Certainly, as careful as the Framers were, and as educated, they didn’t just insert that phrase haphazardly once and only once, as a requirement for one position, but not for the others. The Supreme Court certainly has that Constitutional interpretive jurisdiction.
